"Rupert James Graham Lowe" is a British businessman, who was the chairman of Southampton Football Club from 1996 to 2006.

We want him to stay but I cannot give any copper-bottomed answers and say he will be here for the next five years or two years or whatever. We hope he will [stay] and, while he is happy that we are the club to give him the right career path to progress, then I am sure he will stay. But if at any stage he wants to go then that will be a matter for him and his advisers and those he talks to.
