harvey Posted 14 November, 2008 Share Posted 14 November, 2008 I don't want to muddy the waters, but has anyone on here been in a position to ask Mr Askham why he is so supportive of Rupert Lowe............I don't mean a Southern Evening Echo type interview, just a general 'chat' ?

harvey Posted 14 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 14 November, 2008 I know that a Friday night is not the best time to bring up the subject, I'd just be interested to know. Oh..........maybe anyone who's talked to Mr Richards & the chap who lives abroad could fill in some gaps as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Shot Posted 15 November, 2008 Share Posted 15 November, 2008 I don't want to muddy the waters, but has anyone on here been in a position to ask Mr Askham why he is so supportive of Rupert Lowe............I don't mean a Southern Evening Echo type interview, just a general 'chat' ? I would love to have 5 mins with Askham because he must now see the fruit of so many of his errors and I'd be dead interested in a) how he justifies them and b) what he intends to do to rememdy them. He was after all, once a fan. The key lies with him but is he man enough to unlock the door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was after all, once a fan. The key lies with him but is he man enough to unlock the door?Sorry Longshot Askham is the Lowe-st of the low. The guy is the ultimate leech, and the greed driven architect of our move into plc status, with his fellow cohorts Lowe/Cowan/Wiseman ect, and cannot be trusted to give a true view of any situation. I rate him on a par with the arch traitor TED HEATH, and thats saying something, as he sold the whole country down the E.U swanney!!!!

chocco boxo Posted 15 November, 2008 Share Posted 15 November, 2008 RL made GA a nice wedge, probably set him up nicely for his twighlight years. This probably has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 15 November, 2008 Share Posted 15 November, 2008 The value of those shares at a nominal value of £1 rocketed at the time of the reverse takeover to the extent that for an investment of a mere £2000/£2500 or so, they would have become millionaires had they sold them immediately afterwards. Some of those shareholders were cronies working alongside Askham or business associates of his company and were granted the opportunity of buying into these nominal value shares, so must have a huge debt of gratitude to him. At the time of the reverse takeover, it was rumoured that it was completed with undue haste because there were rival consortia preparing to bid for the club. There were some very unethical decisions made regarding the shares at that time and I suspect that there are many skeletons rattling around in their cupboards. They probably have a gentlemens' agreement to all stick together in case some of these skeletons are revealed, but I use the word gentlemen very loosely, as it certainly doesn't fit the proper usage defining people of honour and integrity IMO.

If i remember correctly Lowe did not become Chairman until Guy got some stick. Definitely a deal for the few to the long term detriment of SFC, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 15 November, 2008 Share Posted 15 November, 2008 we better shut up or Sundance and his boys will be on accusing us of something personal while they ignore the facts Sundance only has one other post today, I think. He used two within a few posts of each other to respond to two posts, whereas anybody with any intelligence if restricted to three posts a day would have lumped the two together as they were on the same thread.

docker-p Posted 15 November, 2008 Share Posted 15 November, 2008 Guy Askham is a pointless little gimp. Sorry I can't be any more constructive in my appraisal but whats the point, it's all be said a thousand times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cannot justify the errors because he sees no errors, so he needs do nothing to remedy something which does not exist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
