Mole Posted 6 December, 2008 Share Posted 6 December, 2008 One was SISU and the other was believed to be from Marcus Evans, who subsequently invested in another of Saints’ Championship rivals, Ipswich Town. In addition, Crouch met or talked with a handful of possible investors during his time on the Saints board. They included Dan Williams, who was at one time linked with investing in Blackburn Rovers. For more Saints news don't miss today's Daily Echo. Marcus Evans is a new one on me.:confused: As for Dan Williams perhaps his transvestite tendancies went againt him.

VectisSaint Posted 6 December, 2008 Share Posted 6 December, 2008 crouch as chairman? jesus, some of you are never happy.. i remember when crouch first came on the scene...there was roughly a 10 page thread about peoples dislike for crouch...with sayings like "NOT IN MY NAME".....when crouch claimed he was talking for the fans.. no he is ok? loltastic Only 10 pages There have been hundreds of threads about Lowe, and dozens about the Quisling. In the(un)popularity stakes, Lowe and Wilde outstrip Crouch by miles. I was also against Crouch, primarily for the way he used to shoot from the hip, but he has proved to be by far the most astute chairman we have had in the last few years, recognising that he does not have the acumen to run the club alone, but working with someone with the skills of Lee Hoos in the background. I still feel that if these two could have harnessed the abilities of Cowen as well we would have had a good board in charge. Many people did not (do not) like Crouch, but with the exception of his dallying in appointing a proper successor to the lame Scot Burley, most recognise that he did not do a lot wrong in his short tenure and acted with a damn sight more dignity than Lowe or Wilde could ever muster. At the end of the day he is the only one who truly supports this Club, and puts his money where his mouth is by continuing to sponsor it despite having to hand the money over to Lowe and Co.

Mole Posted 7 December, 2008 Share Posted 7 December, 2008 This latest comment from Lowe about being "open for offeres" is just a re-hash of his old tactics. Of course he's open to offers - most things have a price but Lowe's greed ensures that what Lowe wants is way above what anyone will pay. After a spell of Lowe trying to give the false impression that he's changed and learnt he's once again embarking on his usual method of attack: DIVIDE AND RULE Lowee see's fans (or customers) are an annoying necessity but one which gives him the limelight his ego craves. He's once again playing his games and trying to further polarise the fanbase. You see with Lowe he has no positive contribution to bring to SFC so all he can do is embark on negative campaigning to try to divide and conquer.

So if that is the case then Stanley, shouldn't we rebel against Lowe and unite behind the team (after all that what fans do). Support the team during the game and then by all means demonstrate against Lowe after the game. But of course, this would go against your philosophy. So by boycotting SMS and allowing Lowe to divide the fanbase, then you appear to be helping him with his 'divide & conquer' campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Poppa Posted 22 December, 2008 Share Posted 22 December, 2008 STOCKBROKING group WH Ireland has turned the tables on London rival Blue Oar with plans for a takeover offer. Earlier this year, Manchester-based WH Ireland saw off Blue Oar after a takeover approach. WH Ireland refused to discuss the proposals, saying they were not in shareholders' best interests, and Blue Oar decided not to proceed with a hostile bid. WH Ireland has now declared its interest in buying Blue Oar. It said in a statement that it believed the firms are `highly complementary' and a deal would enable it to expand its main business areas of private client broking, asset management and investment banking. Blue Oar, founded in 1995, has five divisions which turned over a total of £17.2m last year and made pre-tax profits of £1.9m. However, it lost £1.6m in the first half of 2008. WH Ireland, with 15 UK offices and a presence in Australia, turned over £42.7m in the year to November 30, 2007, and made £3.8m profits. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/business/s/1086680_wh_ireland_turns_tables_on_blue_oar_with_offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly your last statement is all too true, they don't want to relinquish the train set, they just want to use the club as an excuse to make headlines in the Echo arguing and in Lowe's case his pet PR flunky Charles Sale. They are all pathetic, including Crouch, and the club will be dead in 18 months. Pity the bank can't force a sale really. Rupert even sank as badly as to put plants on this site's forerunners and I'm fairly sure he's done the same again recently. The only way to remove them for good is prolonged demos and making their life so awful on a matchday that they are hounded out. Nothing illegal or violent, just keeping them on their toes with a hostile atmosphere. I'm just advocating some Lowe/Wilde out posters on their windscreens and chanting from all of us at the games. At the Ipswich game in 05/06, the whole ground was singing "Stand up if you want Lowe out" and that was very powerful. If you see them in the Itchen stand, tell them you want them gone. Sadly, our fanbase is so divided and some people so brainwashed by the spin and so many others have just had enough and have lost the fight.

I am in the last bit, all the fight has gone along with my resolve to watch the abysmal team and will not renew my 2 ST's as I have had enough. I don't blame the players so much its that they are being let down by off the pitch idiots who couldn't run a **** up in a brewery. We were abysmal yet look how long it took to make a substitution! BWP has been pretty good out on the left in the last few games yet gets dropped for a bloke that was clearly unfit and off the pace. When Holmes did get the ball in the box we had 1 striker in there - 4-3-3 - 4-5-1 my arse the players have no idea what they are playing let alone the crowd.

I tell you it does not come easy after nearly 40 years of watching the firsts, stiffs and u18s! I was SOOO angry Saturday night that when I left just before the whistle it took ages for me to calm down and a few beers. All this plastic crap is just that - if we were winning and being entertained then we would have gates like Saturday but the dross that is being served up is driving away the most loyal. I cannot justify over £500 just to get angry and watch this complete shower I would rather play golf or watch a non-league side as the quality isn't that much different! All this emotional blackmail stuff posted on here is just all ******** and should be treated that as that. No-one wants to see us in this position but its been done by years of mis-management by all parties and we need to clear the lot out. I cannot see how anyone can keep sticking up for this lot after Saturday - I have been saying for ages this guy is tactically naive and this game proved it. Holmes for BWP the guy hasn't played a competitive game for 3 months and he gets picked in the most important game in recent weeks! So come April and Early Bird there are certainly 2 that will not get renewed and if that makes me plastic after 40 years then so be it and I will pick and choose my games with the rest.

Chez Posted 22 December, 2008 Share Posted 22 December, 2008 shares are 24p. Market value of the club if £6.74m. Lowe has around 6.5%, worth £438,100. His little consortium own 26%, worth £1.75m. All somewhat down on the 40p ish prices they paid. Unless some chump pays well over the odds Lowe is going to be here to try to turn the club around financially and get that shareprice back up. Sadly unlike other businesses simply cutting staff and being prudent doesn't get a football club back where we want it to be. That can only mean he is going to be here for a long long time.

Earlier in the season Holmes got some pretty tasty crosses in IMO but there was no-one to head them in which is what the delivery deserved. We need to get some height and pace in up front and if that means selling Surman that's what we have to do. Know how you feel because even in the circumstances the team management and selections are wacky and inconsistent and I have little sympathy for the players either - if you don't want pressure, play for a non-league side and get a job like the rest of us with a mortgage and committments. I don't expect miracles at present but bottling challenges like Forest's second goal (twice as well) is disgraceful and deserved the abuse it rightly got from the people sitting around me.

Very true but as with any business (and politics), if the customers and stakeholders want the leader gone, he will be gone. We need a concerted and intense campaign similar to that which removed Branfoot. If Lowe and Askham's matchday experience is made highly uncomfortable they are more likely to bail out. If you take SMS attitudes and those posted on here, 90% want him and his minions gone so instead of squabbling or saying "there's no alternative", let's home in on Lordswood's point, remember that we are all Saints fans and turn on these people. Moreover, the swollen gate numbers might actually say to any non-tyre kickers that we do have potential given some direction, moderate investment and people that know what they are doing.

That can only mean he is going to be here for a long long time. didnt crouch pay over the 60p mark? if so i doubt he will want to sell at 24p,even 54p would be a big loss.i know he has stated that he will give his shares to the right person but who is the 'right person'? does he mean the 'right person' that will get rid of lowe and improve our club or the right person who will get rid of lowe and reinstate crouch in the hot seat?
