trousers Posted 31 December, 2008 Share Posted 31 December, 2008 There have been further worrying signs for the share price as yesterday one trade of 100,000 shares was at the price of just 18.5p. Is it me or are 80% of Echo articles a direct cut-and-paste of what's posted on here the day before?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 31 December, 2008 Share Posted 31 December, 2008 Saints’ PLC chairman Rupert Lowe holds 1,577,969 shares but he has paid a variety of different prices for them over the years. However, if his shares sold for 50p each they would net him £788,985. At today’s price it would be £339,263. Reading the above rams it home that Lowe has control over a football club with such a paultry sum of bottom-line cash. Just over £300k? How can a single man have so much power and grip on a club with such a small stake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case some of you muppets haven't realised the whole world is in financial meltdown and virtually all share prices are dropping. Wrong. Share prices everywhere have dropped. They have started to bounce back. At today's level the FTSE has risen 20% in the last month. It is the SLH share price that is now bucking the trend. Please check your facts before you call everyone muppets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please check your facts before you call everyone muppets. Indeed. Coupled with the fact that SLH shares have actually held quite steady over the last few months whilst the rest of the financial world crumbled. So, apart from that not a bad comparison...

Coupled with the fact that SLH shares have actually held quite steady over the last few months whilst the rest of the financial world crumbled. So, apart from that not a bad comparison... Depends what time span you take. Saints shares have fallen over 50% since February. The FTSE has not fallen as dramatically. I guess that our share price is a better barometer of how the football club is doing / of how attractive we are seen in the football world than of the general economic, business climate. Despite Washsaint's view of us as muppets I would contend that a falling share price is more indicative of our general footballing worth than anything else.

SaintRobbie Posted 31 December, 2008 Share Posted 31 December, 2008 Gosh the Echo is after Lowe & Co. suddenly The media generally reflects public opinion. It rarely shapes it. Afterall it has to sell papers and people buy what they want to read. I anticipate the Echo will really go for Lowe in the forthcoming months unless he steps down soon.

RobM Posted 31 December, 2008 Share Posted 31 December, 2008 Why do I have a feeling that this is the time that Lowe will look to increase his shareholding? With a rock-bottom price, he will find a way of buying more either to increase the say he has and the chance of staying on long-term, or to increase the amount he makes from any takeover or buyout.

Just over £300k? How can a single man have so much power and grip on a club with such a small stake? That is a very relevant, worrying and sobering question, Trousers. Unfortunately the only people who can answer it are Guy Askham and associates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I anticipate the Echo will really go for Lowe in the forthcoming months unless he steps down soon. i dont want to be personal, but thats a little nieve. i present one case without wanting to start a debate, why in the case of the girl in portuagul was it that instead calling for the heads of the parents whos choice it was to repeatedly leave there kids unattended in a foreign country to have a meal and drinks with friends, not call for the parents to be prosicuted for child neglect, because the media choose to present the case in a different light, and people bought it. you have to take everything that the media gives you and make your own mind up as to weather it is an accurate relflection of the facts, dont forget that all forms of media have owners, they have there own agenda(politacal allegence being a big one), and editors are the same, dont be easily fooled by what you see and read, for god sake have you seen our clubs website!

Hmmm.....100,000 shares @ 18.5p per chance? I think it might have to be declared if he bought additional shares, owing to the percentage he currently holds. Then again, I might be thinking of the terms when the stock was in a bid situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you 100%. I was illustrating the same point on a different thread over this to be honest. What I was saying for effect here was that it is important to note that the Echo has now started to reflect public opinion... their motives are more likely to be to sell papers by stirring Lowe out calls than a genuine regard for the Club. Nonetheless, I am happy to see them doing it as I believe it DOES firmly reflect the views of the overwhelming majority of Saints fans and their crusade is right. Look forward to viewing more.
