CLOTH EARS Posted 19 January, 2009 Share Posted 19 January, 2009 I believe this club could've been taken over a few times over but Lowe and his greedy friends (Askham and Co) have been unrealistic in what they have been asking for their shares.

dubai_phil Posted 19 January, 2009 Share Posted 19 January, 2009 FF There is a clearly defined process if somebody wishes to engage with the club or it's shareholders to buy the club. Contact Keith Harris at Seymour Pierce. It has been quoted on the forum a number of times, especially in the Dan Williams days and it has been pretty well done to death. One thing is sure that any proper bid will require legal counsel and NDA's I would recommend that you pass that information to NZ Saint and then see what happens if due legal process is followed (I am not commenting on the validity of the post or the likelihood of the replies, just passing on something I have learnt in the last two years of reading stuff on here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narcissistic Personality Disorder I've said for a long time that Lowe has a quite serious personality disorder (and I really meant that) - whether it's this or something else I am not sure, but he exhibits the clear traits of someone who cannot accept criticism and cannot accept the opinions of others, and will often "boil over" if he comes up against strong opposition. Thatcher (his heroine no doubt) was just the same. This is why lapdogs like Wilde and Cowen are such wonderful allies for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Hitler's stubbornness and defiance of military realities also allowed the Holocaust to continue. He also ordered the complete destruction of all German industrial infrastructure before it could fall into Allied hands, saying that Germany's failure to win the war forfeited its right to survive.[250] Rather, Hitler decided that the entire nation should go down with him. Execution of this scorched earth plan was entrusted to arms minister Albert Speer, who disobeyed the order' Michael 'Albert Speer' Wilde. Please step forward... last chance.
