Big Ron fan Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 For his last 2 years in charge before being turfed out, and since his return, Lowe seems to have got just about every major decision wrong. (I know a small minority on here will disagree with this statement.) If we do end up going into administration, it is quite possible that the process will also be mis-managed, to the extent that we end up doing it after we've been relegated and end up with a points deduction next season. Nothing in Lowe's record makes me think that even such a crucial issue as this will be dealt with properly. What do you think? Could he get things that badly wrong?

Saint Fan CaM Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 If you mean could he make a decision to risk staying up rather than take the -10 now, then yes, I think that could happen. He may think that winning a couple of games would bring enough punters in to keep admin at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 I think the dealine is halfway through March to take the -10 this season, we will probably be pretty much down by then anyway so it should be a descision even Lowe can get right.

Flyer Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 It could go wrong, eg go into admin this season and then get relegated by less than 10 points or dont go into admin this season, easily get relegated and start next season on -27 points!

He is that stubborn, arrogant and self-opinionated. I have been clamouring for administration for MONTHS now, simply because I want the decision-making power taken away from him (and hopefully his shares lose all their final value). Every decision he makes buries us further in the shiiit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRobbie Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 Good thread. Will Lowe screw up administration? IMHO... Yes for the Club and No for him. He has a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ron fan Posted 20 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 20 February, 2009 Any idea what the plan is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineteen Canteen Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 If we go into administration the points deduction will be the least of our worries and frankly irrelevant if the club is broken up and sold off piece meal to meet the creditors demands and lack of an acceptable rescue package or investment to pay off the creditors. Some of you seem to think it's clever to be calling for administration but its a bloody big hammer to remove a very small nut and the risks are enormous. With the greatest of respect any fan calling for or condoning administration simply has no grasp of the gravity of the situation or they are armchair fans who are somewhat ambivalent towards the club's survival.

Nineteen Canteen Posted 21 February, 2009 Share Posted 21 February, 2009 Am I the only one who chuckled at this bit? In the scheme of things Lowe is a small nut compared to our football club surviving well into the future. I guess as the thread has lost its legs we are reassuringly accepting that apart from Alpine, Administration is the one path none of us want to take.

Search the posts of Clapham Saint and you will find one he posted earlier this week. It will outline all you need to know from someone who works as an Administrator.

With the greatest of respect any fan calling for or condoning administration simply has no grasp of the gravity of the situation or they are armchair fans who are somewhat ambivalent towards the club's survival. No-one wants Administration, not even Alps. However, it is clear that we have been or are very close to it, this is not hearsay, it has come from the Board themselves - therefore many are resigned to the fact that it will occur. That is very different to wanting it. The worst case scenario though is that Lowe who is a complete failure in every respect with running this organisation (not the so-called succesful businessman that a small minority on here would like us to believe), will even mess up that decision. To make things even worse the possibility that he may still be involved after Administration in some form sends shivers down the spine. Administration is as far as I can tell, almost inevitable, like relegation, the only small silver lining behind this cloud is that the rather large nut will not longer be allowed to make things even worse.

Oh yes, and deliberately, spitefully so! So that whoever is waiting in the wings to come in and buy from the O.R. would be buying an already poisoned chalice. So much so that there will be no takers bar one. The consortium that I believe RL has in waiting. He is so supremely confident that he could save us from a fate similar to Bournemouth's that he would do just that and thereby secure his predestined adulation and immorality (sp) among the fans. Just a hunch which I have long held. Oooooops! I misspelt immortality! But you knew what I meant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You now admit that, no matter how small, your puppetmaster is a nut! Way to go 19 but at last you're turning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
