Channon's Sideburns Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 If not, somebody should have today. If you read this Mr Askham, please do not go again. You have contributed more than anyone to the mess we now find ourselves in. You obviously have hide thicker than Lowe to think that you can just turn up and not take any of the blame. HTH you ended up in the Directors Box is a puzzling and worrying mystery to me. Don't you get involved again with the club that we all love..go home, enjoy your retirement and spend your money.

Petersfield Saint Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 I can honestly say that I hate this man more than Lowe, Wilde or any of the others put together!! :minigun::smt021:rock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostBoys Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 I cannot believe they were there. When they were exiled they had the ex-Directory box and sat there but they released that when Lowe came back and so have no right to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 I almost crashed the bloody car on the way home when Mark Dennis said that Askham was in the Directors Box. They say no sense, no feeling dont they, and that certainly applies to that weasel. I agree with a previous post, he should be more detested than Lowe and Wilde.

Next time anyone sees him, give him both barrels verbally. Lowe may be delusional (christ only knows how many times I've slagged him off), Wilde may be a fantasist (with early promise only to fall short), and Leon may sometimes let his heart rule his head, but all three of them combined fall short of the ineptitude and sheer lack of respect that Askham has shown towards this Football Club, the fans, and the City of Southampton. I hope that if Mr Fry watches this forum that he ensures that Mr Askham can have NO say in the future of this club. He is the core architect of our problems.

WokingSaint Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 I really don't get this hate of Guy Askham. OK, he may have made a misjudgment (allegedly) by supporting Lowe but you are obviously too young to remember that Saints were one of the best run clubs financially and that was down to Guy Askham. He was also responsible for thrashing out a deal to sign the European Footballer of the Year and other top players! What exactly is your problem?

Greed is quite often the downfall of many a man who previously worked in the best interest of the company. Sometimes men are easily misled by others who have thath greed in their eyes. I am not sure what happened to Askham but it would appear that Rupert and Retirement Homes business (whatever the name is) took the club hook line and sinker. But as informed that is all in the past...Let us hope that Guy finds the exit door with the rest of Ruperts Mob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love Lawrie to confirm that one - wasn't Alan Woodford Chairman at that time? Guy Askham, the football visionary that got rid of Chris Nicholl and replaced him with Ian Branfoot? The Guy Askham who led the reverse takeover that brought in Lowe and no investment, but strangely enough, as was shown on Panorama, led to him making a tidy sum from minimal investment? Or the Guy Askham who with others took old SFC shares for a pittance and sold them for a fortune? Or the Guy Askham who supported Lowe's methods, idealology and yet still doesn't have the humility to realise he's not wanted here... You understand the hatred now then???

Channon's Sideburns Posted 5 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 5 April, 2009 Perhaps this is why he was there.... --- Tuesday 3rd April 2007 By Simon Walter » A butcher's son known as Mr Jersey' is the man behind last week's purchase of £253,000 worth of shares in Saints' parent company. Tom Scott, a business associate of former Saints director Mike Richards, is believed to have bought 550,000 shares in Southampton Leisure Holdings plc at the end of last week. Of those, 300,000 were sold by ex-Saints chairman Rupert Lowe's father, Patrick. As the chairman of Channel Island Traders, the Channel Islands' largest company with a Stock Market value of around £230m, 62-year-old Scott is the most prominent businessman in Jersey with a reputation for ruthlessness. Scott left school at 15 and is now worth £100m. He made most of his money through the International Energy Group, which he sold for £200m two years ago. Intriguingly, former Saints director Richards - a supporter of Lowe's during last summer's takeover battle - was chief executive of IEG. Former Saints chairman Guy Askham, who also backed Lowe last summer, was a non-executive director of IEG before the Guernsey-based company was taken over by Australian venture capitalists Bab**** and Brown Infrastructure in 2005. Channel Island Traders has a monopoly on business in Jersey and Guernsey but a statement to the Stock Exchange last Friday revealed that it is the subject of a takeover offer. If Scott was to relinquish his position as chairman of CI Trading, of which he is believed to own 17 per cent, he would have more time - and money - to focus on a new project . . . potentially Southampton FC. He has been to St Mary's to see Saints in the past but is not the close friend of Lowe he has been reported to be in the national press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO he has been the archuitect of the last years of unrest.A man who kept Branfoot even though it was abundantly clear he was useless. A man who let the club nearly lose its place in the top flight as he wouldnt get rid of Branfoot and only MLT's magic and Ball getting that ou saved the day.Had that not happened we would be L2 now.Add to that his part in the reverse takeover then you may see why i think he is the face of our demise.Lowe was just his man at the front IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WokingSaint Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 Channons Sideburns, let me clarify. Alan Woodford was chairman but Guy Askham was Financial Director. LM had persuaded KK to consider joining Saints, but it was GA who sorted out a satisfactory package. Branfoot was obviously a mistake, but he had been a coach at Saints under LM. What sum did GA make? Do you know? SLH shares have never been worth a fortune and his small holding would not have been worth that much. What good would it have done Saints, or GA, if he had held onto them - they are worthless now. I have never heard GA openly support or oppose RL. Perhaps as former Chairman he felt he should stay out of all the arguments. No, I don't understand the hatred and vilification of the people who made the Club what it was in the 70's and 80's - it's hardly been that good since!

No, I don't understand the hatred and vilification of the people who made the Club what it was in the 70's and 80's - it's hardly been that good since! As you will see from my post today, I have stated he has now only not gained further financially because of the collapse of SLH. Sometimes on here phrases can be typed that you review in the morning and then realise that they do not show the meaning meant behind the statement - and for that I apologise if it misled. That does not excuse the Reverse Takeover or the methods used to buy up 'Old' Limited Company shares - the aim was to make a big profit - did the BBC lie then? Yes, he does stay out of the arguments, but he's always been there in the background. I'd much rather have someone like Mike Richards on board who actually explains his reasoning for supporting Rupert than someone who keeps people guessing. BTW, surely using your shareholding to support the return of Rupert Lowe is openly supporting him?? So if he didn't support Lowe, why was he always there in the Directors Box with him? or the Ex-Directory corporate box?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
