spyinthesky Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 Personally had never been too sure about Perry and co and their constant carping at Messrs Lowe/Askam and co and the Stock Market listings. It seems history will vindicate their stance even if there are questions about their methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was how they said it which was the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems history will vindicate their stance even if there are questions about their methods. Not really. It wasn't "stock market listing" that appointed Steve Wigley and Jan Poortvliet. Just the crazed appointments of a lunatic and the architect of two (yes, two, deal with it) relegations. The first five, six, seven years of "stock market listing" we were more than fine and prospered where our peers went down. Perry and co haven't got a fu ck ing clue about anything and I wouldn't trust them with the proverbial whelk stall. Spare us from the rent-a-quote Scargillettes.

Plumstead_Saint Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 Well time will tell...but Chorley did claim that the PLC was stopping us finding a buyer, a while back. Many people who had it in for them [including Fry?] said that was rubbish. I hope that they turn out to be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan The Flames Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 It was Lowes constant eye on the stock market listing that persuaded him to appoint Wigley & Poortvliet, imo. Richard Chorley always spoke sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people who had it in for them [including Fry?] said that was rubbish. I hope that they turn out to be right. Anyone with half a brain was aware that the plc was blocking us finding a buyer. Chorley qualifies in that respect. If anyone still doubts it, then they only have to see now that the plc is dead that buyers are interested and can effectively take over the club relatively easily. While you had a ***** like Lowe having a major stakeholding takeover of the plc was all but impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 It was all the different people involved with the shares and the complicated nature of it as well as Lowe wanting "a fair price" for his shares along with his mates. I suppose that is in part due to the PLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 7 April, 2009 Share Posted 7 April, 2009 Thats my view Mine too. It's a real shame that we haven't had a really effective independent fans' organisation during the recent past years. We certainly could have done with one when it became clear that Lowe and the Quisling were returning and that the first thing that they would do was to dispense with the services of Nigel Pearson and appoint instead the double Dutch. Also, a unified fanbase might have told Lowe how ridiculous the idea was to play all of the youngsters whilst simultaneously loaning out our three top strikers. As it was, there was no collective body of opinion against them and they proceeded by divide and rule and we have suffered as a result. The unified body of fans that has brought about the financial crisis is that of the boycotters who have ceased attending through apathy and a feeling of helplessness as they had no mouthpiece to speak for them and felt that as individuals they held no power. Ironically, they gained power as a large body of individuals acting separately, but by all doing the same thing, i.e. ceasing to attend matches. They thus became a powerful weapon able to exert massive financial pressure against the board, but one without a voice. SISA should have been that voice if it had the confidence and support of those disillusioned fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
