trousers Posted 14 April, 2009 Share Posted 14 April, 2009 There was an update from the administrator of Southampton Leisure Holdings but no article from either David Jones or Ken Tointon from the Football Club board in yesterday's matchday programme. Why not? Either the Football Club is a separate going concern to the PLC or it isn't.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 14 April, 2009 Share Posted 14 April, 2009 Since when has David Jones ever bothered himself with the minor detail that we are a football club ? Does he even go to any matches ? I'd like to know why he didnt quit with Lowe; his culpability for our predicament stands out like a sore thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 14 April, 2009 Share Posted 14 April, 2009 (edited) Have I missed something, who is Ken Tointon? Nobody knows, must be some bloke appointed by someone to be on the FC board with Dave Jones.Some sort of Independent Financial Advisor or other. wallah from Southend, looks like his daughter might be a soap star. http://www.ifa-guide.co.uk/essex/westcliff-on-sea/kenneth-tointon-associates-ltd-9885.html Edited 14 April, 2009 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 14 April, 2009 Share Posted 14 April, 2009 (edited) Looking in Google he is head of some accountancy outfit in Chelmsford, hopefully not connected in any way to the Administrators. Also appears to be father of some minor soap celeb who I have never heard of called Kara :confused: Not clear why we need another accountant on the FC Board, would have seemed more sensible to have someone who knew something about football, but perhaps that is too obvious.

I guess I have been listening to much to the happening beats on Radio Solent and got my Administrators and 80's front men mixed up. Mark Fry does have a touch of the new romantics about him or like a lot of accountants are secret Gary Numan fans who live with their Mums or least that is what I am led to believe about a certain high profile poster.

Its not my alledged hero I'm worried about, it's the club and I was just in the minority of fans who post on this forum who actually believed Lowe was actually what was needed. A hard nosed arrogant businessman who would be prepared to upset a few for the greater good of the club - it's survival. A desperate solution and in desperate times and had there been a viable alternative to the carrot dangler then I would have taken it. Fact remains if we had averaged 20k as we did and more in the previous and equally poor season then we would be celebrating another successful survival campaign!

trousers Posted 14 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 April, 2009 Have I missed something, who is Ken Tointon? At the first press conference that the Administrator (Mark Fry) held at SMS a journalist asked him if Lowe an Wilde were still on the Football Club board to which Fry said, "No, they've resigned from both the PLC and Football Club boards". The journalist then asked, "OK, so who is now on the football club board?". To which Mark Fry responded, "David Jones and Kenneth Tointon". (Note: the latter's name was muffled and unclear but someone came up with Ken Tointon as best guess. Mr Tointon just happens to work out of the same building in Southend as the Administrators for Southampton Leisure Holdings...) I still don't understand why the Football Club board isn't in "business as usual" mode for day-to-day activities such as writing chairman's notes in the matchday programme.

Thanks, bit of a concern that there is this closeness between the Administrators running the plc, and the people running the Football Club. Given the FL investigation, I would feel more comfortable if this difference was as great as possible, this seems to me to muddy the waters somewhat.
