alpine_saint Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 Well, lets face it, we've never heard of opposition in the board room being stamped out like that when Lowe has been involved before, have we ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 "Shareholders said that there was a tacit understanding at the time that the consortium bought its stake that a new chief executive would need to be found.

I think you've read that wrong - RL is the chairman. It's badly written - there should be a semi-colon after the job title. With Rupert I guess it should be a colon I believe one of the other directors is from Carphone Warehouse. Didn't he do something dodgy with his shares in CPW as collateral (allegedly)? I see Lord Marland is also a director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of his rivals have been ousted, so therefore his position has been strengthened if anything .......... ................bit like when he used to run SFC ...........

Stop winding everyone up, you have nothing to back the statement up, we have enough to worry about without the ghost of all that is bad hanging over us. I am not winding people up .... When he was ousted before, I said that as long as he possessed just ONE share in SFC, he would be back .. Everybody on here thought I was nuts then ........ but he DID come back, and don't we know it now I agree it is just my opinion ........but the man is obsessed with never being wrong, and in his eyes he has done nothing wrong I say again, IMHO, Lowe will be back. He never does anything without a reason ........ Lowe & Wilde joined forces in a Grand Plan. I'm convinced that that plan had very little to do with the well being of OUR Football Club SFC will NEVER be any cheaper to buy than it is now. The "debt" with Norwich(Aviva) can be reduced dramatically with or without the involvement of Southampton Council, and there is still adequate "space" within the Stadium area, to incorporate the other amenities that were lost in the failed Stoneham project ....... ( the majority of which are now safely in place within Eastleigh ) The only stumbling block is that Lowe is lurking in the background I fear, ready to front a Consortium Happy Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 Rupert WILL be back one way or the other I don't know why you keep saying this. It's not going to happen. Rupert Lowe is not a wealthy man in the scheme of things. He's even less wealthy now that SLH has gone down the pan, one of his other companies went into admin, and w h irelands shareprice has crashed. Forget Lowe he is a yesterdays man.

Lowe did not chose the Administration, he did not plan it, it is not some part of an elaborate scheme. The only way he is going to be back is if he can find the funds to out bid any other consortium. I very much doubt that he will be able to do so. If another consortium buys the club he will have no shares, no influence, no leaverage and no ability to force himself back into the fore.

IN MY DAY Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 Everything he touches truely does turn to xxit!! After Barclays pulled the plug W.H.Ireland produced a future shareprice forecast for Barclays Shares of around 46p for the year when they were around the £1.30. . They finished on Friday at £2.36. Tried not to read to much into it at the time but Lowe being Lowe you wouldn't put it past him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
