eelpie Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 (edited) Isn't it time we let Mark Fry know why any consortium that involved Lowe and Askham hidden inside it is totally unacceptable, and why? Is this worth a poll and sticky, mods? I think so. Can you devise one? And how many would sign a petition? Edited 27 April, 2009 by eelpie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 The fans have no say in this. Fry picks the consortium best equiped to repay the creditors, that is the worrying thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 But they have not ruled out Lowe being involved in any bid have they ??? But Scott is the only likely bidder that would still have Lowe anywhere near the club. All the rest can't stand him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 Going slightly off at a tangent here but something I am keen to know... Does MF have any duty to secure the future of the club to the best possibility to ensure that administration never happened again? Im guessing it is within best practice to do this. To ensure that the buyer has sufficient funds to not only puchase the club, but with expected income in the future, keep the club running? If this is the case, then surely any bid which contains any of the pratts that ruined the club should be automatically declined due to their involvement and what it will mean to future income. We all know that if they have anything to do with the new owners, the fan base will still remain divided and now a league lower, attendances will be even smaller and there would be a very strong chance we would be in the same state in a small space of time again.

WealdSaint Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 I don't think that Lowe & Askham personally have anywhere near the amount of money needed. That being the case, would anybody team up with them knowing that, Lowe in particular, will probably wipe several thousand of the home gates next season?

VectisSaint Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 The fans have no say in this. Fry picks the consortium best equiped to repay the creditors, that is the worrying thing. While technically probably true, this must also preclude Lowe and Wilde being involved in any way, shape or form, since it is clear they not only cannot deliver but actually make it even harder to pay back creditors due to the evidence that their presence actually does impact attendances. He must also be aware that any investigation into financial irregularities must involve Lowe and Wilde (as well as Askham, Crouch, etc etc) and therefore could be a huge risk for any creditors or successof a consortium. I think Mr Fry will be well aware already that Lowe and Wilde are persona non gratis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works on behalf of the creditors therefore I guees Aviva would rather have £20mil from a cowboy than £10mil from a gent ! A bit like you selling your house, do you really worry what the neighbours might think after you've gone or do you sell to the highest bidder ??

I would have serious concerns over the judgement of any potential owners if they included Lowe anywhere near their consortium!!!!!!!! Talk about scoring an own goal!!!!!

benjii Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 Fry doesn't "pick" anyone. He can't compel the creditors to accept or decline anyone. If they want they can wind the PLC up or they can do a deal with someone. Who that is is up to them. Fry's duty is to run the PLC in the meantime and search for a resolution acceptable to the creditors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 I hope we all pray for that, Hypo. Regardless of anyone's opinion on any of the previous 'players', surely no one can disagree that a wholly fresh start would be the best way (if not the only way) forward.

So very true! The trouble is, Fry has to get the best deal for the creditors. Just hope that the best successful bid avoids including any of the pariahs.

Ewell Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 Isn't it time we let Mark Fry know why any consortium that involved Lowe and Askham hidden inside it is totally unacceptable, and why? Is this worth a poll and sticky, mods? I think so. Can you devise one? And how many would sign a petition? If you think Mark Fry is going to take notice of a poll on a Saints Forum then you are sadly mistaken! His job is to sell the club whilst getting the best deal possibly for all the creditors. It is his professional duty to do so! As long as a buyer can prove sufficient funds then who they are will be little cause for concern for Fry and his colleagues!
