Guided Missile Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 I think that one of the most dramatic moments in the history of our club, must have been when Lowe was forced to call in the receiver. What was that fateful board meeting like to witness? What events pushed our great club to the brink of extinction. Was it too many bad decisions made by the management or just bad decisions by the banks? I have a feeling that it could have been just a minor payment that the bank failed to honour and that pushed Lowe into a position that he was powerless to control. What is interesting is that since the purchase of our club, Swiss TV are, for obvious reasons, very interested in the dramatic events behind the fall of Lowe. I have been able to obtain an exclusive video dramatisation of that last board meeting, that is to be shown on Swiss TV next week. Obviously, it is in German, but luckily it has been subtitled in English. You can find it here.
ottery st mary Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 Very good...Thoroughly enjoyed this ...Definite entry for Cannes this year... My Barclays Bank Manager said to me once ....Ottery you just can not be serious, making out MASSIVE cheques to yourself and your best mate..Even after I have told you, enough is enough....I am quietly confident he has said exactly the same to other naughty customers.....Good old Mr FRY..
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 'Lidl are hiring' Magners at the monitor moment. Despite all they say, you DO have a sense of humour!
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 I daren't comment because someone will tell me to "get over it"
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 I daren't comment because someone will tell me to "get over it" Get over it and make a comment.
Toomer Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 I think the conversation with Barclays may gone along the lines of Mr Lowe we wish to remind you that are supposed to bank with us, not us with you.
Block 5 Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 GM has a Hitler fixation? No surprise there. Very funny though.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 Get over it and make a comment. OK, it made me smile!
Draino76 Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 Brilliant. Well done GM, I feel like I wanna have a go!
eurosaint Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 Disappointed that there was no mention of the train picture ! Oh well, maybe in the sequel ??
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 I thought that was brilliant! Very well done.
ottery st mary Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 Disappointed that there was no mention of the train picture ! Oh well, maybe in the sequel ?? The train picture was proffered up to Barclays to cover the rubber cheques. Someone told me to say allegedly when they told me this down the pub...
Johnny Bognor Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 There are loads of these on the Internet, it surprised me that it took so long for someone to come out with a Lowe version. Well played GM. For anyone that wants a go, you can downlaod this version without subtitles, here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnnpk52fb1c&feature=related Then in Windows movie maker, you can add your own. Bingo

Bingo Great.......... you've gone and spoilt the whole thing, there was me thinking that GM had good connections within the 3rd Reich !!
Channon's Sideburns Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 GM...brilliant. I hope Rupert sees this and has a laugh.
rallyboy Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 very funny, though I would like to have seen Rupert topping himself in the bunker.
Johnny Bognor Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 Great.......... you've gone and spoilt the whole thing, there was me thinking that GM had good connections within the 3rd Reich !!

saint_mears Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 GM talking about Lowe again and trying to make out he was innocent in it all boring racist.......
Colinjb Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 GM, I applaud you for that! Funny as f**k! Just one thing, was 'Pole' dancers an intentional reference? No wonder Saga and Rasiak want out!
InvictaSaint Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 Very good. Just in case anybody is interested - pauses - the extract is from a superb German film called "Downfall". Well worth seeing if you are a film and / or history buff.
dubai_phil Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 Sometimes jet-lag is a ***** Then sometimes you're wide awake and find something like this thread. Well done GM Duncan - think you now have the story and the tools to make the Pinnacle/Fry version:-)
saint lard Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 Very good. Just in case anybody is interested - pauses - the extract is from a superb German film called "Downfall". Well worth seeing if you are a film and / or history buff.[/quote] +1,fantastic film.

Probably the only foreign language film I have watched where I didn't actually notice the subtitles as it just grabbed you from the off
Alain Perrin Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 GM talking about Lowe again and trying to make out he was innocent in it all boring racist....... Bizarre response.
St Marco Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 There are hundreds of them...

Fan The Flames Posted 2 August, 2009 Posted 2 August, 2009 Very funny indeed, I loved the quiet 'I was a hockey player bit'.
shurlock Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 (edited) Newcastle is a classic Always seems to make instinctive sense with relegation - not this top four boll**ks and sulking over prima donnas. Watching this, so glad we didnt get keegan or WGS. History is history. Edited 3 August, 2009 by shurlock
opthomps Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 absolutely brilliant, well done, the newcastle and michael jackson ones are class too
LostBoys Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 Very good. Real life may not have been quite like that but I attended the Reserve game at Staplewood the night before the announcement of the appointment of the administrator. To my shock all the evil gang, past and present, were there in animated discussions on the touchline with a guy who turned out to be Fry. It was hilarious as they tried to suck up to him and I advised my fellow supporters in the 'stand' that something was afoot as we had not seen them at a reserve game there before. I wish I had a camera with me and we could have subtitled any film. Yes you are right they did not bother to watch any of the fotball - QED.
Easty Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 I cannot believe how good they are. Laugh I shat me self
Foxstone Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 Outstanding! But think a mention of the train picture might have been included
Junior Mullet Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 +us down here. Probably the only foreign language film I have watched where I didn't actually notice the subtitles as it just grabbed you from the off City of God was like that for me.....
torsaint Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 Truly hilarious. Which one is Wilde? Or was he missing, as usual.
Foxstone Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 Truly hilarious. Which one is Wilde? Or was he missing, as usual. He was the hat stand up the corner !
yorkie Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 Who was the first to go? Blimey a fly on the wall documentary if ever I saw one! When did Rupert grow a moustache, and develop the penchant for being surrounded by brown shirts...but some strange similarities. I would say "too much time on your hands" but what a great effort...it has lightened my day no end. Comic genius? Hardly...but worthy of merit!
SaintRichmond Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 ............... Sorry ............. I read the title literally, and got too excited .... PS .... Anyone want a (just bought) bunch of grapes
eelpie Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 Great historical doc GM. Exactly as it happened! Fact. Must be included in the Saints Museum, if it ever gets off the ground. I saw this at breakfast. I bet Rupert spilt his morning cuppa when he read it! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8180775.stm
ruddick Posted 3 August, 2009 Posted 3 August, 2009 ****ing hilarious - will prob make you the subject of a law suit but hilarious still!
