Mr X Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Is it the case that Lowe will be with us for as long as it takes to get investment, in which case a very long time! or can his position become untenable again through fan power, disastrous decisions or other means?
Delmary Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Shareholders and the bank manager will have the biggest say.
saint1977 Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 The Bank, Wilde and Askham - in that order. At the moment, Barclays will be watching closely. If a lower offer comes in that potentially takes the business forward, Wilde and Askham will have to take it or administration comes. We're very close to that point now - there's going to be a resolution soon one way or the other.
alpine_saint Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 We are reaching a crossroads. Either Lowe will be gone very soon due to the failure of his latest experiment or We will be stuck with him forever - he will buy the club outright when we are in administration.
Snowballs2 Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Until he can at least get the value of his original investment back...or make a profit. He must be starting to regret the reverse takeover.

Either Lowe will be gone very soon due to the failure of his latest experiment or We will be stuck with him forever - he will buy the club outright when we are in administration.RL IMO opinion will not buy the club if we go into admin. _15 will mean the club will lose him more money and we will plummet to lge1 or even lge2. Our fanbase would not be able to stomach that situation the Leeds fans are different they felt hard done by when we havew aq constant civil war. He will be better off to take the loss of his stake now rather than the big one if he owned the club.
um pahars Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Shareholders and the bank manager will have the biggest say. I'd say the biggest influence will be: 1. Players & Manager - Keep losing and it unravels. 2. Supporters - If 1. fails then they fail to turn up and it gets worse. 3. Bank - Will ask for action to compensate for 2. 4. Wilde & the Cabal - Will part of that action be sacrificing Lowe. 5. Bank, Norwich Union & other creditors - If not happy (and not getting paid) then they will pull the rug and Lowe will be off.
The Farmer Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Until he can at least get the value of his original investment back...or make a profit. He must be starting to regret the reverse takeover. What original investment????????????????????????

INFLUENCED.COM Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Spoke to Woggy after the game, who had spoken with Leon and Lawrie, both insisted the Fulthorpe 'thing' will happen, 'thing' because do not know how else to refer to it, Woggy remains on 'gardening leave' till the 'thing' happens
bridge too far Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 I wonder how much Lowe (in the form of W H Ireland) has suffered over the past week?
Mr X Posted 21 September, 2008 Author Posted 21 September, 2008 What original investment???????????????????????? I think he's referring to Lowes personal shares
HILL HEAD SAINT Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Is it the case that Lowe will be with us for as long as it takes to get investment, in which case a very long time! or can his position become untenable again through fan power, disastrous decisions or other means? Lowe will be there all the time he can bleed our club dry and then and only then will he ****off!the only thing that might see the back of the smug git is when we go into administration and he does one with his 10p in the pound!
Mr X Posted 21 September, 2008 Author Posted 21 September, 2008 Lowe will go on a Friday Can you be more specific?
Faz Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Lowe will be there all the time he can bleed our club dry and then and only then will he ****off!the only thing that might see the back of the smug git is when we go into administration and he does one with his 10p in the pound!

broncoboy Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 If the football fails, the fans will desert the club and the Bank will realise that they had better get what they can. No one believes you can make money in football anymore and it is a very expensive hobby out of the reach of even multi millionaires. I fear we will go into administration and fervently hope RL will then go rather than miraculously find money to buy the club he couldnt find to invest in the club I fear we shall slip down a league and lose the chance of ever attaining premiership status again. We are not based in London ,we never were a fashionable club The globalisation of football means the majority of clubs like us will be excluded from the "big time" I hope that one day we can touch bottom and start to be a club that is building rather than a club constantly declining. It is a hard road and if this happens I hope we at least see RL humbled and the Rupertnistas silenced
offix Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Ru**rt and the traitor will both be standing mext to the casket at the funeral. Shortly thereafter they will be tried.
dubai_phil Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Alf Garnett .......... 'til Saints Death do us Part

The Farmer Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 I think he's referring to Lowes personal shares Lowe has only taken money from the club, he has never invested any of his own ill gotten gains.

Sadly until hell freezes over, can't see anyone with enough wonga to buy him out at the price he would sell for
um pahars Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Lowe has only taken money from the club, he has never invested any of his own ill gotten gains. In the Rights Issue that raised £3m for SMS, he did put in just over £100k.
Weston Super Saint Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 In the Rights Issue that raised £3m for SMS, he did put in just over £100k. I wonder what his salary was that year....
HILL HEAD SAINT Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Can you be more specific? Yes mate i can,i expect i will bump into you when the few of us that are left are demonstrating outside the itchen with our " rupert you killed our club banners"and for the lowe lovies like scooby and nickh for god sake go to spec savers and change those rose tinted glasses!
puff the magic dragon Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Lowe is a cancer. He'll be at the club until the club dies IMO.
LostBoys Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 I do not think so. I fear the Receiver will see him off before any offer of investment. I think when we are firmly rooted to the bottom at the end of October with crowds of only 15,000 it will get interesting.
Johnny Shearer Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Yes mate i can,i expect i will bump into you when the few of us that are left are demonstrating outside the itchen with our " rupert you killed our club banners"and for the lowe lovies like scooby and nickh for god sake go to spec savers and change those rose tinted glasses! Behave - Scooby is not a Saints fan. More of a WUM that gets people going. Anyhows Lowe will be here until someone comes in with money as simple as that.
Mole Posted 21 September, 2008 Posted 21 September, 2008 Could someone start a thread for me please entitled: Rupert and Mike should apply for Dragons Den Cheers in adavance.
