um pahars Posted 23 December, 2008 Share Posted 23 December, 2008 but if you say he was sacked then that is fine by me. You'll have to trust me on this one fella, Pearson was more than happy to work with Lowe (which does suggest that Lowe is not viewed as evil by everyone, or, of course Pearson may just have really wanted to carry on regardless of his alledged meddling ways), but Lowe exercised the break clause so he could bring Jan in. There are others on here who were aware of Jan being in the background well before Lowe got his feet back under the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 23 December, 2008 Share Posted 23 December, 2008 I do think it's a shame that the dissenters walked out and didn't register their votes. I have to say though, that if I had been there I may have thought it a wise decision to leave. We can add "Lowe's letter" to "Chris Iwelumo" "picturegate" and the "tracksuit" (amongst others) in his ridiculous Pythonic catalogue of absurdity.

aintforever Posted 23 December, 2008 Share Posted 23 December, 2008 Call it semantics if you like, but his contact had expired. What if Pearson chose not to take the new contract on offer? And if he had it wouldn't have been a universally welcomed appointment, for which RL would have been held responsible. If he was offered anything Lowe would have made a big song and dance about it.

Scudamore Posted 23 December, 2008 Share Posted 23 December, 2008 He was never going to be defeated in a vote and the BBC have covered it as a mass walk out of shareholders, so maybe there was some logic in just getting up and walking out.

jam Posted 23 December, 2008 Share Posted 23 December, 2008 Maybe. Personally, I reckon Tsvangirai was right to withdraw from the run-off with Mugabe too... In fairness A_S, Lowe wasn't sanctioning a campaign of violence against anyone who was threatening to vote against him, which was why Tsvangirai (along with the fac the Mugabe can easily ride roughshot over domestic and international law) rightly pulled out. Crouch and co should have stayed to vote against Lowe. It would have made a statement to those who don't see another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 23 December, 2008 Share Posted 23 December, 2008 Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty certain that Lowe, for all his sins, has not been having villages burned and citizens killed or maimed in order to ensure that they voted his way. I'm also reasonably confident that McMenemy and Corbett did not withdraw from the AGM in fear of the lives of more of the population, not to mention their own. Call me arrogant but I think it's a preposterous analogy, and more insulting to the people of Zimbabwe than it is to Rupert Lowe. Agree. Alpine, UP, hang your heads.

Pearson went on holiday to Malta thinking he had done enough to get the job. He was quite open with people saying he was willing to stay and work with whoever came in and after he sat down with Lowe he came out thinking about next season. I understand Pearson was shocked when he heard he didn't get the job and the line I also heard was that he was a tad miffed that Lowe had not told him face to face (or even via a telephone call).

I'll give you a little clue, because I think there is no way you can compare Lowe with the actions of a brutal dictator, so that is why I find it slightly sanctimonious, if not a tad thick, that some can't seem to understand that:rolleyes: You carry on raising that posse boy, you can be Deputy to DPS's Sherriff, and you can go looking for your next piece of sport:smt078.

Guan 2.0 Posted 24 December, 2008 Share Posted 24 December, 2008 What this boils down to is Lowe having the majority of the popular vote, and those who don't hold him in high regard trying to spin it in any other way.

I don't know why they are celbrating, since their actions acting their shoe size rather than age, seem to play directly into Lowe's description of them as "The Lunatic Fringe". And what, in real terms, did it achieve? Will the world stop spinning tomorrow, or even start to stop? Lowe will be in a stronger position than ever. And those who acted up today may have a warm feeling in their egos tommorow when they look for their names in the local press, but they have simply made themselves look foolish, and shown just how irrelevent to the position of power they truly are.

It's very misleading to use the word "popular vote" (which indicates the measure of overall share of the vote in a one-man-one-vote system), when we're talking about block voting of shares. If Lowe, his monkey Wilde, and the few other supporters he has vote to reinstate him, and Crouch & co. abstain, then clearly he will get the sort of headline number we're talking about. It is in no way a measure of "popularity". Far from it, the AGM walkout (prompted by his behaviour) - not to mention the reaction of the crowd at the forthcoming games - are a much better indication of how 'popular' he is. You have a good point on Chorley though. His antics, presumably motivated by a wish to again be centre stage (pantomime dame?) and get himself in the papers (he got what he wanted, well done), merely detracted from the central issues, and again allowed Lowe to lump all sensible opposition to him into the "lunatic fringe".

On the Pearson issue, please refer to my previous reply to you on this topic: When did he sack pearson? I got no problem having a pop at lowe but I wish people would have a go at him for the right things. I take your point, although it is rather pedantic. Ok, Lowe 'removed him from his position', 'didn't renew his contract' - however you spin it, his tenure terminated at SFC as soon as Lowe took the reigns again. No doubt you will counter with the propoganda from the time put about by Lowe and his spin doctors that 'Pearson was more expensive than JP/Wotte'. Looking back, that might have been a massive false economy? I certainly think so. What's that old saying again: "you pay peanuts; you get monkeys". PS What's a "pedo"?

So if you get made reduntant do you go round saying you got sacked? If your a contractor and your contract finishes are you sacked then? I worked as a contractor for a few years and a few times the company decided they wernt going to renew the contract and there was always clauses that meant they could end the contract at various times as if it had run out completly. Not once did I say I had been sacked. But if people keep saying pearson was sacked it will become widly accepted that he was sacked and the amazing lowe bashing will continue for stuff that is simply not true. it doesnt do the argument for having a go at lowe any good at all IMO. Isnt spin to take a fact and twist it a little to suit an adgenda? This is something Lowe does all the time and something we rightly have go about. yet it seems its ok to say pearson got sacked, WGS and lowe hated each other, Sturrock was sacked and it also seems ok to talk about Lowe and Mugabe in the same paragraph. pedo = kiddy fiddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My points were not based on fact and I was just putting forward a different view. I have said many times I think Pearson should have been given a chance and think he may have done better with the current squad and problems. you may be right and i may have been given the elbow but when companys have let me go as a contractor I know that it has been because they are tightening there belts and expensive contractors are the 1st out of the door to be replaced with cheaper alternatives. jobs still need to be done and the companys will decide how much they want or need to pay for them to get done. I still dont think I got sacked from a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obelisk Posted 24 December, 2008 Share Posted 24 December, 2008 SaintJay, you really come across as a pedant of the highest order. Ever thought of asking Lowe for a job as one of his hangers-on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your going to call someone names make sure you know they understand what your calling them otherwise its not an insult If you think I would want a job with Rupes you have clearly got your wires crossed. I just dont think acting like lowe is the best way to object to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted 24 December, 2008 Share Posted 24 December, 2008 I think it should be pointed out that Ponty does not represent the views of most mods on this site or the views of the vast majority of saints fans in general. Merry Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
