Foxstone Posted 26 February, 2009 Share Posted 26 February, 2009 Robert Chase at Norwich wasn't popular Absolutely right ! He made Rupert look highly competent and popular.

saintwarwick Posted 26 February, 2009 Share Posted 26 February, 2009 How bizarre. This is a debate (allegedly) about who is/was the most hated chairman ever and you have to introduce elements of your hierarchy of who you most want to die. What exactly goes on in your mind? Is it any different to what Stanley is posting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 26 February, 2009 Share Posted 26 February, 2009 He is rightly or wrongly in the top 2.If this site was going during the branfoot years then without a doubt in my mind Askham was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a student in Norwich for a few years when the anti Chase feeling was running high and I'd say the feelings against Lowe is about the same as the feelings were against Chase.

Its all relative I know, but if you ask my Dad who is an NCFC season ticket holder he would string Chase up every time before any other chairman.

If your Dad has a NCFC ST I guess he's a big fan? Would that not mean that he probably would get heated up over NCFC matters way more than SFC? When Chase was getting (rightly) hounded I had sympathy but was pretty phlegmatic about the whole affair. Moving back to the ball and chain currently ensconced in our boardroom, Lowe's latest experiment may send us down a 2nd time (would that make him the worst chairman in Saints history?) and although I don't hate the man I can't believe he's been allowed to get away with it for so long. On grounds of competence he should never have been allowed back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channon's Sideburns Posted 26 February, 2009 Share Posted 26 February, 2009 Askham is worse than Lowe in my opinion... At least Rupey Baby actually did follow through with decisions..rightly or wrongly. Askham stitched the City of Southampton with the reverse takeover ..deserves every piece of contempt he gets.

sidthesquid Posted 26 February, 2009 Share Posted 26 February, 2009 There have been several hated football chairman over the years but i can't think of any more despised than our Gloucestershire pig farmer.

On grounds of competence he should never have been allowed back. Without question yes, just as much as we get heated up over Saints issues and not care a flying fig about NCFC's matters. He knows nothing little about Lowe other than what I tell him and indeed puts down the main cause of our demise at Redknapps door ( which is fair IMO as he did just as much to see us relegated from the Prem). As I say its all relative to your own particular cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan The Flames Posted 26 February, 2009 Share Posted 26 February, 2009 How many non-Saints fans know Rupert Lowe is chairman, let alone have an opinion on him? Who is chairman of Ipswich, Nottm Forest or Charlton? Exactly nobody knows the chairmen of those clubs because they haven't got the egomaniacs we have. Out of my mates they support Arsenal, Spurs, Man U & Brighton they are all aware of Lowe and his antics. At work talking to clients about football, when I say who I support most mention something about Lowe, they might not remember his name but they all know we are run by a nutter. I am not exaggerating but most proper football fans know of Lowe. Just like the football fans on here have managed to mention mad chairmen from other clubs, some going back a good few years, the football fraternity know.

Fan The Flames Posted 26 February, 2009 Share Posted 26 February, 2009 almost right ! it was his son,Uday Hussein,who was Minister of sports-and thus effectively acting as a Director of Football in Iraq. after they lost,he was known to lock the team up in a dark prison cells,and sometimes performed "light" torture on the poor souls... Makes Lowe seem like a real SAINT It was on their poor soles, on occassions he battered the soles of their feet when they lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 26 February, 2009 Share Posted 26 February, 2009 Ken Richardson at Doncaster couldn't have been too popoular when, after taking his club out of the FL and into the Conference, he torched the mainstand in pursuit of insurance money and left the club homelesss. But looking at Donny's Phoenix-like recovery i nthe interim, and in a smart new stadium to boot, perhaps he was just 10 years ahead of his time?

saint1977 Posted 26 February, 2009 Share Posted 26 February, 2009 I don't like Lowe but no way is the most hated Chairman ever. I'd say from memory: - Archer/Bellotti at Brighton, including flogging off the Goldstone. Pure evil. - Robert Chase at Norwich. Was really hated and allegedly did a runner - Terry Smith at Chester - a US owner who tried to enforce gridiron tactics and then appointed himself Chairman/Manager - Gregory/Deacon at the Skates. Venables wasn't Mr Popular with the Blue Few either. - Richardson at Doncaster a few years before John Ryan took over. Tried to burn down the main stand (allegedly) I seem to recall for the insurance money - Askham - vile behaviour in the Bowyer affair and useless Chairman who brought us Branfoot and then gave him a new contract. - Wiseman - not Saints Chair but went one better and let us down at the FA instead. Same Saints offences as above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that there is a lot of the 'same old' written by the 'same old' and this applies equally to both sides of the coin. I have no problem whatsever with opinion whether I agree with it or not. What I do find frustrating on this board is when, for want of a better word, those with 'extreme' views resort to abusive name-calling, I really don't see the need for it and certainly don't see how it enhances and argument / debate. From the thread I referenced it would appear there is quite a number of posters who also find this approach rather tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
