The9 Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 W.H. Ireland Group PLC 24 April 2009 WH Ireland Group plc Suspension of Directors The Board of WH Ireland Group plc (the "Group") announces that, following a board meeting held on 23 April 2009, two directors, Laurie Beevers and David Youngman, have been suspended as employees with immediate effect. The decision of the directors (excluding Messrs. Beevers and Youngman) was unanimous. The Board has also been informed by Laurie Beevers and David Youngman that they will not be voting in favour of certain of the resolutions at the Annual General Meeting of the Group to be held on 29 April 2009. These are Resolutions 4, 6, 7 and 9 for the re-election of Rupert Lowe, Richard Ford, Nigel Gurney and Roland Rudd as directors of WH Ireland Group plc and Resolution 12. END But all that says is that the two people not supporting Lowe have been removed from the organisation, and implies that the remaining Directors support Lowe. It makes the opposite point to the one I assume you were trying to make about Lowe being isolated. Of course this assumes Lowe's not the only remaining director, I wouldn't know.

Lowe causes division EVERYWHERE! So the directors are removed as they dont support Lowe who is relected onto the board. Shares collapse and Lowe resumes his seat. Wonder where this company is going.... W H Ireland RIP. Lowe has a super impact. Would you take him onto your board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, all you can understand from the information given is that 2 people that were in opposition to him are no longer involved there. For all we know from that statement there might be completely legitimate reasons for that. As for "my board", I don't have one. I don't even have the one I used to pin my Subbuteo pitch to any more.

For all we know from that statement there might be completely legitimate reasons for that. As I say, it reads like SLH plc last May. Wonder what happened to SLH plc? But it does illustrate that a split boardroom involving Rupert Lowe has undermined confidence in the company and has resulted in a massive drop in the share price. Rupert does it again. The man is a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonah Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 It isnt drivel it is a fact. I dont have the time or inclination to discuss bears, stags and bulls in share trading with you, but trust me, if a guy is regarded as being rubbish people sell their shares at a lower price. Hey presto! Guess what happened in late March to WH Ireland!? LOL, deary me have you been searching on Wikipedia for those nuggets? I'm afraid your simplistic view might sound good as a populist soundbite but it's factually a load of nonsense - do you think failed takeover talks (ho ho) and results might have had more to do with the drop? I'll give you a clue, look at the date they were announced. Oh, and the share price had dropped nearly 40% before Lowe joined too. You might also want to check what WH Ireland actually do and then search on Google for a term called "credit crunch" (it's not a breakfast cereal).

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 The possibility of Lowe making an unwelcome return must be classed as remote in the extreme for the following reasons : 1- It's generally accepted he does not have the level of wealth needed to own the club. 2- With all SLH shares now effectively worthless 'Mr 6%' supporters are now out of the picture - always the power behind his throne. 3- He so unpopular no sane consortium would want him anywhere near the club surely . The man is box-office poison . 4- His unparalleled record of consistent failure might not inspire much confidence with the city's money men . I don't think we need waste much time worrying about Rupert Lowe anymore , he'll never darken our collective doorsteps again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
um pahars Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 the fact most people still can't put 2 and 2 together to work out the gross mis-management in accruing a £6.5m overdraft says a lot more than an irrelevant graph. Something not lost on me regarding your inability to work out the timing relating to that overdraft, despite all you pontifications on this site. Happy to come on here and cast your ill founded accusations, but then rather quiet when they are proved incorrect (maybe now you would like to correct your earlier claims about the overdraft, but then again considering you've ignored all the posts on the matter ever since you were found out, I'm not holding my breath). Maybe we'll now have the blustering tactic of twisting the scenario, diverting attention or ignoring it long enough so you can say "that was ages ago, move on" LOL.

dubai_phil Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 Lowe won't be back As we speak he is holed up in his Cotswold castle starting out on his new career as a writer of Management Books. His first tome is guaranteed to be a best seller in the City. It is entitled "How to be a big shot in the City and avoid all blame" Apparently it has high level executive sponsorship with a forward by Gordon Brown and some guy called Godwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenwilkins Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 Are Lowe and his co-directors guilty of trading while insolvent if SLH continued operating beyond it's authorised overdraft? If so what sanctions could they face apart from being prevented from becoming company directors again? I'd be interested to hear from the accountants and lawyers on here if they see this post.

Window Cleaner Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Is Lowe keeping quiet at the moment because he's under "legal advice" to do so or could it be that he's somehow connected to one of the 'interested parties' and as such is subject to an NDA? Got to be one of the two, hasn't it? I think he's just busy sorting out the mess at W H Ireland to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably we can access Mr Lowes address from Companies House and let him know that the supporters/customers/rabble have not forgotten him. Damn! You beat me to it. That's obviously the reason that Lowe has been quiet; he's having to look for a toadie to pen a letter fulsome in its praise of his financial prowess and brilliant leadership qualities. I can think of a few on this very thread who would gladly oblige him if he wished them to do it. Or did the massive ego that is Lowe write the last missive at the Club's AGM himself?

Gordon Mockles Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Actually I think there's fun and games in progress at WH Ireland... probably a bit tied up there just now. As for people who have remained silent - nobody is being quieter than Wilde. I wonder why that is? Someone must have dirt on him, back from the Hone time & Lowe also being informed of antics & sticking his nose in around that time, or club social events, eh Michael?!...there must be something. No sane man could endure their reputation trawled through the sewers (rightly) and still lie on his back, mute. Could they? Wilde's hollow words and entirely flawed & failed manifesto and total lack of competency ends in him standing down as Chair - No proper explanation. Wilde's pushed out by his own bunch of self-serving t*sser execs - Wilde says nothing. A public letter from Mary Corbett asking Wilde to respond - cowering in the shadows as usual. Wilde's unenviable track record of failure, his lack of backbone and ability to speak out & explain is constantly bounded around the forum, he reads many comments under 2 user names we know of....Errrrrrrrrr, 5 comments (not of much worth!) http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=13152#post13152 (he even thought this season would have "highs" and they "deserved the support..." *chokes* Wilde has been on record as openly dislking Lowe (who doesn't!) yet comes back as Rupert's powerless puppet, then embarks on the Lowe/Wilde 2009 demolition campaign of Southampton Football club (and all associated companie) - STILL MUTE! SLH goes into administration, both Lowe and Wilde run with their tails between their legs (bar the odd "it's not my fault!" squinny from Lowe) into the wilderness - VERY LITTLE INFORMATION. Why is that? Either Mike Wilde has no back bone at all, or someone has some serious dirt on him as the fans certainly deserve an explanation. Certainly, if I was one of the 2 main catalysts for the almost total destruction of Southampton Football Club (and a large portion of the fan base were baying for my blood), I'd at least try and clear my name or make something more than an inane comment or two on a fan's internet forum. I'd speak out and explain myself...Then again, I have a pair of t*sticles! [-X Spinless, divisive (certainly his counter-part) and entirely incompetent.
