FORMER Saints chairman Rupert Lowe has made his move to take back control of the club by demanding an extraordinary general meeting.

Together with Saints' biggest individual shareholder Michael Wilde, Mr Lowe is calling for current Saints chairman Leon Crouch to go, along with other top directors Patrick Trant, Keith Wiseman and Lee Hoos.

Wilde and Lowe are calling for a seat on the board each along with a seat for former Saints managing director Andrew Cowan, a long-time colleague of Lowe's.

No date has been given for the meeting which is unlikely to take place before the end of the season, if it takes place at all.

Wilde and Lowe together own 22 per cent of the club and speak for a further 20 per cent of the shares, giving them a decisive say at any meeting, which current directors may decide not to contest.

Notice of the EGM was given to the stock exchange this morning
