Next month MG Rover is set to give 35% of its shares to employees and 25% to dealers, to encourage stability. Mr Towers, and the other three founders of Phoenix, would share the remaining 40%.
Mr Howe's comments came as BMW rejected MG Rover's plea for additional funding. Failing sales, a weakened euro and lower residuals have hit the value of the 50,000 cars Rover inherited from BMW.
Mr Towers has also reportedly faced boardroom unrest over his production targets. He denied that some non-executives wanted to scale down plans to make 200,000 cars a year at Longbridge.
