You can't convince a confirmed doughnut. Just take him to the edge of the flat earth and tell him to take a jump ino space. :O

I know I am a fool for trying Bill but sometimes you just have to try
Hes an idiot and that's being polite.Its a forum fair enough,he is entitled to his opinion fair enough.He just needs to let others have their opinion and their view instead of asking for proof and even then when it is shown not believing facts.I honestly dont know why people bother with him,he doesn't want debate he wants an argument.There is a difference.
C'money boys, we all know Wilf doesn't deal in facts.
To take over Newcastle he set up st James holdings limited.
I have no clue about nufcdirect at that time or before. It says very little.
By all means argue it and go with it but for him to buy the shares he had to set up his company to get them.
The point stands out a mile and Sir John Hall makes it quite clear. The club was in dire trouble and there's no getting away from it.
The club is in zero trouble as it stands.
Jesus H Christ. He registered NUFCDIRECT 6 months before he allegedly heard we were up for sale on the saturday and he moved in to buy us on the monday. The fact he registered Nufcdirect 6 months before shows that it was not a spur of the moment deal. The NUFCDIRECT had nothing to do with buying shares but was set up to redirect anyone buying from the club site to sports direct.So people thinking they were buying from the club were actually buying from his tat shop. He was lying about not having time to do due diligence as he had planned to buy us for at least 6 months. He lied then and has continued the lie. The debt he claimed he did not know about was there for all to see. If you could not see it in 6 months you deserve to be lumbered with it. He has used the "no time for due diligence" as an excuse to lumber the club with an increased (debt) loan to claim tax relief.
Is that simple enough for you
He initially bought John Hall's shares.
Listen to what John Hall said.
If Ashley had this NUFC domain thing then John Hall has to be lying through his teeth.
Do you think John Hall was lying through his teeth?
What's clear is the St James holdings in May 2007.
What's not clear is the NUFCdirect stuff being registered in 2006.
There's little on it.
The club was in a mess. Hall knew it and so did Shepherd.
Nobody appeared to want to bail the club out and Ashley stepped in...and this is the crux of the matter regardless of domain nitpicking.
It is simple enough but it won't be made to look simple enough. We all know the procedure by now.:zzz:
