Nust....

i wasn't far off with my prediction yesterday mate,

they want a "go fund me" type of thing where the fans buy the club.

if they get enough money raised they buy from Ashley.

If we get relegated, they buy off Ashley for a reduced price.


problem is, he wont lower his price, and i don't think he'd sell anyway other than to Saudi's, they are the only ones who can line his pockets more in the future with his tatty SD ****

Rio Ferdinand will be laughing like fo0k, he was taunting us with this suggestion, we look like tlts by trying to take his idea seriously

they were also on about trying to buy a stake in the club, when its sold to someone else. thats much more feasible.

is it a good idea - in principle but whether it works in practice is another thing coming.

deluded? maybe but at least they are trying

Nothing to do with that tw*t Ferdinand as it’s been being planned for 3 years now.
Good to see someone actually taking some positive action for a change instead of whinging and doing nothing (me included).

If the fund eventually buys part of the club, who would own the shares?
If my contribution was converted into a shareholding eventually then I’d be interested in taking part.

its a pipe dream in my eyes. Not being negative at all just realistic, how many other clubs in the PL have been bought by the fans or have the fans as minority stakeholders holders
Im sure Sir John Hall tried a similar scheme which failed miserably.

The two glaring obstacles to this plan is

1) Ashley needs to sell the club first!!
2) new owners may not want any involvement from fans as financial partners/shareholders

say this does happen, we get new owners and they allow the fans to buy a small stake, say 1%, they will need to raise 3.5million to get 1%.

what will that bring? the majority of shares would be held by the new owners so the fans still would be dwarfed in any voting etc, they will have zero say that would impact any decision

it is possible that the NUST have already held talks formal/informal and come to some agreement already.

some questions answered hope this will open for everyone ps theres £8000 or so been pledged so far with the amount rising every second

i'm not so sure you get any return on your money - no mention of any was mentioned and shares were talked about briefly as in - no shares.

ive a feeling that it would be put your money in and any profits etc stay in ?????

possibly shares at some point later - someone would have to keep an accurate account of who paid what - not an easy job.

they talk about regular payments of anything from £1 upwards.
at least they aren't asking for sums of money that people (ordinary people) couldn't possibly lay their hands on or could afford, so thats a plus. I think the minus is that there's not really anything definitive its just hoy your cash in, if it doesn't work out that cash will go to north east charities.
