Its going to be a podcast as I undetrstand. dunno when like.

Its a fair point. I understand the idea of one member one vote, no matter the value of their investment. But, whats to stop someone buying two "votes" in different names etc? Take me, I might take up my own share, but also be in a TT one, that doesnt mean I get two votes, because I could vote differently to TT, but I could influence a TT vote. Then what if I want to get one with a business partner? Is that classed as another, or if its in the name of the business then does that not count?

This is the problem, as you say its one vote per person/ entity therefore if we have multiple shares then they would need to be in the name of a different person (and by that logic, a person who knows they never want to own a share of their own and without sounding dodgy, isnt going to bugger off one day and cash it in). A toontastic share in its own name will need to be a single share. Maybe we do look to implement just one with differing levels of investment? Id think just one share. We should gain more than than the £1,500 required for a share, but then the objective isnt to buy one share, but to raise as much cash as possible.

Cheers PP. The President elect and board members makes perfect sense. I also think its a point worth re-iterating in various places as I've seen comments (from those who havent bothered to find out) about how the club would fair being ran by a dozen tracksuit clad Geordies who have slashed the price of beer to a quid I assume the first step would be for those interested in being on the board / president to put themselves forward along with their credentials and this would then be sent to all those with a vote. I think we all recognise the need to have a FD on the board.

Just some general questions. If/When the Trust raise enough to buy out Mr Ashley, what then? The club will have its debt, plus running at a loss just to look at before thinking about the purchase of players. In the fan ownership scheme, just how much control is voted on by the fans, who makes the day to day business running decisions? Will there be an annual input of cash required by the fans? Or will it be on the basis of season tickets? I understand there has been input of financial people, will there be a "ring of accountants" who will advise on decisions within the club?

Yep, me also.

Im considering. From my own perspective I need to consider it thoroughly. Of course there are questions to be answered, but to me, writing it off without full consideration is as bad as diving in head first without the same.

Get back in your box

Well swivel on it tosser. You seem to think I'm pissing on dead soldiers, you should work on your comprehension skills. Oh, and I made no reference to the topic at all. Don't be sucha fuckwit. I'm referring to you acting like a twat. For the record, I don't necessarily think they should have worn them.

I walked out. It wasn't really a protest or anything. I just felt as indifferent as several of the players had clearly become that season and thought, fuck it, I'll go to the pub. I suppose everything that's happened since is my fault I honestly cant remember. I'm not a boo'er though. Also most seasons I stay behind on the last game. I do remember one where the players were utterly embarrassed, wsant that season though, or last oddly. I know Bramble was here.

You're allowed more than one sentence in one post you know. Edit : Ps - I think you've taken your point far enough. Far enough to make youirself look a bit of a twat tbf.

Not sure if they mean that he raped the club, either way, I really wish people would think before putting these things together.

Yep, cut it again. Once again the midwife gave me the special "blunt" scissors they reserve for Dads. I liked the extra special touch though. She only clamped the cord on one side giving a nice blood splatter effect

We dont need no Michael Ashley We dont need no board control No dark sarcasm in the boardroom ... Ashley leave that name alone... Hey! Ashley! Leave that name alone... All in all your just a 'nother prick n thats all Better

Absolute cow!! Congratulations hun, delighted for you all. Is Sam being a good big brother? Cheers. find out tomorrow. We've got them small presents off each other etc. not be long before they are trying to stuff them down each others throats no doubt

I've only gone and done it again! My second, now called Joshua, was born at 11.50AM today. The lasses will know how pleased my wife was when I say full labour (from around 6cm) only lasted about 2 hours till birth if that

To the tune of "Go west...." by Pet Shop Boys (Together) We will fly so high (Together) When Ashley says goodbye (Together) We will start life new (Together) This is what we'll do (Sports Direct) It's shit in there (Sports Direct) But Mike doesn't care (Sports Direct) Ashleys aint got a clue (Sports Direct) How to say anything true (ok, Im watching too much x-factor)

KD, your stance seems odd given your avatar and that the smiley is largely associated to Acid House music

Sabotage is a good idea. Rearrange the letters from sportsdirect.com to Scrimped Cost. Rot

Hmm, how about if someone happened to re-arrange the letters during the night? Rot Sceptic Dorms @ St James' Park Scrimped Cost Rot @ St James' Park Predict Cross Tom @ St James' Park Correct Dims Post @ St James' Park

Everytime he comes out with any comments I start to cringe and wish he would just shut the fuck up. Everything he says I just think "fuck off, lying twat". He is full of soundbites and empty promises. Reminds of that shite song by jimmy nail : Llambias says We don't want nobody else, We love this club He's lying There won't be somebody else out the door and that's true He's lying Say you'll always be my friend Toon Army Why does he pretend??? Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see A Chairman like you's no good for me Your heart's not beating here at all I'm a done fool for to ask for more

Not bad

Would never remember it like

That needs to be sung. Fantastic. There's a guy in the place He's got a fat face And he goes by the name of Fat Ashley the dud He got no friends, a bit of a loner, he is the club owner And he'll walse about the place like no other man could He's a cunt, fucking cunt, it will boil your blood Though very much maligned and misunderstood But if you know Mike he's a real crowd teaser He's ever such a cunt, a big fat cockney cunt. You can see that he's mischievious, mysterious and devious When he circulates amongst the people in the place But once you know mike, something of a penis He gives a grin that you want to smack around his face Backwards never forwards, not forwards only backwards Mike is the geezer who loves to fuck things up That's about the time the crowd all shout his name As he's kotcheled in the corner, laughing his fat arse off He's a cunt, he's a cunt a big fat cockney cunt etc
