Fuck that, it sounds like far too much work. You're both cunts now shut the fuck up

Its definitely £1500, not sure why they've released the posters (which I believe are Chronicle produced) when they're clearly wrong.

replace 4 years with 2 and add the words "paid out from club income" on the end and you'd be near the mark.

happy belated ones guvnah!

There should be snippets of things being released over the next few days. The full financial package info is having the last few tweaks applied and will be released once the solicitors have rubber stamped it, few days at least though before that appears.

wahey, welcome aboard now get out there and sell a kidney to buy a full stake Easy up Pud, just by his username, you know he must be in a bit of a Jam Thats fair enough but if he comes out to play then theres a price to pay.

go on then. just can't recall him on Tyne tees or look north when it all kicked off originlly. Maybe he did and I just missed it. (yes it's a damn slow night in taxi land) Hes just buggered his chances of being manager if Moat should miraculously find the money based on Moats contradictory statement

Turns out our old friend Mr Moat is now keen to buy the club again Remarkable, as soon as theres interest from someone, Ashley finds other buyers.

Ahhhh good old SSN, didnt bother asking him what the fuck he was doing while he was supposedly buying the club but now they'll go talk to him about stadium naming rights. Fuck me I hate them bastards.

Mark Jensen and Lisa Bullivant from the Trust are in a phone in on Radio Newcastle now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlive/bbc_radio_newcastle/

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? See my post above, I'll find out exactly whats what (and of course it will all be fully documented when the finance stuff comes out). As I said, I cant see how its possible to stop people buying shares for other people and then influencing their vote, no matter what, thats possible. What it does do though is stop any one individual saying "I have x% of the shares therefore I want .......". They can try and influence the decision however unlike a share options where there are say 10m individual shares and you know you own 6m of them therefore 60% of the vote, in this case you wouldnt have a clue how many others were out there, you could technically buy yourself 10,000 shares thinking it would give you the Presidency however there could be another 20k people voting for your rival, he himself may have bought 10,001 shares! If you owned your share plus one with work and a bit in here then you're only guaranteed to get one vote going the way you want. The other two could go the opposite way. I think those big names that put in millions for their vote already have an advantage come election time (should they want to go for it), pointing out that they love the club enough to invest £10m has to be a canny vote winner.

I see no reason why I cant own my investment and be part of one here, one at work, one down the pub etc. What you were getting at would be people starting their own for the purposes of gaining votes, thats never stoppable though, if we said you couldnt be part of others then they would just buy the share in son, wife, auntie Vera, fathers names etc they wouldnt need to be down as a syndicate with them. Buy them in those names and get them to vote how he wants. I dont believe that when an organisation such as this buys a share the finance people will ask for the names of all involved. I'll check it out to be sure though. I would imagine however that we'll need some written agreement in the same way that syndicates for the lottery are supposed to have.

Id also be shagging Angelina Jolie if I looked like Brad Pitt, talked like Brad Pitt and was called Brad fucking Pitt.

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?

The purchase price is *allegedly* the full price, no debt, Im not sure however if that includes the Overdraft. The President and board make the decisions, this is no Ebsfleet, we vote in a President and board and they run the club, they deal regularly with the fans, proper fans forums, regular contact with the Trust, that sort of thing. The fans also have the ability to remove a President if things arent going right. As Ive said before though, thats not an easy process otherwise we'd have President changeovers just because we lose 3 games. Something like 25% of the membership would have to back any request to hold a new election before its put to the vote. No, your investment is your investment, after that its down to running the club on a sound financial footing and any new investors joining. No, the board is the board they dont report to some financials eleswhere, one of the Presidents 3 on the board would be a Finance Director.

"we ransacked the City at the end of the day didnt we" Im assuming the kid in the burberry cap had a booster seat in the van. Berbry, Purada we wear it all.

how about we have one investment, people can pay what they like but they get one vote per pound? so those of us putting in £150 get 5 times as much say as those putting in £30. If you dont want to get outvoted then put more in!

Here Noelie, when was the last time you came over the UK? We're not going to get it in Guineas are we?

wanna bet?

There is no denying, no matter how much I mistrust the bloke that he will be making a loss on this. The scale of that loss however when you take everything into account such as free advertising for SD etc is not so easy to calculate, as HF says.

Just to keep you all informed, we have been already been contacted for talks with Ashley and Llambias. Because its not the time to be doing it and we need to be sure of how likely this is going to be (plus the fact that we want everything to be done above board and open, which they didnt want at this stage) we have declined the offer for now, asking them to hold off for a while. People may think thats a wrong decision however we feel its right, just as we havent issued all the information to everyone yet it would be daft to start negotiating and showing our hand without ensuring those we are looking to buy into this (ie yourselves) are fully happy with the plan. Lets not raise false hopes and dawns without being sure of things.

You can cum on my tits for a tenner. Fuck me, is there any thread you lot wont bring down?
