your manager comes to you and say "if we can squeeze an extra half a million out and extra 10grand a week wages we can get this player who could seal us promotion" you can't keep out of it man. Tbh, I'm not sure what a president does. That sounds like chairman's job.

Surely he'll be insured for a few bob?

Well, I wouldn't get involved in the transfer side: that's for fucking sure. All you can do in terms of the team is appoint the right people, give them the best tools to work with, and hope for the best.

GM, ain't it?

What's the connection? Both dead.

Piss off.

No offence here but you're trying to find fault with this and using the lack of in depth information on day 1 to beat us with. As I said earlier, weve issued the important information to let people see what is involved and what sort of figures we're talking about. Nobody is asking anyone to part with cash at this stage all we've asked for is the name, email and Date of Birth of those that are interested, you dont even have to commit that much at this stage. In return we've stated that we'll send additional information out to those interested so they can see whats what. No doubt we'll be putting that info into the public domain as well but frankly coming across with the whole "this is meant to be a new era of openness and accountability" is a bit crap tbh. We're the only people talking because its day 1, lets see what happens in days 2, 3, 4....14...30..etc before ripping us apart eh? Why don't you publish the 'additional information' now? What is it that's so secret? They have to release it in stages or it might blow...your...MIND!

check the thread we were talking about clubbing together to buy NO shares for those who havent got 1500. £10 each was suggested. Aye, I saw, don't really fancy chipping in with others though. At least not random forumers, no offence intended btw. oh im offended alright, your basically saying i couldnt be trusted to share a £10 investment. Told you we shouldn't have invited her.

Ignoring the 300 jokes I've just thought of, I'll just say: RIP.

4 pages! Hall of famer, tbh.

Bet Sting could put in a bob or two.

Why Nicky Butt? Having read interviews with him, it never sounds like he has any great love for the game, tbh.

James Milner. England manager by 2030.

What?

Yes, please.

Dean Ashton?

What 'return' are you referring to?

This is what happened at Notts County, isn't it? The trust took a vote and flogged the club to a Middle East lot. Was it sold at a profit, if so any idea what happened to the surplus/profit - did the trust/shareholders trouser it ? That would make it a more attractive proposition for anyone thinking investing pension money etc. Not sure on the details, but I imagine this model is what NUST are looking at. However, the trust at Notts only owned 60% of the club, I believe, and I wonder if this is not the route that NUST would go down, with Moat (or whoever) stumping up the rest of the dough.

Not that 10 shares would be any use at all, like. Be it'd be good fun!

No it's 1 vote per person no matter how much they invest Is it? then it wouldnt be worth the forum clubbing together, wed be better off buying ourselves, or for example 2 or 3 people clubbing together to raise 1500. Er no, We all chip in then vote on a rep. That rep then votes on what gets agreed here. That person attends the meetings etc. yeah with 1 vote. instead of dozens if we invest individually. I thought the idea would be: we all chip in and get, say £15k, thus allowing us 10 individual shares, n'est pas? We can have 10 individuals to lodge these stakes, if needs be, to satisfy NUST's criteria. However, we vote collectively (and votes could be weighed against monies invested, so cp40 would get 1000 votes, and I'd get 1) and the majority decision is carried through: i.e. all 10 votes are cast accordingly.

But then you would be individuals. The advantage of the forum is that we could have a collection of 20 votes that vote one way.

Anyway. About the N-O consortium ()--would there have to be equal donations? For example, cp40 puts in £5k and I chip in with a fiver, would we get equal say?

Anyway. Would they accept that? Surely, if that were the case the likes of Moat (or whoever) could stump up £50m and wangle it through 'individuals' and buy control of the club?
