Nice one PP. It shouldn't be an issue that NUSC started as a protest group or whatnot, it's how many representative bodies come into being. IMO it will grow and flourish and I can see it having a place on the board and maybe one day a financial stake.

You might if you were a Tory. You are a Newcastle fan. s*** analogy. James is only making an observation, and it’s a valid one if true. Why should he contact NUSC instead of posting on here? No obligation to do anything, but I don't understand why it would be better to do it this way. NUSC are easily contactable and (as far as I can tell) actively seeking to include the view of as many fans as possible. Why not try and make it better? Correct.

He's shite mate. You heard it here first. I'm sure I heard it about 45 pages back tbh. Rather have Milner.

I know there's no sub keeper btw... With or without KK? [/strikeone]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supporters_trust Whats the gist of it? In British sports, a Supporters' Trust is a formal, democratic and not-for-profit organisation of fans who attempt to strengthen their influence over the running of the club they support. Nice.

But we won and we scored three goals! Yeah but we didn't invent goals!!111

I think we are close.

The correct answer is.... he loses credibilty by stating Ashley has us on a stable footing. Christ, I miss out the word 'financial' and look what happens...the Shepherd apologists out in force (not aimed at you Cp40, I know you're just a Keegan fan) Does thinking MA is a clueless c*** immediately make one a Shep apologist? Explain...... Ashley cant be defended on his record, so comparing him to his predecessor is the only way of avoiding saying I got it wrong. I was blaming Keegan and Shepherd and people with cockney mafia out banners for our problems, when it was down to Ashley all along. Pretty much everyone must realise by now what a catastrophic dimwit Ashley is. as regards nufc ...yes does it mean fred left us on the up or in the s*** ? When MA took over he had access to capital within the region of at least 700m to 1bl. How the f*** did he manage to get us relegated? because he didn't want to spend all his money on the football club. much like you and I. He needed to spend £20m to safeguard the club and save £100m. He didn't because he's a stupid c*** and us in the Championship is testament to the fact. not so sure about that..............i 'm not sure giving kinnear 20mill would have saved us. ...and WHO hired Kinnear?

What's spot on about it? Because it is a reasoned post with sensible thinking. Like how?

Christ, I miss out the word 'financial' and look what happens...the Shepherd apologists out in force (not aimed at you Cp40, I know you're just a Keegan fan) There's absolutely nothing 'financially stable' about being relegated with our wage bill. If his gamble had paid off and we'd managed to stay up you might have had a case. Disagree entirely, we were staring down financial suicide under Shepherd, the guy had totally misread the economic climate (ok, he wasn't the only one) but it's not as though he'd given the club any financial cushion with which to manouvere. We'll never be able to prove this as (thankfully, IMO) Ashley came along and bailed Shepherd out. For all the paper talk of Shepherd feeling 'betrayed' and 'forced out' - Ashley's done more for his reputation in the NE than Shepherd ever could have. EDIT: As for relegation...the last 12 months have been a shambles tbh, no-one is without blame, no-one escapes the shithole that was 2008-09, including me! How is running a debt widely reported around 70m with a turnover of 100m financial suicide? If that kind of gearing was the norm half of the businesses in London would be in trouble. what was the operating profit from the turnover ? It's not about profit and very few football clubs make a profit as you well know, it's about competing (or getting relegated) and for that there has to be debt structuring or you might as well stay in CCC forever. do you agree that you can only pile up debt for so long before the lenders get jittery and don't give you anymore ? HOw the f*** do you think capitalism survives? ha ha... not really an answer to my question though is it ? It's not the ans to your piddling little question, I admit. It's the ans to the world and everything in it. Happy? if it's the answer why do companies go under ? why not just borrow more ? That's what Marx wanted to know.

Why hasn't he gone yet?

what if the people before you got all the funds ? You'd probably walk away and sue the club for false promises. i'd still like it to go to court to find out. Et moi.

Nobody will give a direct ans to that.

Probably cause it's all going on in London (if anything).

I guess you're using the term 'bidders' lightly.
