Stifler Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Anyone have any clue who's in 'The Omani group' or what they do? It looks like they are a building, construction, developement and also a holiday comapny based in the Dubia or some sort. The leader is a man called Hanif Shaikh.

Because it's only us Geordies who know where it's from, noone else actually knows it from here. Also how can they boycott it, would be rather pointless since research shows that most mackems shop in Newcastle, over 60%, where as only 9% of them shop in Sunderland, I think 30% shop in the Metro Centre.

Guest fraser Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The money I raised to buy the club before Ashley pulled it off the market was put into escrow. Having collected some interest since then, I now have $2,134.66. I have drafted a new letter of intent and have sent it to Seymour Pierce post haste. I await acknowledgement before I commence negotiations. We need to talk. I have a modest endowment policy due to mature any day now and that's another £3kish. Also I have received interesting emails from a Nigerian Prince.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I am putting a bid in. Loca paper the consett and stanley advertiser says "Local miserable git and tightarse nomark Ian Jackson is bidding for control of Newcastle United, He is currently canvassing the comittee of Consett staion club to put the last of the finance in place" I was thinking about it this morning. Looked down the back of the sofa for loose change and everything, but found I was sadly just short of the funds required to take over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
