Crumpy Gunt Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The integral part of FANS 410 plan for the takeover of NUFC. Could be the Barcelona style takeover they are talking about. Could give Shearer £25M+ per season to spend. You'de also get a dividend and season ticket on the invested funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Should have said I heard about this last week but kept it quiet coz I'd been asked to, but Roberts has just given the full explanation on Sky Sports about 10 minutes ago. He's on there now still. He'll be at SJP today and claims he's full support of supporters groups etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The only way you'll get me to give my money to NUFC is if you pry it out of my dead hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 No way. Who is this Roberts bloke, btw? What is it about the state of NUFC that drags mentalists to associate themselves along with it in the name of free publicity? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The more I think about this... Fucking hell it's heart wrenching enough to watch Newcastle plummet anyway, imagine if it had the added bonus of "Fucking hell, there goes my pension money." On the plus side, it would be one of the few pension pots not to be effected by the pensions crisis, seeing as none of us would get past 60 before an inevitable heart attack.

On the plus side, it would be one of the few pension pots not to be effected by the pensions crisis, seeing as none of us would get past 60 before an inevitable heart attack. My understanding is that money that is put forward will not just disappear. It will be invested collectively to give a return, which is the £25m+ per season Roberts reckons would be to spend. Although I'm fully agreed it is closer to pie in the sky than actual reality it would still be interesting to see the ins and outs of how it might all work. It doesn't just need to be pension funds. Quick edit, Does anyone have an idea of the way that Barcelona is actually ran (as this appears to be Roberts ideal scenario) I can say I know fuck all about it other than the supporters elect a president.

BlueStar Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 My concern would be that in the current climate there's no such thing as a definite return on anything. I'm not even too sure I trust Prudential to invest my pension stuff without things going horribly wrong, so they'd have to do a lot to convince me it'd be in good hands.
