Keefaz Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I can't imagine the likes of Shepherd or Moat wanting in this - they'll want more control for investing more cash. 1+1 isn't something they would be interested in. The more and more I think about it, I 'could' invest some of my pension from my days when I worked at the Uni. I'd have to check it out with the wife first, however. If, for example, Barry Moat puts in £60m: will he have the controlling vote? I know it's an extreme example. No, not under the way it's structured (as I understand it) You and I could put in £1500 each and have more say in theory. Well, these are my thoughts exactly. Is it not more likely that the NUST will push for a split of, say, 60% NUST and the remainder to be covered by a large investor? To my mind, it's more realistic.

NG32 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 how much are they looking for off each investor? Think its a minimum of 1.5k £1500 is achievable at £10 a piece on the forum. we should be looking to buy a few shares. I like that idea actually. Maybe we could start a thread similar to the donations thread? ooops forgot to donate to this board, dave!!! where do I go to donate. Aye, i think N-O investing could be intersting.

Keefaz Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Isn't the German model that no-one person/organisation can own more than 49% of the the club (with the other 51% being fan controlled)? I think Hamburg are ran in such a way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 What woud we rather be as a club, owned by some faceless coporate types who use the club as a vehicle for advertising and making money or a club thats intension is to play football and help the community around it. Can we run trials in July for local lads to earn a spot on the playing squad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only to an extent though. It depends which decisions will be made by shareholders and which will be made by the elected board. Once the board is in place it's probable that the majority of the decisions will be made by them, so if Moat takes a place on the board obviously his say increases over yours and mine.
