cp40 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Regarding the Barry Moat takeover bid, he never had anywhere near the amount of money required to buy the club for £80m or £100m. My Dad was a financial advisor and was contacted by Barry Moat's team to essentially try and arrange a huge loan so that he could pay Ashley's asking price. For the club to say that the asking price was met was complete nonsense, at no stage could Moat prove that he had the funds or would ever be able to raise the funds. He was essentially a relatively wealthy fan but had nowhere near that amount of money. Oh, and the Moat business plan (called 'Project Magpie' ) was to sell all of our most valuable players, which included Coloccini, Gutierrez and Enrique. They were costed in to the revenue the club would generate in that Championship season. So it was probably for the best he couldn't raise the funds, seeing as they all played a massive part in us coming back up. Moat was never gonna make it happen and that is why I moved on from him as a partner and tried to go it alone. I was making progress twards raising the funds (almost $20K) when MA pulled the team off the market. The funds are in escrow should the opportunity arise for me to bid again. I'm confused. You had 20k sitting there and this indicated you were on your way to matching Ashley's asking price? Please tell me someone else is gonna jump on this too. I've got £20k sat in the bank too, can I join in? My 20k, your 20k, his 20k, we're so close to our goal. would that run the club for 1 day? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on man, there's more than 3 of us, despite the username consortium of one. Oh wait, his are dollars. What's that these days, about £15k? That's all I'm putting in then.

You had 20k sitting there and this indicated you were on your way to matching Ashley's asking price? Aye, keep knocking those striving for change. If you don't think it's enough, get involved and join the consortium. Any extra funds will be allocated towards players wages. I'm not 'knocking' anything. I've donated to the couple of change campaigns we've had organized by fans for NUFC, so don't give me that BS about not putting my money where my mouth is. I just think if you want to bring about real change, we need a little more to go on than "here's 20k." I wasn't being insulting to the lad, just that we need to be a lot more realistic.

cp40 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 the numbers are just too big for fans collectives iMO. whats probably needed is a fans Jimmy Hoffa type character. Uniting them all and standing up to Ashley. No doubt his businesses would be shit scared of unions. trouble is theres too many differing factions and expectations among the support for unity. AO were sort of trying to this, and did exert some sort of influence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
