STM Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Not getting too excited by this, staveley had one set up too. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/amanda-staveley-sets-up-new-14106830 It actually says unrelated to NUFC, in that article.

jonny1403 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 As a lawyer in this area: - It's impossible for that company to be fake. It is possible for it to be fraudulently incorporated but you'd need a lot of personal information about the two directors, and would need to fraudulently impersonate Pinsent Masons, the law firm that has submitted the documents. The company is using PM's own, bespoke articles rather than the model articles, so any fraudster would need to have somehow obtained these as well. In short, it's real. - The two directors are not directors of any other UK company, so whatever they are involved with is something new to them and not run of the mill. - Companies established to acquire assets are often done so one or two days before completion of a deal. In other cases, they are established to ensure they have secured the name they want and then left on file for months while the deal is completed. - It is common for businesses to have more than one law firm acting for them in the M&A sphere, often on different deals. I know that MA has used different law firms in the past. It could well be that Pinsent Masons are acting as UK counsel for the buyer, not the seller. They would need UK lawyers themselves regardless.
