It seems to me that there is no opportunity for the younger or poorer supporters to get a foot in the door, unless they club up with like minded souls, which kind of does away with the one-fan, one-vote idea. Now I'm not particularly genned up on all things financial, unlike some of our other posters obviously are, but assuming that we do get to the situation where enough money is raised to complete the take over, are we not left with a situation where a small number of 'co-owners' are able to wheel and deal their shares among themselves until such time that the club is eventually owned by a minority of wealthy 'fans'? I also wonder what will happen if the thing is over-subscribed. I believe somewhere it said your share/investment gave you entitlement to purchase a season ticket. What if we get 200000 investors and they all want their season ticket. The ground is not big enough for them, never mind me and you?

Meh. Instead of hurling abuse why not tell me why trade unions are stil valid? I don't see what my comment have to do with where I come from or the conservatives, so please educate.

Worky@56. the NUST’s registration number as shown on its site is 30721R.

“being responsible for the most part for the firing of even Bobby Robson.”

Joe Harvey. Eight years as a player, 13 as a manager, 4 major trophies. A cup defeat to Hereford and a disappointing showing in the League and it was “Harvey Oot!”. He resigned and Newcastle haven’t won a proper cup since.

A fecking recipe for disaster. Intransigence ? Not really, just look back over the years following KK`s original bailout, off the top of your head "quickly"can you give the number of managers we have had from that period until the present, or name them ? That whitesheet brigade certainly played a major role in creating the instability that has permeated this club, being responsible for the most part for the firing of even Bobby Robson. And you are in favor of these same people both owning and running the club, are you mad ? C`mon Clint, ya really want the white bedsheet brigade running things ?

I'm not. But anyhoo, ok, let's not do it then cos there's obviously no point verses such ingrained intransigence & anyway, 'we're only little'.
