Yep, agree, a romantic notion, or possibly a rip off.
Fantastic opportunity for a bit of larceny !

deb – I agree. I really hope for the sake of the romantics that will pump their money into this venture, that it does work. I would hate to see people lose their money. However, saying that, you should go into any investment opportunity with your eyes fully open and take proper independent advice from someone who knows what they are doing. Personally I wouldn’t use any of the people the trust are putting forward as IFA’s, I’d take the agreement and run it past someone else, just to ensure complete impartiality. As with all risky investments, always only invest what you can afford to lose. This is a massive gamble. It’s not like putting the money into shares of a blue chip.

Worky and Danny Boy
Good comments. I wouldn’t give them a penny, but worry for those people who out of blind loyalty to the club will stump up the cash.
This just sounds too half baked to get anywhere, and I would hate to see hard working people lose their money when the thing implodes.

I said yesterday Worky, it worries me, there’s an awful lot of exactly what the fans want to hear coming from the NUST camp but nothing concrete in financial terms, we’re talking a lot of money from good honest people with good honest intentions, surely talking to the muppet & his puppet puts the whole thing in the clear light of day right from the outset?

"The Chronicle are suggesting they will turn down the request until they have raised funds for a buy out." If that's the case, Deb, the fans who have put money into the scheme will have risked as much as half a million pounds in 'administration' costs if the deal doesn't come off. If it's true that they refuse to meet for talks to establish the feasibilty of this scheme before they have the 10% 'proof of funds' (which should be 100% anyway), that's wrong and they would be playing fast and loose with the fan's money. I wouldn't put one penny into a Jerry built scheme like this, and as I mentioned in another comment, I still haven't managed to find them on the FSA register.

"that was Micky Worky lol" Didn't I misquote you the other day too, Danny? Apologies, I don't know why I keep doing it with you, I don't seem to do it with anyone else! I've changed it now.

that was Micky Worky lol
you mean you score 4 we’ll score 5 mate?
those were the glory days indeed, the atmosphere amongst the players feels more like those days, relaxed & mostly happy – thats a good thing right now, but I still stand by the complacency thing, keep working hard & enjoying the games, but don’t assume you can stroll past the teams around us

“Most people put it down to us bottling it”

I put it down to Batty changing the shape of team, combined with some tough away games at the end of the season. It wasn’t Batty’s fault, he was a very good defensive mid. It was Keegan’s. He should have carried on ‘entertaining’ in the usual, cavalier fashion.
