NUST unveil glittering array of major business players.

NUST Spokesman, Mark Jensen.

NUST Spokesman, Mark Jensen.

The Newcastle United Supporter’s Trust have today named the financial advisors who will guide them in their battle to oust current owner, Mike Ashley from the club.

First cab off the rank is the Delphi Partnership. They are a corporate finance business based in London, but they have strong North East connections through partner, John Sands, a former North East “Executive of the Year”, and neighbour of former Toon owner, Sir John Hall.

The second company to be unveiled is Whickham firm, the HRC Group, a financial management company. They will work with the NUST on compliance issues, which have been a major stumbling block for the NUST so far.

It was also announced that Leeds accountants, Hentons, have been working with the trust in an advisory role. NUST also announced that the Trust have also been working with a “leading Newcastle legal firm”, however their idendity is been kept a closely guarded secret at this stage.

On the grand unveiling, NUST spokesman, Mark Jensen said:

“Our partners have a proven track record in providing the very best advice and we will be announcing further partners in the next weeks.

“We’re entering an exciting phase and since the current owners have set out their exit strategy we are keen to speed up our campaign and ensure the legal position is portrayed correctly.

“Having read some comments attributed to the club, we would assure them that we’ve thought about how we develop the club and re-connect it with its community and our plans when finalised will demonstrate that.”

Meanwhile, local newspaper, The Chronic have quoted a “source close to the Trust” as saying:

“We know the fans need to play an integral part in the re-birth of the club and we feel the current playing staff have really performed, including the manager Chris Hughton, but the uncertainty created by Mr Ashley’s commitment to put the club back on the market may destabilise that.

“We want to assure fans, players and the current manager that we back their efforts 100% and we’re confident the fans will consistently amaze the rest of the footballing world with their loyalty.”

Though at the time of writing, Mr Ashley has not made any announcement of a commitment to put the club back on the market after the previous two failed attempts.

Meanwhile, some confusion has also arisen as to whether the NUST’s proposed bid will be for the whole club, or merely part of it. Writing in the Tuesday’s Times, in a piece called “It’s time to end the negativity in the North East” that was also published on the NUST website, North East football writer, George Caulkin announced:

“At some stage, the NUST will seek to purchase a portion of the club from Mike Ashley. For the record, they are well aware that they cannot buy Newcastle outright; the aim is to take a percentage and build from there.”

However the NUST website only mentions that they are seeking full control of the club, and indeed, it is highly doubtful that any part ownership could work after the outspoken statements by the Trust on Ashley’s tenure as owner of Newcastle United, and their stated intention to eventually drive him out of the club completely.

    At least you don’t get those annoying pop-ups every few minutes. Having said that I think there is enough room in this town for both blogs.
    As for NUST they might have improved their odds a little but I still think if they were running in the Grand National they would be something like 500 to 1 or whatever the current odds system is. 50000% ?

    Well I have it on good authority from a source, who can not validate these rumours so take them with a pinch of salt – that Douglas Hall and Freddie Shepherd are behind the scheme. They are to use the fans money to buy the club back – They are using Sands as a front man as Ashley wont sell to them. As I said I can not confirm this personally – just a rumour.

    Aw, come on Stardust – that’s as transparent an attempt at discrediting as I’ve ever seen. Not that it’s needed; NUST have dropped a big enough clanger this week that they don’t need external help.

    On that point, I think the first company NUST need to hire is a PR one. I think their actual plans (i.e. the bits NOT put together by the founders) are likely to be very good. It’s the communications that seem to generally suck hairies.

  35. 35
    avatar Whumpie says:

    Am I alone on here thinking that there is a reasonable chance (I’d say about 1 in 4) that within a couple of years NUST will have a meaningful (i.e. double-figure) shareholding in the club?

    No Toonsy.

    I may be wrong, but I’m guessing that they may be referring to recent speculation in the newspapers that Mike Ashley will sell the club as soon as they are promoted? They refuse to have any contact with Ashley and / or Llambias ATM.

    I’m only speculating again, but the only explanation I can think of is that if Ashley refuses to sell on their terms, they are going to make the fans rise up and declare war on the club until Ashley acceeds to their demands? I can’t think of anything else really.

He is over the moon that NUST have come along and is using them as a deflection. The great thing is, NUST, who im totally behind, and for the life of me, cant understand why the theory doesnt hit home with you lot, other than being dense, they are gathering momentum and i hope they destroy you little shmooks once and for all.

    Thought you would have been out for a pint of Skol lager.
    On the subject of NUST, IMO I can’t see them succeeding in either taking control or even obtaining a seat on the board.They will require somewhere in the region of £300M in order to buy it of Ashley, then they will require additional millions for the running of the club i.e transfers,contracts,development etc.
    No way would Ashley allow them a seat on his board.
    I have nothing personal against NUST but I believe that they are out of their depth and are misleading a lot of folk. Not Stardy though………….lol.

    TonyGreenSupreme,

    Yes, you would be racist. Because it is a racist thing to say. You would have to counter-act it by saying that Mike Ashley is a poor owner because he is English.

    I would say that it is a FACT that Scotland have a history of producing poor keepers, where is that a racist statement?

The Brazil teams rely on their midfield and forwards.

    That Wickywoo is a fecking idiot and anyone humouring him by falling for his intentional winding up by replying to him just adds to the problem.

    “You would have to counteract that by saying Mike Ashley is a poor owner because he is English”.

    That’s all fine and well, but it’s irrelevant considering the fact that they were scottish wasn’t a factor adding to the reason why they were poor, it was just sheer coincidental and the correspondence between all of the goalkeepers was that they were scottish.

    Say if 2 teams went on “The Apprentice” and they were seperated by colour, if the team of black people underperformed consistently, then it would not be considered an unfair or racist statement to say, “The black people are not as good as the white people”. As on the surface that is a red alert to any modern day over PC sensitive cretin, it’s not at all a racist comment as it doesn’t degrade the race of those people, it’s simply noting the feature which differentiates the two teams and eases specifying which team you’re talking about.

    Sorry to rant at such a time (I think i’m still hammered off last night) but if anyone saw that news report on the bloke who could have easily cleared a dangerous road with his tractor, he was told by the council he had to sign something like a 10 point contractual agreement – including having to have something like £5million worth of insurance and only have a certain type of light fitted on the traffic.

    I’d be happy with loan signings at the minute. But the things coming out of Hughton’s mouth ysterday was that were struggling to pay wages for new players.

    We will still need to pay wages for loan players so I’m a little concerned.

    We will definitely be at least one player down and that’s madness, considering were heading into the most important part of the season.

    These players have done really well, but when your legs go and you get tired, there’s nothing they can do and will effect their performance.

    We cannot expect them top play every minute of every game all season.

    I believe in giving people a chance – Is that wrong?

    If we don’t do anything this window and were promoted it will be despite Ashley.

    I’m concerned that our squad is going to be 4 players lighter than it was at the start of the season. Only at NUFC under Ashley could that happen when were chasing promotion.

    It will be a physically impossibility for these players to play every minute of every match for the rest of the season without them getting tired and losing form.

    We need at LEAST the same amount of players we had at the start of the season.
