Would the fans buy this club???

by Blue_Elm » 14 Dec 2009 12:39

Have we got the nouse to buy the club from Madejski and how would we go about it??? Would we as a fanbase be any good for the club. Other sides have done it, so is it really an option that the fans will eventually all get together and buy the club for the community.

It's hard enough buying a season ticket, these days.

no the fans haven't got a pot to p*ss in. :D

i do think that the chairman needs to be realistic about his asking price for the club, which currently is probably way off the mark.

if newcastle are worth 100 million
then we are worth 50
at the very most
and at that price that would see JM recoup the money hes owed, and a small profit

80 M is mental- based on where we are, just mental
even last year it was pushing it-hence the fact no one bought us

You complain that Madejski isn't investing money so you suggest a group of fans try and buy the club. How on earth is that going to fund the investement that you think should be made?

Clueless.

LOL


"right , whip round time- januarys coming, & i know its a tight time for everyone at the minute, but these wages dont pay themselves, and we are in serious need of a RB, Winger, and a decent striker, or we could go down.
id say £50 K each should just cover it- what does everyone reckon?.................
hello?........... where the oxf*rd did everyone go?"

That is a totally ridiculous suggestion.

Even if he said he would sell it to the fans for £30m how many would buy?

The 15,000 regular attendees? £2000.00 each?

The club would fall flat on it's face within months. Have you not seen the knee-jerk reactions on here when we win / lose? :lol:

That would be hilarious, new manager every other week, players being sold left right and centre. :lol:

I'm just dumbfounded you would even think a 16,000 strong fanbase could raise the millions to not only buy the club, but then support it's wage structure and future signings. People here never cease to amaze me.

We've got the nous and the legal structure, but not the money. The asking price for such a small fanbase is totally unreachable.

For how it works at a club where it is more achiveable, see the Newcastle's Trust's "Yes We Can" campaign : http://www.nust.org.uk/
