Seen at least 4 posts from people there saying they felt positive about it happening listening to him talk about it
 
Dont get me wrong, I've been excited by the thought of this particular group of buyers as much as anyone.

But even if it falls through, the fact that they were interested in first place is positive. There will be others, in fact SD has consistently mentioned others.

This whole circus may have even alerted some new higher profile parties as well.

But its probably going to go through ok anyway

Ah gotcha.

The assumption I made was that because Newcastle don’t own their ground, that any company involved would be unable to register their company there.

Whereas we do own our ground, so the current owners/yanks can use our address.

That’s my limited understanding and I could be totally wrong.

Yet Newcastle Utd use the ground as their address on Companies house?

Aye, believe they are accurate quotes.

The other buyers quote has been taken out of context. He mentioned the dell guys on a few occasions. To reiterate - the deal is not complete but should be within a week or two. I think we just need to wait - as someone else said Mr Donald sounded very positive that it will go through, even though he wasnt sure if and where himself and charlie boy would fit in the new set up. I have tried to get more info from a mate who was there but nothing else has come through - he is probably pissed by now.

Interesting.

Point still stands though. Regardless of where the company is registered, be it the SOL or Roker Baths, a company being created is not a cast iron guarantee anything is going to happen.

I imagine it’s done in preparation for potential deal (be it 5-95% likelihood).

Cant see them forming a financial group if it wasn't.

As someone who was there and seems a sensible sort it would be appreciated if you could give a summary of all the important things that were said tonight if it isn’t too much trouble. No worries if not.

I doubt much would surprise many on here.

As I’ve already said he came across really well and is clearly passionate about what he is doing at the club.

Has belief Ross is the right man, he has frustrations as we all do ie performances not as fluid as we may want but after 9 games we are top 6 with a game in hand . Not afraid to make a difficult decision if it comes to that but he doesn’t feel at that stage yet.

MSD people at game gave impression that we were further ahead in discussions than was actually the case. Work ongoing maybe 1/2 weeks. Believes we the fans will be please with what he is pursuing and deal is about the club not him or others. Has asked to stay on as he feel she can add value but should any takeover happen that isn’t his decision.

Genuinely we’ve heard most of the rest of it re scouting set up, Maja, grigg.

Repeating myself here but although no quotes/facts about the takeover I came away feeling positive

Don’t agree with him about the Ross comments mind but encouraging.

The thing is, we were told the same 4 weeks ago mate and then 2 weeks ago. It would have been better had no one actually put a date on it at all. When a date passes, you question why?

If in 2 weeks time, we're told another 2 or 4 weeks, what will you think then? It won't fill you with confidence.

Its illegal to set a company up in another persons name though so we can take some confidence in the fact its actually these blokes who have set it up

Newcastle United Football Company Ltd registered office is St James Park, you don’t have to own the property but you do have to have the lease for it or permission of the owner to use it as a registered office.

Kenyon’s discussions with MSD broke down before a formal offer was ever made for Newcastle, with the private equity firm instead moving on to make a bid for League One Sunderland

I recall a banned member posting a hint on here about a kick in the teeth over 4 weeks ago and I knew what it was at the time also (there's possibly more to this but I won't say as it may come out in time anyway). Unfortunately we can't laugh about it just yet given they haven't taken us over (maybe soon though ;) )

Takeover Rumours

Michael dell and the lads aparantly buzzing after tonight's win :cool:

Imagine if they had got serious with a takeover for the Mags though!


























We'd have no monorail! :eek:
