The other thing is that this has been the aim of the trust since it was set up so what has it being doing since it’s formation and where has the money gone?

At last count they had 13k members (paying £2 a year) so they really need to raise profile.

Easier way is just lobby the govt to enforce fan’s representation/place on the board. The premier league dictates you have to have a fans forum but no rules on outputs or how many times you meet.

Let's imagine for one second that they raise enough to get a stake in the club. It would be something like this at the AGM.

Any other business
NUFC fans - Mbappe?
Chairman - No
NUFC fans - Bring back Rafa
Chairman - No
NUFC fans - This club has NO respect for the fans. This is our club.
Chairman - Err... no it isnt

NUFC fans - Mbappe?
Chairman - Ok, that will be 100m wages, 150m fee. We will put that in for our 99%, will you go back to the NUST members and raise the 1% (2.5m)? Ffs ...it's just taken us 3 years to raise 3m.

=3,724/3,000,000 = 0.12%. I amusing 3m as that is their target.

Ah right, I though you meant buying the club outright as my post originally was talking about buying them, not a stake. I thought that comment was just another example of the 'think they're bigger than they actually are' syndrome. If they bought the club outright for say £3,000,000 as Ashley had enough, where would the 'investment' come from? If they get a 10% share, do they then expect the owner to foot all the running costs of the club or do they just hold share value but don't have a say like I did when I had SAFC shares in the 90's? Some money whizz such as @Grumpy Old Man will know all this of course.

You'll no doubt get the biggest influx initially as their twitter has got over 27K followers and along with numerous other links spreading the word plus also getting media coverage such as Sky etc. This initial interest will fade in time like all money raising ventures but as they're not showing how many people then it won't give an indication of the average donation. That means you can't have a very rough estimate of how many donaters they need to hit their target.

I know I'm knocking it as I certainly can't see them buying the club outright but the class thing is that if it doesn't work then it goes to charities :cool:

If the club ran within it's means then the minority holder wouldn't need to pay anything else. But if a cash injection was required and this was deemed as equity rather than debt, then the minority holder (assuming they don't have the funds) would see their ownership diluted. Albeit, they would hope that the capital injection would add value and so whilst they would have a smaller holding (in %) the value may be bigger. "We" as in English teams should have been doing this back in the 80's/90's pre-boom but now values are sky high I fear it is too late.

Also, is NUST a charity? If so, may get individuals donating as a tax break.

If I can read up on it, then surely you as a Mag can.

Firstly, this is nowt to do with Ashley is it? It’s if a sale goes through they want to have representation on the board, even just 1%. Secondly, it appears that it won’t be decided by a load of people shouting on social media but by a democratic vote by trust members where the majority wins. The only way these things work is with a supporters trust or club.

It’s all about having a voice on the board - all clubs should have that tbh.

1% wouldn't even get you a seat on the board. We have 3 people with share percentages much higher than that and none of them are on the board.
