Right about what? I want nothing to do with your protest. The easiest way to get change at the club is to buy the shares that control it. It's that simple.   and where does that get you exactly Nutty? laughed at by those "considerabley richer than you" who are sat on on their thrones at the head of our directionless mob??? Just because you father or whoever it was donated some shares to you all those years ago which have allowed you to have no say in the way our club goes about it's business, do not try to make purchasing a few shares the almighty answer to our prayers.... unless you know of somebody "considerably richer" willing to invest that is???

Anybody got any conclusive answers on this one??? I would of thought that they could just choose to ignore it, but it would certainly start to make life very uncomfortable for them indeed should they choose to do so.

As for buying the shares that control the club if i may say that is a ridiculously simplistic view for us mere mortals to embark on do you not think? It appears billionaires are hesitant so that course of action is pie in the sky for us fans.   Yes Tilly it is a ridiculously simplistic view for us mortals to embark on. But then so is trying to hound those who own the shares out of the club. Yes billionaires are hesitant which is my whole point. Embarking on a crusade to make life so uncomfortable for our poor millionaires that they walk, as has been suggested on here, is rather foolhardy when we don't even have any other poor millionaires to replace them. So maybe the way forward would be to put pressure on those hesitant billionaires to buy the shares that control the club and in the mean time show a little support to the poor millionaires who have shown much more commitment to our club, financial and emotional, than most of those who "banter" on here.   Big Up to DIXMAR RACING who sponsor the Pink 'n Posters Picks!

As for the club finances some of us have been posting here and on the WOTB. for some time about the clubs fixation with spending on Tangible Fixed Assets rather than the squad or getting the debt down. Even last season they spent £1060k on Tangible Fixed Assets (per note 12, page 23 of the NCFC. Plc. Annual Report for the year ended 31st May 2008). The club has had millions (in excess of £10m.) that could have been directed towards the squad but has been spent on non entertaining fixed assets. IT's TIME FOR NCISA. TO RALLY THE SUPPORTERS (like the meeting at St. Andrews) AND ORGANISE PROTEST MARCHES BEFORE THE JANUARY WINDOW. THE NCFC BOARD MUST GO!      Where are the good experienced strikers? ---------------------------------------- Stagnation/decline with Delia's NCFC.    Report

Oh they want to sell at £30 a share? No wonder a deal hasn't been concluded. In essence the club has gone nowhere from a decade ago, if this was not a football club I would expect a rescue funding to be at a discount and a deep discount at that given the current economic circumstances.     Where are the good experienced strikers? ---------------------------------------- Stagnation/decline with Delia's NCFC.    Report

Frying pan...Fire. ( I thought the old lad hard done by!!) Also how do you know they want £30 a share. That figure was quoted in general terms. They may settle for a lot less. Lets say 4/5 million for the money etc they have invested. That would seem right to me. PERHAPS this is all happening now. The past is only a reflection of our own time    Report
