    I have actually put a bit of thought into this. Agree that 500million is overpriced but it would generate an initial pool for first season transfers and costs. I would expect Ashley would empty club coffers - its normal practice. He spent UKP134million and assumed UKP121million of debt so 255million covers his cost. I reckon he would listen seriously to an offer of 350-370million which would leave 130million as a cash float for Year 1. Remember we would be giving away all the basic ticket revenue which is around 20-23million of last years 27.8million matchday turnover but could recoup some of this in increased advertising (say 5million).
    We would put in a fans charter that says we would invest a minimum of 80% of any profit from the previous year into player purchases and incentive bonuses and remaining 20% into a dividend to the shareholders. However player incentive bonuses and shareholder dividend would disappear if club finished below 10th in previous season. If we made a profit of 30million that would give a bonus of 120quid per season. The lifelong free entry could be passed onto family members on death so actually it would be quite an attractive deal. Under new TV deal I reckon a club doesn't actually need the basic ticket revenue. There would be some income from hospitality suites and other match-day income (refreshments etc).
    Key risks are obviously relegation or more catastrophically an eventual collapse of the Sky/BT Deals.

    If you cant afford it your other option will be to pay in kind by working in the Hospitality Suites. That way we can save money on some of the temp staff currently hired for this. It would mean missing about 100 home games and having to serve the Surprised Pervert his Prawn Sandwiches. If you want to watch the game you can be a steward instead.
    Alternatively you can run the NUFC.CO.UK website and sort the headlines out after each match.

    If you pay up you can moan as loud as you like. Also as a special bonus for you your first role as a shareholder will be sacking Lee Charnley.

    Although I like prawns, prawn sandwiches are just no good. I expect a bit more from my matchday lunches. I want tandoori prawns skewers or tempura king prawn. Or maybe a scallop, black pudding and chorizo nibbles. You get the idea.

    I have to say the current lunches at NUFC are pretty darn good. Mike certainly knows his grub. You'd never have guessed would you?

    Hmmm very good question. The answer depends on your own response to the following question:

    "When will Obi Wan win the headline game?"

    Don't rush your reply. Think about it. Think very, very carefully. <ok>

    His pies taste like a month old used tampon.

    That's why I keep trying to throw them down at you posh bastards in the dear seats.

    I was going to ask how you know what a month old used tampon taste like, but I'd rather not know.

    You have to allow yourself a treat once a week mate. You only going to fail at some point but just forget it and keep up with what's obviously an improvement. This **** doesn't happen overnight it has to become natural to you like a daily task such as wiping your arsehole or brushing your teeth.
