Fancy expanding a bit?
If not, I forgot to mention I had an hour long conversation with Raj yesterday morning in our rooms at Merlin Manor and he told me lots of positive stuff as the nurses fed us our morning pills and gave us our morning baths.

Sorry Kevin misread it.

Ok Rinkender lets have it, We won,t forget.

Unless of course you would like to type what you were told.
Or are you just behaving like the club, And saying Nowt.
You know the club that you call out for saying nowt.

So in essence there is a lot of straw grasping going on with not an iota of evidence other than a vague statement six weeks ago by the so-called interim board who is reality are unlikely to know more than anyone else.

The media would have shouted it from the rooftops if they knew anything so their statements are worthless and HUST are no more likely to have any inside info that you or I given the relationship between them and RS. Make no mistake; RS is the only one who knows the full story and he ain’t saying.

The ‘potential buyer’ made an offer that was acceptable on the day Raj said he wanted to sell. The sale needs proof of funds, there has been none. Raj put a big chunk in last week but thinks he’s no better thought of, seems he is feeling very bitter.

Easy way to get fans onside would be to be a bit more transparent. Obviously he's not going to divulge sensitive stuff but a high level overview of the progress or lack of it would help.
There were 2 acceptable offers, are they both still on the table?

This is the key bit for me. Raj has never seemed to understand that fans want to support him but he gives us nothing to go off and then the empty space he leaves is filled with rumours.
If the club released a statement yesterday evening saying 'funding has now stopped from the chairman, season ticket money has been well received etc.' and then said whats happening with the 2 offers. Are they both on the table, are they no further forward, are we very close to completion, has proof of funds been deposited? All of these things can be done without breaking an NDA and would actually get people to rally round the club if it was needed.
Instead currently we're stuck with some people saying the potential owner has no money, another group saying they will be taking over extremely soon and the rest of us with no clue what's actually going on.

Even something as high level as the club is safe, or not. At least we'd have hope, or not. But certainly if there was a real likelihood that yesterday was our swansong then announcing that fact would have filled the ground imo.

As I was saying the other day, P&B says something and there’s a page of ridicule (rightly or wrongly.) Then stuff like this is posted and there’s no reaction. Makes absolutely no sense that there’s still no proof of funds - surely if there was no ongoing process Raj would be shouting from the hilltops about wanting a buyer.
And why would he feel bitter putting money in and being ill-thought of, when he hasn’t publicly stated this!

As I said, if we were in dire straits I'd have thought there'd be a rallying call before yesterday's game. Missed out on probably an extra 1500 - 2000 paying on the gate, potentially around £25k plus catering income.

Are you P& B in disguise - serious question.
Why are you sticking up for him? We're nearly 8 pages into this thread and the deal he said was done that started it- still has not been done/ announced.
As for proof of funds- how do you know with certainty that that hasn't been provided?
Raj whilst not saying anything - has been quick to point that out in the past, though no comment has been made for quite sometime around that issue, as a sticking point in the deal going through.

Think he's just asking why one set of unsubstantiated claims is rubbished and another set is not.

New Update Chris Kelly the vape man is getting ready to run the club.
Shelly and the 3 other backers will all be involved.

Chris had a meeting with Jeff stelling and Shelly a week gone Sunday.

There we go and it’s 100% correct.

Bloody hell P&B - talk about hedging your bets. :roll:
It's like the Hokey Cokey- he's in, then he's out and now he's back in again?

This is about the 4th time you've sold the club, in the last 6 weeks with a 100% guarantee

When will this particular consortium complete?
Have they proof of/ deposited funds?
Have they money to invest in the team?
How is it that you are party to this classified info, whilst no one else knows or is saying anything? sctatchinghead

Marvelous isn't it..? It's probably time for me to contribute my imaginary scenario to the debate, so here goes.

The cash from season ticket sales will have put a few more gallons of aviation fuel in Raj's jet, which will be flying off to Dubai very soon.

Once there, Raj will join his immediate family members who are already residents of Dubai, and spend the remainder of his life in luxury. He will not have a care in the world. Once in a while, Hartlepool Utd will pop into his head, and he will have a wank every time this occurs.

The club will go bust, and move to Shotton Colliery as a phoenix club after The Trust sign a merger with The Axemen.

A few years later, I will win the club in a game of cards in the bar of the Comrades, and finally Pools will be mine.

I'll shut the club down, and turn wherever they ended-up playing into allotments with state-of-the-art pigeon crees, and the Yackers will vote me in as the mayor of Easington and South Hetton.

John, son of the Pear family, will then put a fatwa out on me, and I'll be spat on whenever I visit Hartlepool.

Raj will hear about this, and legally adopt me after flying me out to Dubai and offering me his daughter's hand in marriage.

And despite not really wanting a severed human hand, I will accept it gracefully.

And we'll all live happily ever after*.

THE END.

*You lot obviously won't, but I will.

:wink:

Dr. Ranjan Varghese, a Hong Kong-based businessman, became Gateshead Football Club’s owner in July 2018, promising a sustainable, community-focused vision. His tenure quickly turned disastrous due to financial mismanagement and controversial decisions. By September 2018, a National League transfer embargo crippled the club’s ability to sign players, while key players were sold without the coaching staff’s knowledge, reportedly by Varghese’s advisor, Joseph Cala. Unpaid wages and rent led to eviction from Gateshead International Stadium in March 2019, with players enduring delayed payments and cost-cutting measures like early-morning travel without meals. Fans and staff accused Cala of running the club, undermining Varghese, who faced criticism for being an absent owner. In March 2019, Varghese put the club up for sale for £1, demanding a £200,000 bond reimbursement, but a potential deal with Chris Dunphy collapsed when Varghese sought additional fees. Staff sackings, including manager Ben Clark and general manager Alisha Henry, via text and email, fueled further backlash. Supporters planned a breakaway club, and the Football Association investigated Cala’s role. Varghese’s mismanagement left Gateshead in financial ruin, with unpaid debts and a demoralized squad, marking a chaotic chapter for the National League side.

This Dr is now favourite to secure our club.

Singhs parting shot?

No one can seriously believe anything that P+B posts but personally I don't care if it the new owner turns out to be Dr Evil with Mini Me as team manager long as it enables life after Singh to progress and thus provide an opportunity to fight another day without slumping to the depths that the loids found themselves in.

By September 2018, a National League transfer embargo crippled the club’s ability to sign players, while key players were sold without the coaching staff’s knowledge, reportedly by Varghese’s advisor, Joseph Cala. Unpaid wages and rent led to eviction from Gateshead International Stadium in March 2019, with players enduring delayed payments and cost-cutting measures like early-morning travel without meals. Fans and staff accused Cala of running the club, undermining Varghese, who faced criticism for being an absent owner. In March 2019, Varghese put the club up for sale for £1, demanding a £200,000 bond reimbursement, but a potential deal with Chris Dunphy collapsed when Varghese sought additional fees. Staff sackings, including manager Ben Clark and general manager Alisha Henry, via text and email, fueled further backlash. Supporters planned a breakaway club, and the Football Association investigated Cala’s role. Varghese’s mismanagement left Gateshead in financial ruin, with unpaid debts and a demoralized squad, marking a chaotic chapter for the National League side.

This Dr is now favourite to secure our club.

Singhs parting shot?

P&B - what is this 'We' you talk about - you're clearly a loid on the the wind up. Please stop making yourself, look like a complete Bellend by posting this utter shit and crawl back under your rock.
I've been calling your shite out for months now, and it really has become tiresome.

Mods- can you check if P&B and Mikey76 are the same IP address, as I suspect they maybe conjoined twins? sctatchinghead
