Apparently they are about to be bought out by a Nigerian company lead by a ex Sunderland player from Nigeria. Very interesting that they find a buyer without being up for sale. Maybe that shows people are still interested in buying low level football clubs. It should be easy for Pools to attract a money machine if the price is not inflated to silly levels. Let's all get some euro lottery tickets bought for Fridays £166 million draw because you never know dafter things happen.

Gateshead FC tight-lipped on Victor Anichebe takeover talk as ex-Sunderland star linked with deal

Oh Bollocks - you mean to say one of them replied to 'that' email from the Prince of Nigeria, offering untold riches - if you give him your bank details to help him temporarily park some cash

If they weren't going to the wall- they definitely will be now

new ownership is no guarentee of new success. we might find this out once the club does get sold. all new owner party,s need to be put on hold to see what does happen.

Genuinely think this won't improve Gateshead. They're very good at doing what they do which is bringing players in to stick to the style of play and fostering continuity, while selling their assets on and replacing them well with the turnover funding the club. Ideally they would bring investment in and carry on with the same brains behind the operation but can you see Victor Anichebe coming in and saying 'I was a premier league footballer but I think you guys know better so well stick with what you're doing'? I imagine they'll come in and do things their way which might be worse than whats been going on there

So that’s where Raj is going……?

no. division 2 wearside league where his money and vision can stagnate a club down there.

There's a rabbit away already with the Gateshead's 'takeover.' According to the Evening Chronicle
"With the Heed flying high once again this season, speculation regarding a potential takeover at the Tynesiders' arose last week, with Yeovil Town boss Mark Cooper claiming someone had allegedly agreed a deal with a Yeovil player Frank Nouble for a transfer to Gateshead, despite not yet owning the club.
At his pre-match press conference, Cooper said: 'Frank wanted to go to Gateshead. Somebody from Gateshead approached him that we've now found out, has no influence or doesn't own the football club.'"

You'd imagine even the halfwits who administer the NL's Fit and Proper Person test will be a bit dubious a bid coming from Nigeria

Why do Gateshead seem to attract investors? Forever in the shadow of the barcodes and although they have a loyal fan base they struggle to attract any floating supporters.
Shields have been for sale for a while now, nice little ground and a decent fan base for the level they are at, surely a better proposition than Gateshead if tyneside is the preferred area?
The you have you lot, own ground and a good fan base. Or is the asking price ridiculous?

most off putting part of gateshead fc is that bloody athletics stadium they have to play on. crowds will never increase there and they need investment to play at a traditional english ground with 5,000 maximum capacity to give the place some atmosphere.

Alledgydly
It frightened of potential new owners who are doing OK at Wrexham n York.
Plus them lot from this time last year.

He had his chances but greed has now blew the club up unless a very small minority believe in fairy tales.

Any truth in the rumour Singh has transferred all his loans into the Prestige Group and asked for immediate repayment, issuing a CCJ against the club?

Whats CCJ,?

can we issue one on him stating the mental health problems he has given us all over the last few years and cruelty to our animals after shouting at them after another no win game

initials of our new mystery buyer or the consortium pf cockwabbler, charletan and jackthelad.

It's a
County Court Judgment
Demanding that a debt be repaid.

Interesting

But Raj can't issue a CCJ against anyone. The o ly authority that can issue a CCJ is the Courts.
Whether he's taken the club to court to call in his debt would be a different matter, but why say you'll fund the club to the end of the season and claim talks with prospective buyers have taken place? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Does anything Raj does make any sense when it comes to running a football club?
I’m expecting a carbon copy of Darlo, hope for your sakes I’m wrong.
Anyway it’s just what I heard today, hence asking on here if anyone had heard the same.

We don't have an asking price (that's soooo last season darling) We Are!

Let's not kid ourselves LS- you'd love us to go pop as well. Difference is we've got a ground that isn't a Folly - that's ultimately what caused the death of your club.

As for a CCJ you have to have a court date for one of them- think we'd have heard about it before being told by a scurrilous loid rumour

Sorry Kettering I don't agree with what you say about Loan Star, he's a long time poster on here who only ever comes on to give measured and useful advice, I would personally trust what he says.

The character reference is fair enough, but 95% of all the rumours that get mentioned on here turn out to be bullshit. This one will very likely end up on the same pile of ordure.

I agree Paulus.

I like Loan Star, just because he supports Darlo doesn’t mean he’s wrong…..they’ve been through the mill too, but he’s always reasonable…and we’re were warned.

Doesn't alter the fact that for a CCJ to be ordered it has to go to Court.
If (???) it's true that there are potentially talks with new buyers in the pipeline then going to court to call in his debt right now just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And whenever there's been a Court case against the club which could affect the existence of the club it's been in the public domain.

As I said it’s just something I was told today, I do hear a lot of stuff and some turns out to be bollocks but I thought I’d share it here since it affects you lot.
As for the CCJ I know Singh can’t do that himself but he can apply for one! It is the sort of thing he would do too.

I could be wrong but talks of CCJ’# would be like the Captain of the Titanic sueing himself.

unless he has been planning this before he stepped down i doubt he,d have had the time to get his legal team to draw up the papers for it. cannot just go to the court on something scribbled on the back of an envelope plus its no help to him getting a buyer by doing this. like many rumours there might be a very small percentage of truth in them but are blown up to make em sound more interesting.

Raj after money via a CCJ...???

Tell him he can Singh for it...

Go on Kenny lad you tell the twat.

Reading between the lines PTID it looks like blackmail to me. By doing this it will effect the club going forward for 6 full years. From his prospective he wants a quick sale at the price he thinks it's worth. So basically the way I see it he is pushing any potential buyer into purchasing ( Russian Roulette) quickly and getting it done and dusted by using the threat of a CCJ. No new owner wants or needs a CCJ it would definitely harm the club going forward. But do we know if he has actually done this yet.

Someone has to mate. Note that his dummy is in its usual position - i.e. mid-air after being spat out of his pram.

Bloke sulks more than our lass when I won't pay her credit card...

I was telling Snowy a year ago the bloke is an attention seeker who likes getting his own way in life. I know someone who knows him and he said then upset him at your peril.

My take from last year.
Think he played for lots of help with the bills n running of the club while still holding 51% of the club. Still the top man with financial help.

This season had a dream of Promotion with a fair few fans thought was a guarantee .
To do exactly the same as last time.

Now must have a crazy dream that some delusionists with lots of Dosh will fulfil his idiotic dream that he's getting bought out with profit or no loss.

It's the big A for sure.
WSO.

Which is probably the quickest way to rise.
A takeover with debt for 6 to 10 years wudent work.
We take it on the chin n move forward.

Life's to short to complain all the time especially when health is no. 1.

Agree or disagree.
You are allowed your own opinions.
WSO.

Agree, And i should know i post most of them.
