bamber 128 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Shades of Tommy Lawton joining the 'Pies after The War. I know who I'd rather have signing the on the dotted line down at Meadow Lane. What price now for a centre forward of Lawton's pedigree and goal scoring abilty. £50 million? £100 million?

rob237 89 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 As ever in all of the major sports it is the actions, or inaction, of the national administrators that compromises both club and supporter... Why hasn't the FL the guts to say "No, we consider the County financial structure to be unsatisfactory...right and proper person approval denied!", instead of blatant fence sitting? Denial will give the club time to restructure, before the seemingly inevitable future penalties are imposed. Occurs to me that the dodgy set-up is typified by Executive Chairman, Peter Trembling. His TV "cliche" interviews are genuine flesh creep material... Nevertheless, pleasing to see both clubs occupying their respective play-off lead positions simultaneously... Many yonks since that happened! Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hope I'm never on trial, and you're not on the jury rob! As regards both well up on their respective leagues, 1997/98 both were champions Notts Div3 Forest Div1 (or 4th and 2nd in real money) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Just seen interview with Sven on BBC East Mids, he says was offered Sweden and Korea jobs but is staying at Notts and time the speculation stopped !cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 however in view of the 5 Swedes on the management side the club will be renamed Notts Ian Fotboll Club and the strip will be yellow and blue stripes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Notts County said this morning that its executive chairman, Peter Trembling, is mounting a management buyout of the club. It was reported earlier this morning that County's owners, Munto Finance, have put the club up for sale and the club is saying that Trembling is favourite to take over.

Beefsteak 305 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Like I said , the best ground in none league football http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/notts_county/8405269.stm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Quick glance at the Conference table suggests it would be about the fourth, or fifth, best. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Who would you suggest have better grounds in the lower leagues then Rob, I can't think of any team personally, I always thought that the re-vamped Meadow Lane was very well designed and subsequently very atmospheric. Having seen that programme, 'Inside Out' the other night, I would like to think that Sven is sincere and would put his money where his mouth is, I thought it astonishing that he turned down the chance of managing his own countries team in order to stay at Notts, but at that time, he was probably promised greater financial rewards by the 'Junta' in order to keep him at County. I'd be interested to know where the money is coming from to pay the players wages, I bet that they are on a better deal than the other Div 2 players. Lets also not forget that the County crowd attendance figures aren't exactly earth shattering, Forest get 20 thou plus each home match and that will rise as they get more succesful, County, far less than 10 thou despite all the hype. I wonder what will happen next, don't be so despondant Beefsteak, Charlie will return and have them in the Premiership within 3 years, you'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 re that report, reads as all good news and never mind about grounds and crowds, just remember We Are The People, (sold a storage radiator today so bit of money to spare, wonder if Sven wants a partner?)

Beefsteak 305 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 As soon as somebody from the last consoetium realises that we've been had , then the 5h1t will hit the fan!!! We, the supporters, bought the club, then get given this bullshit that there will be millions invested in the club, so we give it to them for a quid, no real debts to speak of save £200,000 to the taxman. Now Munto finance are going to sell their "investment" for a few million, they must be laughing all the way to their (None existant) bank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I see your point, but it was a bit like owning a car that needs fixing and you've no money? not even that really as at least you could have got SORN on the car! As it is now Munto (we assume) has cleared winding up orders etc and whilst the promised millions might not be there the fact theres some deal going on should mean we're better off than last season? And if Munto sell it for a few million then it means someone is willing to pay that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I hope that's the case , I just wouldn't feel so p1553d off if they were to offer me my £100 investment back!!! They got the club for 100 times less than I invested, and stand to make up to 100,000 times more!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 it's a bit like when they sell off stately houses etc for £1, (think the old Wollaton Hall Gate House went this way?) would be interesting to see the accounts since they took over? was it a majority vote of all the members or did a commitee decide?

Stan 386 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 "It has also emerged that another group, believed to consist of a number of Pakistani businessmen, are interested in the club. Should they, or any consortium other than Trembling's, take control of the club, Eriksson would walk away" Perhaps most intriguing is that Eriksson remains committed to the project at County, even though it now appears finances will not be sufficient to fund their ambitious 'five-year plan'. Qadbak, the company which owns County through the investment vehicle Munto Finance, is now publicly open to offers. Its change of stance came after it became clear that it does not possess the financial clout it claimed to have when taking control in June. As things have unravelled, they claim to have 'lost interest'. Offer them 2 Quid beefy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
