About Us

    This project is the combined effort of two groups Newcastle Fans United and SaveNewcastle.com.  Both groups were at different stages in developing a plan for a supporter buyout of Newcastle United.  It was agreed after reviewing both plans and the qualifications of the team behind each plan that the newly formed group would back the plan presented by Newcastle Fans United.  Find out about our current team below:

Other Members:

The other members of the team are having to maintain professional anonymity due to the nature of the bid. When the bid vehicle and the bid is tabled we will go public as we will have to in order to finalize the bid and buy the club.

Our team consists of a tax partner in a big 4 accountancy firm, a partner in a law firm specialising in organisational legal frameworks, a Head of Audit for a £0.75bn turnover organisation, an Executive Director of a big 4 consultancy, a football finance specialist, a strategic business consultant, a "fixer" with personal contacts in World Soccer and celebrity. We are currently recruiting a partner in a stockbrokers that specialises in football club takeovers.

The team is currently investigating the best vehicle for the takeover/buyout. We have to be certain that whatever structure we choose will be suitable firstly for the purchase of the club and secondly, to run the club and finance its daily operations and transfers. The original shape of 300,000 shares was to indicate to the Newcastle fans and community the enormity of the task.
