Deep Throat has been passed the the same info as me?

Charlie Chawke and Louis Fitzgerald were part of the Drumaville Consortium who used to be at Sunderland and tried to buy Newcastle United a few years ago. Big players with serious money. It could be these are the preferred bidders.

Excellent news. Captain Mildred can keep Ridsdale in check in the boardroom, and I'm sure Lewis T. Duck will make a fine assistant for Reidy.

Louis Fitzgerald is connected to Mastpoint member Eddie O'Connor from a business venture a few years ago.

Two Property developers involved in the consortium that took over at Sunderland. Paddy Kelly and patsy byrne, could they be involved too?

Hopefully they have deep pockets and won't be afraid to invest a bit of money into securing some decent players for a push at going straight back up to league 1!!

Interesting speculation on this thread.

The Toon attempt
Publican Charlie Chawke has launched an audacious bid to buy English football club, Newcastle United. Chawke confirmed yesterday that he was putting together a consortium to purchase Newcastle from its present owner, Mike Ashley, for £100m (€116m).

"We're looking at it, alright," Chawke said. "It's a great club. He [Ashley] is looking for £100m. You could probably get it for less with a bit of luck. A year-and-a-half ago he was looking for £600m. The problem is to get the syndicate together. Our syndicate in Sunderland bust up last year so a few of us are interested again but others are not, so we will just have to look at trying to get a few people interested in it."

Chawke was part of the Drumaville consortium, an eight-man group that included fellow publican Louis Fitzgerald and a number of property developers, which purchased Sunderland Football Club for €12.65m in 2006.

Having reportedly invested between €60m and €80m in the club, they pulled out three years later when American businessman Ellis Short bought their stake.


From the kind of money, they were talking about with our Geordie friends they could get a bigger outfit easily.

My question - of all the clubs why would there be an interest in us?

The drumaville 8 paid only £12.75m for Sunderland, maybe if there are less eg only 4 this time they are looking to spend less... Ie £1 + £5m debt?

Does this explain the secrecy around the group. I am sure they could afford a lot more then 0.77p in the pound, but at that price have got one hell of a deal.

It is not such a 'one hell of a deal' given the fact the Football League TV rights monies due to PAFC are to be assigned to the members of the NWO Board to enable them to get repaid. This was a very significant line of income to the Club, which will now have to be funded by any incoming owner/s.

Anybody know what the TV money is for L2??

About £265k to League 2 clubs (ish)
