All seems to have an air of Jed about it, guy buys club which was in grave danger of disappearing altogether if they didn't but then doesn't actually have the cash to take it forward.

Its similar to us with Power, if the club wasn't a bit of a basket case these people would not be able to afford to buy in the first place, likewise anyone with cash and sense will buy further up the ladder with better prospects and revenues.

Looks like Gateshead are finished - relegated 2 divisions, no players.  Phoenix club is probably the best option now.

The whole things a mess, the fans group who were looking to start the phoenix club thought they had bought the club last week, to the extent of handing over £25k to the owner and getting him off the directors register at Companies House and getting a new name on, however a day later that was all revered, what has happened to the money seems unclear and the whole thing has got lost in the news of NUFC being possibly taken over.

Really feel for the fans!

God is he still going? Thought he was banned. How the hell is he:
a) not in jail?
b) allowed anywhere near running a football club?

His old man is banned, I think? I think the assets were transferred to Jr after snr was banned from being a director just offered to step back for a while* for 12 years or whatever?

Ah yes, it was the old man who was banned and then continued to run clubs using jr as a proxy (allegedly). At least until Jr was jailed for helping a guy who killed a copper to evade capture:

Looks like they may be in League 2 if this keeps up. May be able to get a player or two from them?
