I saw them and they all looked British, there was quite a few of them aswell so I'd suspect it was the hedge fund

Hopefully Mr Trew told them "thanks but no thanks" then.

that's odd Consdering the tax bill was paid and it's rumoured that was part of the agreement of the deal but who knows 

It could have something to do with the security company that was chasing us originally back in 2009.

It's came to my attention certain tweets but I'm also hearing a few other mumblings about the hedge fund, if true (and it's a BIG if) - I don't think it would be a bad thing. I think when you first read it, your bound to be concerned but if money is invested wisely there's little difference over normal owners/investors. All will have an exit strategy, all will want to make money but in football that's a very hard thing.

However, if it's base on multiple investors who share the responsibility - I think it could work. It all depends on the set-up of chairman, who's involved - you don't want a group of people scrobbling over power trips.

I don't agree that any potential owner will be looking to make money - they might be in it for fun, as an ego trip or to bolster their own profile and businesses, but football is a virtually guaranteed way to tip your money down the drain.

A hedge fund is designed to deliver a profit for its investors. So why invest in something as risky as a football club? It's like betting your pension on a horse. How are they planning to make money from Notts?

I'm unsure of how to spell his name but many are saying that it could be the guy from 2009 that owned Octavian security, many believe he is one of the parties, he is Asian and does currently live in America

Perhaps they are planning on offsetting Notts' losses against there profits for a nice bit of tax relief? Pump enough money in with capable people in charge and you could potentially do a Bournemouth and get a guaranteed £100m? As long as you don't spend more than £100m getting to the premier, its instant profit and as I said earlier, it lets them offset taxable income

I'll have to pass on the tax idea as I don't know what's legal and what's not, but getting Notts into the top flight would not exactly generate an instant profit, @Melikepie, as it would require three promotions, which is anything but a given even with huge investment. If that's all there was to it, we'd be at least a division higher. Why would a fourth division club with modest gates and a bigger city rival limiting its potential be seen as a good bet for the Premier League?

Put it another way: people pay money into these funds because they want a return on their investment. They want to put 50k in and take 100k out, and they don't care how it's achieve. If you put your savings into a fund, would you be happy if they went and bought a football club?

It leaves a bad smell for me. Getting a slight feeling of deja vu right now.

sukhi ghanuman or sumat along them lines 

@DangerousSausage I agree, but if they put in £50m and get £100m out in 3 years, that is where the profit is right there. Plus in 3 years time, the TV money is more than likely going to increase further and we don't really need to upgrade facilities
