@Math_Smith said: “Nobody believes it. Why would you pay £300M for a club that will be worth less than half of that next season?”

@NUFC_Oscar86_ commented: “Easy, look at what it’s generating... publicity! These type companies it’s all they crave when starting a business. It’ll be nothing but that always is.”

@NUFCAzmi commented: “I like Peter Kenyon based on his past work.Think he is exactly what nufc need.Will transform the club on & off. The proposal also sounds fair.Hope he shallows his pride, concede he failed and take it and run away.”

@applesucker tweeted: “Am I being picky by saying I don’t want this to happen? The transfer kitty sounds underwhelming and their PowerPoint is tragic. We can do better.”

@JMAG1892_2 posted: “I'm setting up a company because I'm coming for yours. Means nowt in the grand scheme of things but it's the first step in any purchase. I think the only good thing is they were setup in the US so proves it's not someone on the wind up.”
