£5k Auction on the farm

Amazing stuff, but cant help feel its "stage managed" . IJN posts and then 90 mins later, who pops up?? Call me an old cynic, but could Nikkk be JB/JB associate? Im assuming that if the staff are paid through the books then that would be subject to PAYE/NIC - would the staff fund also have to pay PAYE/NIC? Seems a nice way to maybe save 25-40% though im no expert.......

It just gets worse. It is certainly looking very strange indeed. If someone wealthy wants to make a donation, why not just do it, rather than this nauseating back slapping charade ?

It just gets more and more bizarre, but seemingly the masses lap it up. Perhaps they're just nicer people than me and are happy to accept things at face value.

Fair play to Nikkk, but it does make the 'bidding' process a complete farce.

I just wish, with his obvious generosity, Nikkk had bought the club!

According to his lordship Nickk has now retired from the auctions

That man certainly saved Brent a lot of money, Brent must be pretty annoyed if he has indeed retired.

Is there a COA with the item? Not that I would question Newell's good name at all.

Of course it has to be a stage managed show, how else would some people remain with any credibility! - "What did you do in the war"!

How strange how Nickk never wants his item after he's won it......

Never noticed that all the valuable items went unclaimed. However there were a lot of wet knickers as the bids went up and up on the last one.

Could be right that it is a way of getting cash in without the tax etc involved.

You guys really do need to get a grip!

You could be right Monti.

However, I was standing near the grassy knoll........

At least he hasn't got your job. Must be hell having to lick your masters sweaty crack on a hot day.

Nikkk/ Nick is obviously a very rich man who should be commended for his contributions to the auctions. I don't think we'll ever know his true identity and he obviously doesn't want any plaudits personally.

If indeed he really exists in the first place

Apparently all the items are donated to various charities/hospices etc.

So you've got say - well done for that.

First off nikkk has been very generous but I find it very strange that he has stepped down on the last day of the financial tax year. Maybe it will look good on this years tax return, like pay less tax HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

If someone had the time Nikk did post on Pasoti a suggestion that a group of wealthy individuals like himself get together to invest in the club.

Edit to add:

I'm sad and lonely enough to have had time to find it

I know to date I have just been here mucking about with auctions and stuff but for some time it has been on my mind to discuss that going forward and particularly following the feeling following last nights game, maybe the way forward would be to step back several years, and I appreciate not perhaps relevant with todays "big clubs" with "big owners" but we as a club should put together a board of directors with maybe 6 or 7 Directors all of whom can offer personal substantial bank gurantees or lump sums and thus move into safety with the budget to" buy" safety from "disaster" James has already made it clear what his limits are but perhaps there are are a few that could do this. I personally do not think it would take a busting amount of cash to buy safety. Anyway would be delighted to help personally and surely there are a few other genuine Devon/Cornwall business people who could form a board. Ok maybe not suitable for the big time but sufficient to ensure league survival ? Maybe talking nonsense and perhaps I should just bid on shirts but cant help feeling this is the way to go today !

Even more sad and lonely ,but also because the family re watching the absolutely turgid Take Me Out, I've totalled up what Nikk has bid.

As far as I can tell he's won 34 auctions totalling £36500.

Remarkable.

Actually Dougie it's £42,000.

I saw the PM's from Nickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk to IJN on Ian's phone at Hereford.

Certainly looks genuine. Even IJN finds it hard to understand.

Secret Millionaire anyone?
