Roberts, along with a group called Fanbase 410, has launched a bid which will involve Newcastle fans making a personal investment in the club.
Roberts: "It was a positive meeting. Now we will sit down with the supporters. They want to run their own football club, and why not?
"I just work for the company that is putting this together. Newcastle supporters will pick their own president and the manager.
"It's the same at Barcelona and Real Madrid. You never know, they could end up buying £60million or £70million players. It works for Barcelona, why not Newcastle United?"
Barcelona is owned by its 108,000 club members while Real Madrid are polled every four years on the club's direction.
Although Roberts was reluctant to reveal exactly how the proposed system at Newcastle would work, it is thought Fanbase will pay their members annual dividends.
Not many people thought this was a genuine offer ... least of all Ashley.
Will it come off? We can but hope.
