The Glasgow-based 50-year-old (who has been under a lot of stress recently) claims that Toon fans would have to "get involved" in the takeover via the Supporters Trust and that mystery funds worth £100million would be made available if they are successful.
However, early indications of the mooted takeover have been ignored by Seymour Pierce indicating they have a little chance of being contenders.
Roberts: "We want fans to get involved and we are looking forward to meeting each other.
"We want to make it a debt free club, I can't go into real detail at the moment, it's ongoing.
"We have tried Seymour Pierce and Mr Harris would not even come on the phone.
"One of the directors of the company I am helping has Derek Llambias' number and he will contact him."
Yet this audacious claim has already been privately played down by the club.
