And all of this is based upon any facts? No it isn't.
We know virtually fuck all about any of the new owners yet some fans still had already made their mind up that they are
a). broke
b). crap
c). in it for the develpoment money
d). not willing to spend a penny on the clubs playing budget
e). going to employ the cheapest option as a new manager
f). going to exploit the club and the fans of STFC
g). lead by the dodgiest geezer since Hitler mated with Stalin and their offspring mated with Jimmy Saville
In your case it appears that you have pretty much decided before you have even heard Jed & co speak to Swindon fans about their plans that hence they are fucking shite and we will forever regret the choice to let them into the club.
Sorry for the anger but this does totally fucking piss me off, nobody outside of their consortium know their plans or their funding whatsoever so why not just just write them off? We don't know and arent willing to wait and hear them out first before we (You) judge them.
But we do know a bit about them...for example one of them Rice? owns a small hotel in Bourne, Lincs, now this may be useful when we go up to Scunny, for an overnight stop, but not sure it will have enough rooms. |

You state that we KNOW a bit about them but in the same sentence you put a question mark after his name as though you were not sure. |

Oh and by the way.......sorry for being a little optimistic, it is obviously a trait that is evidently missing almost entirely from the TEF now.

I wouldn't even call it optimism. Accepting it could go either way is really just neutral. However, not prophesising doom and gloom makes some look positively cheery in comparison. It's not positivity that makes some people look like optimists, it's the sheer negativity of others that does it. |

Think people are just being realistic based on the evidence so far... |

I can understand some aprehension but we have almost no evidence whatsoever so far on the new people, we don't even know the entire make up of the consortium as yet. |

This is the same every time we're in this situation.
Not so long ago I'm pretty sure I remember people telling us to expect the cheapest managerial option and hope we don't end up in the Conference.

It does happen every time. It's the same people every time telling us to be 'realistic' and be prepared for imminent doom. |
