Strange, but the worst performance in a town shirt was away at Bmuff.
He wasn't much cop at Orient either....heads gone!!!!!!
Probably a blip though, he will do well for them.
I would fucking love it if we turn them over this season somehow.

BBC Wilts understand deal was sanctioned by old and new boards.
Well that raises lots of questions and answers none!

If it was required to bridge a funding gap, it would suggest the new lot aren't exactly flushed with cash. Brilliant.

35 pages and the most irritating thing about this whole thing for me? The spelling of fucking 'Matt Richie'
Aside from that, I am a little narked at having sold him at what I think is below the going rate. I think a fee nearer 1 million would have been more realistic.
But, lets hold on until 11pm today and see who is brought in. Clearly Rooney, RDV and Roberts are now our only wingers and this isn't going to be enough to continue our promotion 'charge'. The ideal scenario is that Roberts replaces Ritchie like for like and starts to come good.
I'll be amazed if anyone comes in. I'm just hoping we dont lose Williams,Collins and Fods. |

End of the month and paydays, if contracts were only exchanged lates last night it will take a couple of days for everything to go through. Mr Black certainly wouldnt be paying them, and I doubt if anyone has 75k cash in an envelope to cover bills until then. |

I was under the impression that the club were 'ahead of their budget' - which means to me that the day to day running costs were being more than covered by club generated income. Virtually all clubs run a bank overdraft - which we apparently did not - so surely if there was a dire need for some form of external short term funding, why not ask the bank. Surely Black didn't empty his pockets each and every month to cover any shortfall |

Last night my 6 year old learned that football can be sad. He has idolised MR for the last 20 months. Always trying to emulate him when playing football. He kept calling to Richie on Tuesday night at LO. This Saturday he is mascot for town and was so excited about meeting MR. He is so sad this morning. Heartbroken. Gutted for him and Town.

I am not sure that we budgeted for an operating profit. I think that is exactly what Black has been doing, hence his will to get out. |

We had a few wobbly lips in our house this morning too, MR. My youngest couldn't understand why we'd sell him to promotion rivals (and why he'd go) "because they're not even better"

Yes he did unfortunately - I believe Black was funding the club to the tune of £250k a month or so. |

In 20 years time, I wonder if these same children will be saying..."same old Swindon, I remember when we sold Matt Ritchie for nothing in 2013."
