Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 08:05:06 Quote EmbarGO! Fitton hoping to end transfer block today as new manager Malpas targets some signings By Gareth Moorhouse INCOMING Town chairman Andrew Fitton will attempt to have the club's transfer embargo lifted today as new manager Maurice Malpas looks to add at least two new faces to his resurgent Robins squad. Fitton will hold a telephone conference with the Football League, after which he hopes the authorities will allow normal trading to resume at the County Ground. The Ramsbury businessman revealed one player was already poised to join Town on loan, while assistant boss Dave Byrne would like to see "two or three" new faces at the club before the weekend. Fitton said: "I will hold a telephone conference with the Football League and we'll take it from there. "The worst case for us, there's a League board meeting on Thursday and I would like to think it would be considered there. "I would like to think it may not even take that long, but everything needs to be ratified first. "We have agreed in principal one loan deal already but we have to wait for the embargo to be lifted before we can bring any players in." Malpas will be officially unveiled as the new Town boss this morning before taking his seat in the dugout for tonight's FA Cup replay at Barnet. Meanwhile, Fitton confirmed yesterday that the Inland Revenue payment has now been finalised after weeks of tough negotiations. He said: "We started with our hands behind our back because the reputation of the club was not quite as good as it might have been. "But once the tax man realised we were serious, proper people he has been very helpful and very polite. "A document was signed this morning (Monday) and I've now got a piece of paper from the tax man. "Essentially there is an agreement between us and on Tuesday the money will be paid to the tax man." Byrne will take charge of the Town team for the final time tonight, with Malpas still keen to assess his squad. The Swindon number two has been preparing a transfer list for incoming chief Malpas over the last few weeks and is now waiting for the green light from Fitton and the Football League. Byrne said: "We would like to see two or three new faces at the club by the weekend. "I have spoken to other players who are keen to come to Swindon Town and everything looks positive. "But we are in week two of the transfer window now and we need to carry on being proactive." Byrne confirmed the club have made an offer for former Town loanee Simon Cox, but says reports of a £200,000 bid are "well wide of the mark." "I spoke to Coxy on Saturday. He has not ruled anything out yet. If he was to move to a League One club, and there are two or three others interested in him, then we would be favourites to get him. "The £200,000 figure quoted is miles away. It gives a false impression and it is only a fraction of that." Midfielder Lee Peacock is a doubt for tonight's third round replay at Underhill after picking up a calf strain in the 2-2 draw at Walsall. Meanwhile, midfielder Franklin Anzite has joined League Two outfit Shrewsbury Town on trial. The Frenchman joined the Robins in August but has failed to break into the first team, despite a number of impressive performances for the reserves. 7:21am today http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/swindontown/headlines/display.var.1965007.0.embargo_fitton_hoping_to_end_transfer_block_today_as_new_manager_malpas_targets_some_signings.php Title: Re: Embargo to be lifted today!

Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: Batch on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 11:06:51 Deal done, 75% now owned by Fitton consortium.
They have the power! Who is involved in consortium. Who on board? Fitton (leader, largest shareholder), Wray (shareholder) - only 2 on board of holding company. Arbib shareholder, but just a follower, big supporter of local interests so on board to stop club dying and for a bit of fun. He WILL NOT join board of holding company (not around for 1/2 the year) Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: magic8ball on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 11:07:09 Consortium of Swindon Football Holding...
Led by Fitton the largest shareholder. Arbib is a follower, a big supporter of local interests. Sounds like he won't be plunging money in! And won't be joining the board. Spends too much time out of the country, but is involved. Enjoyed the Bristol Rovers game :) Title: Embargo to be lifted today!

Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: Panda Paws on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 11:08:45 Russell Backhouse (think that's how it's spelt) is one of the backers ...
Nick Watkins now chief exec Loved the link about Abib - wanted to support something that would have otherwise died. Good man!!! Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: magic8ball on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 11:08:53 Board of the Club:
Won't be the same in a year that it is today. AF wants a small board with all members adding something. Board will be Wray, Russell Backhouse (CE of a company, sounds like a finance head), Nick Watkins (CE), AF (Chairman of the Board). Thats what it will be for the foreseeable future. Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 11:09:18 haha, he said arbib enjoyed the game he went to and it was worth twice the entrance fee, so we can see where were going from their

Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: mattboyslim on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 11:21:21 Not that clear, but at least i's are dotted adn t's crossed. Looks like saturday will make things clearer. I'm guessing the ten point plan will include promotion, stadium development and boosting the non-matchday income to the club through relationships with local stakeholders.

Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: wheretherealredsare on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 12:23:26 So was there nothing else on Brunel or anywhere from the PC? It stopped after Ed's question to Malpas? No more updates on the Adver site.
Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 13:26:51 Good to hear the positive vibes from the club today. So has the embargo actually been lifted now?
Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: axs on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 13:31:56 payment should go through today so hopefully that will lift the embargo.
Title: Embargo to be lifted today!

Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 14:04:56 Bit of a poor press conf, no one asked about when the debts would be paid, what the deal with HMRC is, what Fitton's future plan's are, when the embargo is likely to be lifted etc, have all previous board resigned, are Bob & Sandy leaving now that the handover has been completed ?
Sounds to me it was rather tame and nobody asking the questions people are wanting answers to, even if Fitton had said that info will be forthcoming then at least someone woulfd have asked the questions, if you don't ask you don't know ! Title: Embargo to be lifted today! Post by: STFC_Gazzza on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 14:10:18 embargo has been lifted.
