Title: SSW & Carson in Gazette & Herald
Post by: Power to people on Thursday, August 16, 2007, 12:34:45
SSW has a peice in the G & H - not sure if it is available online but the main points are:

He will be happy to sit in the TE and take his grandchildren

Good to pass the baton on to someone who is going to move the club forward

"they are real football experts, I think we could see some exciting players coming to STFC"

SSW confident money will be aviailable to Sturrock

Ref CVA "we wouldn't have got his far if we hadn't spoken about it"

SSW was not at the meeting but was represented by James

From Carson:

New owners have experience of running a football club in portugal

They have put a lot of money in so they are going to do things right and they are going to go out and get a fair few players

Money being put in will pay debts which means we will owe no money

There is still a lot to do but things will get better

Does not know if he will still be involved with STFC

Pretty much sounds like Carson is out the door and good riddance.....SSW could have walked with his head held high, but in my opinion has blown that opportunity.

  Without SSW playing King Theoden to his Grima Wormtongue,  Diamond Mike should be on his way....its just possible though he may linger to cause some further mischief in the Shire.

have to agree with that.

shame really for all the good SSW has done for the club it has all been overshadowed with the bad he brought to the club including MGCD (Mike Greasy Cunt Diamandis)sp

Aparently, at the staff meeting yesterday, Greasy Mike thanked those present for all their hard work during his time at Swindon.  Never stated he was leaving but those in the room were of the opinion that he would be going asap.  As Sir Seton will no longer be involved in the day to day activites at the club there will be no need for him to stay on anyway!! :wink:

Maybe he's not going - maybe they are.
