No, still not convinced that Morshead's witterings, are an inside line to our decision makers. He might like you to think that the case...

If these reports have substance, this does all seem to be happening much more quickly than most would have imagined possible. Perhaps things were taking place behind the scenes well before Andrew Black made his announcement.
Also, don't forget the only previous change of ownership, at least that I've ever experienced, involved a greedy board with a director who was a hateful shady cunt. Between them they had all the business acumen of your average government toff, so it's no wonder that any changing of hands previously was like swimming through molasses. I'm more hopeful that people who actually live in the real world, might be able to sort their shit a little quicker than a fat greek, a tobacco seller and jockey.

Every good forum needs a Reg....he feels he has heard it and seen it all before i suspect.
It is ONE of the reasons our crowds remain slightly disappointing in times of goodness.........just because many on this forum may be happy that the club is being sold so quickly,others realise that this has happened many times before and sadly ended up being a complete waste of time.
I will reserve judgement until the facts are made public....but i am glad that it looks to be a quick outcome.

Equally I suspect that we also have legible books/accounts these days I suspect in the past it was back of envelope and in mikes head!

OK mate you believe the scribblings of a cub Adver reporter if you want...personally I'll wait for something more concrete.
Its all we have got to go on at the moment. Sam is in dialogue directly with the club and I beleive he does no more than he has publicly stated but I appreciate what info he has given.

I don't mean to knock anyone...just a bit of friendly ribbing. Reg does also have an annoying habit of being right about a lot of stuff (eg predicted our relegation 2 seasons ago way before anyone else), so I'm not dismissing the cautionary noises either. Fingers crossed.

You don't have to be an old boy to have experienced the hardships of Swindon Town. The younger fans have endured plenty. We could win the F.A. Cup and before it's even lifted Reg would bemoan the fact that Europe would stretch our side thus resulting in oblivion. Portsmouth anyone? Hello Reg

It's very likely. Businesses usually take months to sell, although football clubs seem to be very different.

Indeed I would imagine that this has been ongoing since the summer when he first tried to sell us.

Very handy if, on the basis of heads of terms (if that's what is meant by initial agreement and it actually comes to fruition) someone's prepared to dip into their pocket for Martin and Hollands' extensions.

I Thought there were limits in place an emergency loan players could stay at a club (90 Days). Any longer than that I would be thinking of a permenant approach to be made as the only way round this. When does the Transfer window shut and could we still be active if The sale of the club is concluded soon, guess we will find out soon enough.
