If ever there was an example of why some of our Facebook fans are so naive in their support of Clem. Today I was at a kids party and one of the other Dads who I know is militant in his defence of Clem wandered across and said “rumour is Wayne Rooney was in Aldi on Drove Road yesterday” I laughed thinking he was joking and he followed up with “He would be a great appointment to get the fans back”

You really need to stop going to kids parties. It's not healthy  Thinking of heading onto THAT FB page and just commenting on any ridiculous comment that they're a cunt. Be interesting how long it takes to get banned. I know it's silly but the thing is, it'd probably have the most factual accuracy than what is generally posted on there. |

We were chatting about this the other day. I think the agreement was that we'd be lucky to top 3k given this season and what's happening off the field. |

I know this isn't the preferred option but if in theory we went in to admin, could/would the administrators look at the outgoings at the club and fuck the likes of Adam Harts strength and conditioning fees off for example?
Might be the next best option to starting again.

Don't think administration will be an option. Don't think there are any secured creditors apart from 'unsavoury characters' who wouldn't petition for administration gor obvious reasons. Key question is probably how long the contracts are that are financially depleting the club. If they are long-term then the club is finished. The best things that fans should do in the circumstances is to stop going to games to try and bring matters to a head. It would be better than another 10 years of decay. |

Not sure I follow. Don't think administration would be an option in the current circumstances. |

About 20 odd years ago I think admin was like three strikes and you’re out.
Third time would be bankruptcy & expulsion.
However, now a days I think clubs don’t really go into admin do they? Owners plug the gaps with director loans meaning there are no external creditors.

Clem would have to put us into Admin then the Administrators would agree a % in the £ to the people we owe money to which is Clem. So he’d be basically doing himself out of money - so won’t ever happen.

Wasn’t there a time limit on the 3 times, so if the 3rd one was within x years you’re out. Although as you say, as most of the money we owe is to Clem he’s hardly going to force us into admin, unless it becomes cheaper to do that. |

I think administration can only apply if a secured creditor petitions for winding up. The most common creditor who brings petitions against football clubs is HMRC but this wouldn't be administration but liquidation. As I said I don't think administration would happen in Swindon's circumstances. In any case in administration I don't think contracts are legally voidable. A buyer would have to take on the contracts of the club and which buyer in their right mind would do that in the current circumstances. Liquidation would get rid of these contracts but the club would have to start again. |
