From SSW in the next few days, written by the parasite himself Diamandis

It will be the usual along the lines of:

We have saved you so much in he past and will be surrounded by more emotional blackmail etc etc- we will pull out if you do not shut up attacking us

Just to prepare you all, along the lines of they are the only alternative- well let me tell you they are NOT. Under their stewardship this club is heading for oblivion and the non leagues at best

cant you put all of this in one fucking topic?

i'd assume not dv. he's not a mod

BART FOR MOD!

you dont have to be a mod, to open up a topic and click post reply....

i did

To be fair, this is the one of the biggest weeks for the club in years.

Need Town fans to wake up a bit. OK STFC Bart isnt the greatest poster weve ever had. But he was right about Power (I was one of the ones telling him he was an idiot 4 days ago) and next week he will be right about Devlin.

Im affraid if you are sick of it all already, its only just getting started.

by the way Bart it's "Expect A Statement" not AN you fool

Spencer Diamandis is a cunt. Nothing else.

Our club will continue to slowly die whilst being drip fed, next season if not this it will be the conference.

No money will be invested in a squad- whatsoever

Bart how many times have you used the term 'drip fed'?! Work that one out

How can we be in the conference this season?  :|

Dont joke about it Reeves

Com January`there will be MASSIVE cutbacks to the squad and it is likely it will be made up of kids again and loans as last season.

Whilst we may have thepoints to keep us safe this year- next season with this regime here do not hold your breath......

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

what's your solution Bart once Diamandis goes away?  I don't know what your agenda is,mine might be "better the devil you know" perhaps?

Maybe i'm just being really naive here (and I know the problem will probably run a lot deeper) but with regards to the playing budget, isn't it only Ince putting us above the 60% wage structure. Therefore can't we just get rid of him?

With regards to Devlin it would be one of the worst moves this club has made in the recent future if they were to get rid of him!

Believe me it isnt

You will find more severe cutbacks inthe playing budgets year on year- leading to likely relegation which will mean the end of the club anyway

bart are you connected to the club in any way other than a supporter? Were you sacked by the newbury lot?

I'm sorry, but until I see concrete proof I suggest we don't believe a word of this nonsense.

Where's your proof of this?

Show me the proof and I'll believe you.

If the club state the money side is not as bad as it has been, and that it is 'manageable' then why are people bothered about it being over 60% for players with ince on board???
Is the whole point about everyone's upset not that they want the team to succeed???

I mean I know I certainly dont agree with a lot of whats happening at the minute, but Power or no Power, in fact even Wise or no Wise....at least all parties seem to be saying the same thing.......that they want to focus the budget more on the team than the rest....hence over 60% on the team and then cut back to less than 40% on the rest!

At the end of the day, unless some tycoon has an off day and mistakes us for a profitable company, or I win the lottery, we are not going to get an investor in any time soon, so surely their focus on the team should be the one shining light in an otherwise drastic mess???

SSW and co. arent prepared to invest more than the lifeline they have been supplying to us (for which we should still be very greatful!), so perhaps putting the Power thing aside (which for all we know could well be solely due to his health as he had said!) we should cut them some slack for now and see what the next month or so brings?

Us slagging off the only people who have stood up and saved this club, isnt going to keep Wise and co. nor is it going to encourage the team......so maybe the best thing to do would be to stop the speculation and get behind the team.....after all.... like the mighty Van Wilder said, "worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesnt get you anywhere!"

Lets just have a great away attandance at Wycombe, get behind the lads and show them that THEY are the reasons we go each week and we are right behind them!!!

To be fair, I've heard nothing that suggests a playing budget cutback this year.  That one would be a new one to me.

So would it not be logical then, that if no one intends to ct back on the playing budget, and that having heard from the board that they specifically want to focus spending on the team, that all still involved are working for the team to succeed this year and get us back up into league 1???
Following that, does that not show people that despite their differences of opinions on how the matters are run, that the club as a whole are doing what they deem best to help the team achieve.

Bare in mind also that without an investor stepping in, the best source of inmcone we could hope for is promotion and thats what our how club is geared towards this year!

I am not so pesimistic about the situation, dont get me wrong i'm not in full agreement with current ongoings, but i dont see reason for mass concern at this stage......am I wrong?

No, you're absolutely correct.

Statement on Official site now.

says fuck all about whats happening with  Devlin

maybe hes Bart in disguise?  :wink:

apart from the fact they twice allude to "Executives" and "Chief Exectuive" with regards to the budget for expenditure, and an internal investigation going on (although again we know from statements of both sides that Devlin has not been talked to or been at work).

People may think people like me are stirring, although given my past 12 months I'm not sure why I'd sudenly do that, but some the "rumours" suggested that Devlin was about to be placed in a position where he could be dismissed or forced to resign.  That does not seem to be happening (combined this statement with 2 previous ones about Devlin's actions).

There is also a clear mention of the form the investment took not being agreed by either party.  Sounds like the stuff of good friends that.  Ok, Power would undoubtably taken stock after the crash, by why would he not just pull out but also request his money back (which he'll know has been spent so it means someone finding 1.2m for him if he is right and not the club)

basically says shut the fuck up if you're gobby shit stirring tosspot, dunnit?

An dog on an skateboard that accidentally hangs itself and sets on fire

im not ashamed to say i dont understand that last statement

To all the cynics, the team WILL be put on life support under Dunwoody. The next available opportunity will be the january window.

Look at summer 04-late 06, the last time they ran the club. They see no sense in investing in the football team anymore and have no intention to, even SSW as said that he wasnt prepared to put anymore money in to strengthen (which is a FACT, BTW).

So while you are all feeling smug about how poor STFCBart's grammar is, he will be prooved mostly correct (again), and we will all be left with a shit team (again).

It is in out best interests for all of us fans to get together in large numbers and push and push until this board is gone.

I do believe that if we pushed this board out then someone would step in and save us, i could be wrong but hopefully that would be the case.

Maybe Power would step back in and take control of the club, maybe honda would come back in or maybe some other big investor will step in to save us but we cannot carry on in this way because we will be left with no ambition, a shit team, a shit manager and the only way we will be going is down, down, down.

Im sorry matey. But you are another no mark 30 posts man.

Cue about 300 people ripping your argument to shreds. Im affraid kids doing this is better proprganda for Dunwoody than STFC press releases.

You have no proof though thats just your opinion.

Im certainly not sticking up for the board and would be happy if the went but these current chinese whispers are getting completely out of hand.As far as im concerned  only two people can clear this up once and for all and thats Power or Devlin.Until either speak up Im accepting that Power has given up due to ill health.Nearly dieing is life changing,he has no real ties to the club I cant see why its so impossible to belive that he just thought "fuck it"?

Theres so much been written on here ,so many different versions from people who think they are in the know but aren't I think I may have lost sight of what we are supposed to be angry about.I was under the impression we were angry because Diamandos and co have forced Power out am I right?

Well that's the long and short of the rumours - which have been denied by the club today.

I'm with you - I've heard plenty from behind the scenes ... I even know some of it ... but despite this lot being clowns, give them their due, they've kept us afloat during some desperate times. Do we not remember nearly going bust?

I'm so sick of all that is going on right now. There are so many rumours and counter rumours that until I hear or see something like the statement today then I'm not going to believe it.

If we need to fight something needs to happen - nothing has happened yet.

Its not as if there are any credible replacements lined up.

Unless thats something else I dont know about?

If you just read all of the club's statements as simple gospel truth, then of course there's nothing wrong except a bit of a cashflow problem.

The real issue is that a great deal of reading between the lines is needed to even get close to the truth, as so many things don't make sense - Power's sudden departure due to ill health but asking for his money back, Linda's sacking despite Wise offering to pay her wages.

I'm not claiming to have any huge inside knowledge but I've been told things from sources closer to the club than 99% of us and have no reason to distrust them.

The single most irksome issue of all is that of proof; namely that there is none either way and I doubt there ever will be. The club's official line won't falter in the slightest as more and more rumours emerge.
