good luck SSP. great move for him but i just hope that Sandy gray and co have got some good cash for that! great strike force for next season with Rory and Superchav. (somehow i think not)

PS why the wimbledon poll? who cares?

We all new it was coming but I feel very sad indeed. :(

The man is an absolute legend, and I so hope he goes on to prove himself in the Championship, then the Premiership.

Just hope we don't get Ipswich in one of the Cups as that would be soul destroying.

I need a drink.

Good luck Sam, thanks for 3 seasons of wonderful football. Your spirit, enthusiasm, professionalism and general approach to football should be admired by all.

I need a fucking drink now too. I genuinely feel a bit sick.
Might even consider making Portman Road my first match of the season, Hatrick debut against Cardiff City?

I've got nothing but respect for the guy, he fully deserves his chance to make it to the top.

what has annoyed me most is the peanuts paid for such a tallent.

£300k upfront (x% going to Chelski) then £150k next season.

Our board are cunts and i bet AK doesn't get a sniff of it either

you can only sell for what people want to pay but i reckon i would safely bet the fig on that site is crap.our site says undisclosed im going with that .i said it somewhere else but gutted he,s gone but we have made a profit either way and it pays a large part of a big debt for that im thankfull sorry.

Sandy Gray "Andy is looking and im sure he'll find a replacement". yeah right! he hasn't even signed 1 player yet! (shakes is only a verbal agreement) and its impossible to replace him really. good luck though King! i bet the board sold him for a poxy 300k (wouldnt surprise me) this is Swindon Town

It's a sad sad day  :cry:  but one we knew was coming.

Sam Parkin goes with my upmost respect and best wishes.  He truly has been one of the best players we have had during my years as a supporter to date.  I'll certainly be routing for Ipswich to get promoted next season.  Will be great to see SSP plying his trade at a higher level.  I will, as i am sure most Swindon fans,  follow his career and hope he achieves what he wants as he has undoubted abiity.

Best of luck SSP.  Thanks for the good times  :D

 MR.....when SSP signed a new contract his agent made sure that  he did so only on terms favourable to the player, but which didn't completely screw the club.....this was the 450K trigger fee once met.....then its up to the player to decide which club suited him best.....I'm sure he's probably raised his salary probably *5....4 years as well with signing fees bonuses etc .....so its good for him.

 We at least get 200K up front which will help see out this season.

Why are we not allowed to know?Nothing dodgy Ihope-most other clubs refer to us as Swindle Town(justifiably I'm afraid).Or is it too embarrassing a fee and general discontent is feared?

Well so long its been good to know you.Good luck and much appreciation for what you achieved at the CG.However I am no longer interested in you or your career unless we miraculously managed to secure a sell-on clause(oh,I forgot,thats what other clubs do).That may seem harsh but I'm only concerned about the Town-we got over Fjortoft,Shearer,Thorney etc.all players that performed at a higher level for us.

fucks sake you're all of a bunch of cunts, rather than wishing Sam well you're moaning at the board - you should fuck off to the adver forums and whinge over there, you fucking wankers.

Sam deserved the move, it's a very good one for him and I wish him all the luck in the world, I'll definitely be following his career at Ipswich next season.

You could look at it another way - the money from Sam has gone a LONG way to ensuring there is a club there next season and seasons after that.

 Ha ha, sonic you are a legend. tell it like it is, thats the best thing.... well somewhere between 450k and 750k, + chelsea taking maybe up to about half from the initial fee's so anywhere between 150k and 300k gone straight away.... hopefully sandy gray can sort something out with them, that isnt even pocket money to them they will wipe their arse with that.
be fair, we need your bog roll  :soapy tit wank:

It's a shame, obviously, he did us proud and will be a legend for many years to come. I thank him for the 3 years he gave us and wish him all the best for his future.

We need the cash though, end of. Football's a business nowadays and the money (however much it is) is desperately needed. He was our only saleable asset and the club cashed in.

I just hope Kingy gets a few quid for new signings.

(doubtful maybe, but I'm trying to be positive)

too be honest, i hope kingy doesnt get some of the money, i dont mean that in a horrible way to andy, but the moe money that goes into swindon the better, we are in a position we need all we can get... we cant go spending up to 100k and still expect Sir Seton Wills to bail us out again, now we have got some money, lets try and do as much as we can on our own

Bit sad that Adje, he always did his best for the town and never made claims like Smithy did that isn't great, isn't wonderful...How much?...right i'm off to City.

Good luck to him, will be a sad loss! Still, Kingys come up with some great players in the past, i'm sure he can do it again. We got an amazing striker for peanuts, and sold him on at a profit, with a shit load of goals into the bag. We aint done too badly really have we?
