Title: Statement Thursday Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 16:44:10 Lee Power to hold a press conference tomorrow.
Nobody appears to know what it's about Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: BruceChatwin on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 16:53:42 Contract extensions perhaps?
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: redlodge red on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 16:56:44 some billionaire investment in the club :pint:
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 16:57:24 Not something that would warrant a press conference, I think. More a press release for that.
Maybe he's press-ganged some unsuspecting billionaire to bankroll us or redevelopment of the TE Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 16:58:24 Training ground maybe, someone mentioned it in another thread.
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 16:59:51 A player was scheduled to do the press conf tomorrow until suddenly changed at 5pm today
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Sir Pissalot on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 17:00:06 Jed's coming back to finish the Town End bar.
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Mplanney on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 17:00:22 Just hoping its good news, all seems to be going too well at the moment
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Flashheart on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 17:02:51 Training ground maybe, someone mentioned it in another thread. I saw that mentioned somewhere. That could well be it. Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 17:04:51 Bit 'faggy' to warrant a press conf, though.
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 17:17:07 Tim Sherwood coming in as Director of Football......hides behind sofa....
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Mplanney on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 17:20:29 Tim Sherwood coming in as Director of Football......hides behind sofa.... That was my thought, pure guess work mind. Not sure we want to upset the current setup though if it does turn out to be correctTitle: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 17:20:51 Just hoping its good news, all seems to be going too well at the moment My first thoughts were firmly with the OTIB poster, who said that we're always on the verge of implosion....would be very sad :( Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: corner on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 17:22:34 Do we have a time?
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 17:25:28 Do we have a time? Yeah its 6.25pm ;)Title: Re: Sv: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 17:57:13 My first thoughts were firmly with the OTIB poster, who said that we're always on the verge of implosion....would be very sad :( We can only hope. We're worryingly short of things to moan about and it's been a while since we had genuine cause to be concerned over the future of the club.Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: chalkies_shorts on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 18:02:44 I should never have taken the piss out of the 1950 debt - the bailiffs are coming.
Title: Re: Sv: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 18:11:40 We can only hope. We're worryingly short of things to moan about and it's been a while since we had genuine cause to be concerned over the future of the club. Of course time is relative, but back in the summer there was plenty to worry about with the Court Case, now that doesn't seem like such a long time ago to me. I'm encouraged though by the fact that the Trust now has a 1000 members, so if the shit is about to hit the fan again, someone will be around to pick up the pieces. Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 18:14:37 Jeez, we've just about put the wheels back on the cart following the last few years!!! Hope this is good news...
Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 18:16:02 Ut-oh .. I don't like the sound of this..
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: CalRed45 on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 18:18:22 Best case scenario- someone has a new contract
Worst case scenario- we owe a lot of money Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: steveg on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 18:33:31 Hope I'm wrong in thinking its a lack of funds issue ?!
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 18:33:52 I should never have taken the piss out of the 1950 debt - the bailiffs are coming. That's it. Isnt that programme about the dodgy bailiffs on tonight or tomorrow? will be to put the record straight on that I bet.

Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 18:49:41 Flic's ASD, which incidentally sounds like an STD, has been assured it's nothing major.
Stand down. Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Exiled Bob on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 18:56:16 I'm guessing it's something to do with Jed. During the court case Power stated that McCrory had been found out stealing money from the club.....and afterwards he mentioned that there was an ongoing claim against McCrory and Murrell. Could be a follow up on that or just an announcement that the saga is finally over.
Title: Re: Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 19:13:26 Flic's ASD, which incidentally sounds like an STD, has been assured it's nothing major. Stand down. Phew.... Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Posh Red on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 19:15:31 Is it to announce that he has voted for Millwall's pink kit ;)

Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 20:57:41 Not on. Boo. Or is that hoooray
Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 07:05:33 Well, not long to wait to find out what it is. As long as we aren't going bust or installing a plastic pitch I'm happy. Probably.

Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: lambourn red on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 08:42:19 Now http://swindonlinksport.com/swindon_sports_news/leepowerlive
09:41 Power: "It's well known I make the signings at this football club, and I think they have all been good ones." Comments(0) 09:40 Power: "At the end of the day we had to sell Louis, he deserved his chance and it was the right move. It brought in some good money and I negotiated to have him here until the end of this season. That's why this season is so important." Comments(0) 09:39 Power: "We have to stick together, these players deserve to play in front of full houses." Comments(0) 09:38 Power: "I've put £3.5m into this place and we're at break even now, the football club doesn't lose money." Comments(0) 09:38 Power: "We're speaking to four or five other players about extensions and I'll let you all know when they are done." Comments(0) 09:36 NT: "The unity we have in this team can really push us forward and get us promotion this season." Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: lambourn red on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 08:50:23 Power: "We do everything backwards at this football club, I don't know why. When I came into this club Saddam Hussain may have been more welcome than me. :D
"We've wiped the debt and the club's break even, we have a team of assets playing great football and we've done out bit. "We've discounted tickets sitting second in the league, teams do don't that, and we need the fans' help now." :clap: Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Red Frog on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 08:51:12 This is the important bit for me. For once a young footballer recognising that he might develop a better career at the heart of a smaller team for a fraction of his maximum potential short-term earnings, rather than rotting in the reserves of a bigger club, raking in the cash until he's kicked out to try and rebuild a career somewhere else.
Quote Nathan Thompson; "This is the best football the team's played an in order to progress I think it's important to stay here," Comments(0) 10:34 "Nathan staying shows where we are at this moment, and it's a massive, massive signing that the leader of this group has decided to stay and gamble his future. "I can't emphasise how big this is." Comments(0) 10:33 "Nathan is a man and the leader of this team. He had the chance to leave on a free transfer at the end of this season and earn double or even treble what I am paying him, but he's decided to stay. "He and I feel we have something special, we've won nothing and just done well for 11 or 12 games, but I've never seen a hunger and togetherness like this before." Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Matt71 on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 08:58:13 "New bespoke training ground hopefully by the start of next season,currently in discussions with two parties however not in the borough of Swindon unless council can let the club know of any sites" don't hold your breath on that one Lee.
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Abrahammer on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 08:59:54 "Power says he hopes to announce a new deal for Jake Reeves early next week"
This is a good morning Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: stfc1975 on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 09:06:41 Great news. Let's hope people take up the new incentives on tickets.
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: kerry red on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 09:09:50 Bit of a Churchillian rallying cry from Power to get the somnolent people of Swindon off their arse and into the CG.
He is feeling the same as most of us (less Reg, of course) that we could be on the cusp of something good. Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 09:10:29 So this is pretty much a good news press conference then.
Break even, Thompson contract, new training facilities. I'm confused. Where is the bad news bombshell? Title: Re: Re: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Batch on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 09:11:58 You on predictive text? What gave it away.Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 09:13:50 To be fair to Power he always comes accross well in interviews and says the right things.
He seems to have an eye for a bargain too on the pitch. Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 09:16:13 I'm confused. Where is the bad news bombshell? Heres a blonde bombshell if thats of any use.(http://33.media.tumblr.com/92a134b16515236cbc28c0fe73fe4c23/tumblr_mqul3d3z9p1rcqdieo1_250.gif) Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Flashheart on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 09:19:17 She's going to stain her white pillows with all that make-up!
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 09:21:55 She's going to stain her white pillows with all that make-up! Probably not the only stains... Think Power needs to realise that Saddam is popular with the fans, as without him we wouldn't have got Yaser Kasim Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 09:59:43 What position does this Hussein chap play?
Title: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: lambourn red on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 10:07:50 What position does this Hussein chap play?

This is huge. That's a massive achievementTitle: Re: Statement Thursday Post by: chalkies_shorts on Thursday, October 9, 2014, 11:13:03 Its not only a good rallying cry to the fans but also to potential investors. I would have thought we would be quite an attractive proposition now.
