News of the World yesterday Mike Ashley says the Newcastle takeover was completed in 72 hours ... and they were £100million in debt.
So how come with Swindon, who are £18m in debt, it has been taking weeks if not months to complete a deal?
Just thought it was worth pointing out ...

one word and it starts with a D... Damned ... yes, that's the future of our club at the rate we're going! I just find it amazing that these things take so long when Newcastle, in a similar situation (just larger as the club is in the prem) takes so much a shorter time. Just goes to show when there's a will to do things quickly there is a way ... |

So how come with Swindon, who are £18m in debt, it has been taking weeks if not months to complete a deal?
Just thought it was worth pointing out ... Would that be because they're a Premiership club with a turnover over 10 times larger than ours, own their own 50,000 seat plus stadium and associated leisure complex and get an average home gate of over 40,000? |

Yes, but in proportion, we're say ... 10 times smaller a club in terms of attendance ... and 10 times less in debt ... so I don't see why they can't pull their finger out of their arse and get themselves sorted. I agree, though, Lumps - the size of Newcastle obviously helps ... But still ... |
