Sturrock: Takeover Will Not Benefit the club

[Sharky]

So you're either associated with the board, the creditors or the administrator. Which is it?

I'm not associated with any of these and it is very narrow minded given the current situation the club finds themselves in to assume these are the only parties with an interest.

Can you tell me what these alternatives are?

Outside investment from an as yet un-named investor

Sturrock won't leave because of a change in the board room.  Matty seriously do you expect Sturrock to come out and back a takeover, publically going against his present employers.  it's a nothing story, do not be disheartened this should make us stick at it.

[Fred Elliot]

Good post Matt, and very valid points.

At the end of the day though, the board has said that they cannot finance the CVA.

Come June next year we wont have a club - simple as that

The board were hoping to have the ground redevelopment in full swing by now and use that as security to borrow against, but to put it bluntly the plans that we submitted by them were nothing short of Primary School standard.

With the greatest resxpect to Sturrock, he needs to concentrate on the football affairs of the club, as he so publically requested to be left alone to do when he joined us.

I have posted elsewhere that this is a classic PR move by the goons at the CG to garner support from the "silent majority"

Mr Sturrock has been manouvered into this position and coersed into issueing this statement.

I feel sorry for him

You've either bought the boards bullshit, or you're deluded

If I was Bill Gates or Richard Branson would you say the same thing to me?

Who said I was basing this potential alternative on anything the board have or have not said?

Absolutely, there is no way you'd be investing in this club.

If you are an ordinary fan, and not connected in any way with the board or peripherals, then what other sources do you have? If you've got something to say.... be my guest

Well get your out from your arse, tell us who you are and stop playing the big 'I am'.

Funnily enough I do not have to explain myself to you or any of the swindon town fans, but you do not know me, who i work for or what my interest is outside of being a fan so dont come at me so aggressively like you know something you dont.

If I was (for example) a potential investor or connected to one who had decided to get involved in the fans debate to see what interest they showed in receiving outside investment from a third party and what it truely was the fans wanted to happen to the club, then people such as yourself are the ones that would put me off the idea of helping with the "nothing anyone else says is valid or worthy of a debate" attitude.

Only time will tell if another investor wishes to declare their interest in taking the club forward...you know no more than any other swindon fan

I have not claimed to be anyone have I!
You guys are incredibly fickle arent you....I merely denied that I have any link with the board, CVA, consortium, Trust and yet you take that as I am claiming to be someone???

No wonder the board find it hard to please some of you as you make thingss up in your little minds....

I could be a nobody, I could be a somebody, unless I want to tell you, which I dont, then its none of your business is it!

[stfctownenda]

If you throw in questions like I am not in a position where I can get involved, you leaving inuendos that you may be someone Sharkey at the moment you are contradicting yourself more than the board statements  :shock:

[Samdy Gray]

That's exactly what I'm on about. You come on here harping 'I could be this, I could be that'.

Face it, you have different views and opinions about the club/current board to the majority of us on here and I certainly don't think you're an ordinary fan. You act just like the board, no transparency at all.

And you seem like you're trying to cover something up.

Aggressive?! I didn't swear or anything, just fed up of you giving it the old "i know something you don't know" routine. Explain yourself and i'll give you creedance, until then, i'll treat you as a shit-stirrer.

If I was (for example) a potential investor or connected to one who had decided to get involved in the fans debate to see what interest they showed in receiving outside investment from a third party and what it truely was the fans wanted to happen to the club, then people such as yourself are the ones that would put me off the idea of helping with the "nothing anyone else says is valid or worthy of a debate" attitude.

Are you an investor? No. Because if you were, you sure as hell wouldn't be on here spouting BS.

Only time will tell if another investor wishes to declare their interest in taking the club forward...you know no more than any other swindon fan

Oh fuck off! All i know is of the concrete plans that Bill Power and the trust have proposed. Until, i know of anyone else's plans for serious investment, then i shall stand corrected. Until then, i shan't be taking your say so

[Sharky]

If you throw in questions like I am not in a position where I can get involved, you leaving inuendos that you may be someone Sharkey at the moment you are contradicting yourself more than the board statements  :shock:

In that case I apologise for my vague comments however if you were in my shoes you would appreciate where I am coming from...By all accounts however, if i was 11 years old I would not be in a position to get involved so my comments were never meant to lead towards any particular conclusion.

Do you not call this a debate? And what with this attitude?
the attitude you refer is totally predictable in light of the past 5 years with the current board,  the stagnation of the business of STFC and the backwards movement of the footballing side. fans want whats best for the club, and you have to accept that the majority of fans will have had enough of this regime now.
the consortium offers another opportunity for the club which is clearly embraced by fans, because its for the fans.

Sharkey earlier you mention an attendence poll or something along those line, stating 2 times the numberof trust members is still a minority. but you are estimating or putting a ball park figure on it. i for one do not know how many people support the consortium and orange revolution, and neither to you. so as you say stick to the facts
