Some of you people are unbeliavable. You would rather that the club went to the wall as long as you had the forum to moan about it. i'd rather see the club go under than survive on life support under the ownership of the wills family and diamandis. call it euthanasia if you will. Try to think of it as a) The continuation of the club, b) The possibility of some good quality signings, c) The possibility of a ground refurbishment. if the new consortium takeover the club entirely and involvement of the wills family and diamandis ceases, i will be absolutely thrilled. totally delighted. however, if this just means new board members controlled by the same ownership then essentially nothing will change, so the likelihood of the above three scenarios happening is minimal. Quite frankly as a supporter of 40 years standing I am glad that the "political bullshit" that you lot have been spouting will surely be coming to an end!- Trust my arse! bollocks. every single one of the trust members cares passionately about the future of this football club. none of us have enjoyed this political bullshit, least of all myself. Well said Sonic!!! Hear Hear! :goodpost: |

I doubt if any current staff will be moving on, message I received last Friday.
I am very very hopeful that on Monday we will finally be able to put out
the type of positive statement that the fans of this club deserve...and
despite all the rumours/worries re June 30th no-one here is going to be
looking for alternative employment next week...
I appreciate your patience must be wearing thin but please bear with me
on this one...
That was the reason I was so confident a message would come on Monday.

I think we can clearly say that the consortium is not the fans consortium and it looks like bill's chances of taking over the club are over.  |

Isn't the statement just a rather wordy way of saying what they have in the past few weeks? it doesn't state the deal is done, it doesn't say it is, it doesn't state the way it will be done, how they will operate etc.
Now, that's not to say that if this does indeed turn out to be a TAKEOVER by someone outside the current lot, and Diamandis/Dunwoody are exorcised from the club, then I would support it whole heartedly (subject to knowing their intentions).
We need to know the following really:
a) How much money is involved
b) What are they clearing (debt wise)
c) What are their future plans - I want a commitment to never moving outside of Swindon or at the very worst the immediate area (meaning Bassett at an absolute push).
d) Who will be involved in running the club (not just employed people, but anyone with an influence)
e) Will we get a cast iron guarentee that the people who got us where we are today fuck off for good
f) which is more of a like to have, what will their plans be to involve fans to ensure this horrible situation never happens again.

I cant be arsed to read everything, so....
will this new consortium pay Bill back his money?
why have the board had to get a new consortium to pump money in when they had one ready and waiting.
why are the board so against Power and the Trust, so much so they'd actually risk the long term future of the club.....unless this new consortium has been up their sleeve for the best part of a year.

Major and most important factors are: 1. New Cash (CVA Payment & Sturrock's Spending money for Players) 2. Any new Investor Will most likely have made or earn't money in "proper business" and therefore will have a good business acumen 3. Any New investor will want to bring his own people in to run key (off Field) positions in the club. 4. If they have previous back ground in footballo, they will know that to ensure the long term future of STFC ground redevlopment will be require (and it seems that they have a few £££'s I think as Mexcio said Open minds are required. The new Incumbents can't change everything overnight but Please lets hope that they made good choices early. |
