Further £2 million investment by current board members

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I love their optimistic "It's all going to end in tears!" approach.

I suppose it's all they've got?

In fairness, there are some pretty sensible posts on there...

Haha theres a golden one on there now.

Disgusting club apparently.

Pretty much the same on the Creepy forum too, some wierd and ironic comments considering their "hidden investment" of last season and the previous one.

"Moneybags" Swindon have just announced £2m extra investment, not revealed sources so a job for Rod Twaddle (or David Conn if he can get of his lazy *beep*?).
How can they use this funding and still keep within Fair Play rules, which I assume would take account of this money?

Think it's pretty disgraceful if Swindon can get away with that.... is the fair play rule compulsory or just voluntary?

There are always rumours like that circling whenever a club is backed by mysterious "money men" and seems unlikely considering they've just got promoted. There's not much doubt that Swindon are racking up fairly large debts again though.

And some pretty dense ones to even it all out

It's laughable.

'Mysterious money men'...all named in the annual FourFourTwo rich list.

Despite relegation,our turnover would've gone up due to the match day ticket price rise, some decent cup runs for a change including a day out at Wembley. Didn't Nick Watkins say before the start of the last season the wage bill was reduced by £500k. I know a few more players were signed but I believe the wage bill was in credit compared to the previous season.

Also, sides forget that we never spent the money we got from Burnley for Austin, circa £1m.

And I believe there is a rule on capital investment, in ground/players.

And for us to be accused by Creepy, who seem to blantantly lie about their crowds towards the end of the season...well, pot, kettle, black.

All in all...fuck them.

I think an Oxford fan within one of those links was right when they said that none of them would be discussing it if the news didn't involve Swindon Town.

Town's Board are backing the club they own and it seems to be confusing the hell out of supporters who don't like Swindon.
