Administration

[Samdy Gray]

Well that's complete bollocks. You only pay corporation tax on profits and we made a loss. You'd struggle to find any football club paying corporation tax.

Read this on an Oxford forum so possibly bullshit -

A major factor in Swindon's demise have been the actions of Her Majesty's Treasury who have cut a tax loophole that the dirty thieving bastards were using to avoid paying National Insurance and Corporation Tax. Players were being paid 'gifts' from a holding company registered in the tax haven of Lichtenstein set up by Black and fellow wide-boy directors. STFC paid only 0.5% of their income in corporation tax last year. When this loophole was closed Black's enthusiasm for funding Di Canio's wild spending sprees very quickly cooled.

They love a good old yarn about the finances of our club on there anyone would think they are actually running the club very very sad and deluded as always and will always be in our shadow

I bet they were all like the 14 year old kid who found his first porn mag last night. I suspect a lot of "women" went sex starved last night as the blokes were locked in the bog tossing themselves over the news.

The dedication they show to making up and talking shit is amusing

Dear Fallopian Tube,

I doubt many Swindon fans honestly think we are a big club in the general scheme of things, but one thing is for sure:

we are a darn sight bigger than you.

If you would like to counter this with some proof of Shewsbury's exploits down the years, please feel free.

Surely proof positive must be your new stadium - the capacity of which is hardly a ringing endorsement of your club's ambitions.

While there is no shame in supporting a 'small' club, it really shouldn't get up your nose when other clubs attempt to better themselves by moving up the food chain.

“Swindon are a big club in this division, but the tendency is for us is to rise to the occasion and that’s what we’ve got to do again,” said Turner.

Sweet that they're all singing from the same hymn sheet..

Poor psychology in an attempt to get their players "up for it". No doubt the Shrews are hard to beat right now but they need to be warned  - Thamesdown transport have suspended buses so bring their own to park in front of the goal. Turnerzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Graham Turner must be on the monkey glands - he's got to be older than God.

Shrewsbury have got a firm?? I've been up there a few times and only had a run in once, which lasted a few seconds. I thought they were a bunch of fucking gayers which would exclude them from going to home games.

[Notts red]

With the road around me being the way they are I'm going nowhere. But I'll be at the rearranged game when it does eventually (fingers crossed) call the game off.

I hope they don't all make excuses like this.Was hoping they would bring more than the 200 last time.Got a feeling we may be awarded one or two spot kicks and Turner will need restraining

Everytime i see Turner interviewed on the box he is always standing in front of their dugout droning on like some kind of woman waiting to have her period.

I am going to India tomorrow for 2 weeks and ma due to attend a film ceremony which is packed with Bollywood A-Listers.

More than willing to sound a few out about buying into the town.  Or as a result of Venkys are Indian owners not appealing to anyone?

So long as they are not Ghai's ... they could be banned from Shrews if we ever play there again after tomorrow.

Must have a very good botox surgeon then! He does look like he has a plastic face, or maybe even a mask! Never changes!

Im finding this all a bit weird.  A thread about our financial situation has turned into a thread about some sort of rivalry with some club I really dont give a shit about.  Dosteyevsky has gone from a bit mental into full on charlie sheen on a weekend bender levels of hysterical mentalness.  There seems to be a bit of green street, some racist and homophobia discussion as well.  Its a bit odd.

In the meantime we have our chairman wanting to sell and the football world declaring we are disgusting whilst other examples of football excess go unremarked upon (afcb signing 2 permanent and 1 loan deal today.  How many players and how much in wages do they actually need to spend) ignorant of the fact that all that's happened is that we have run up debt which is about a third of that championship bristol city are run up in one year but we've taken over 5 years to do it.  

Apparently whilst in league 1 Huddersfield (accoriding to one of their own fan) says that their wage bill was not the highest at 7.5mill.  And a doncaster fan reckons their wage bill is 0.9 mill higher than ours this season as it stands.  But we are still villified by idiots as a shocking example of excess.

In the 5 years the current people have been in charge we've had great entertainment (allright we've had paul hart as well but that was still entertaining watching his 4-3-3 not 4-5-1 discussions).

Hopefully someone will buy us, Im not really worried.  Its all part of the rollercoaster of being forever STFC.
