You forgot Publicity Pete Ridsdale...wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't called in as a consultant.

However the  want to dress it up, this is a catastrophe.

At the time of the first admin, most were a bit blaze about it..."well we're going down anyway, sell a few players, wipe out some debt, and maybe get in some new investors. Div 3 is our natural territory."  We got the Brady bunch...looking for a quick buck, saddled the club with even more debt, and Ruddock and promptly fucked off into the night. We've not been back to Div 2 since. The second admin, just about saved the club from closure, but we limped on to relegation to Div 4, on the back of Diamond Mike's football entrepreneurship.  The original "Consortium's" comedic incompetence at least galvanised the fans into the "back of the Town End spring"

I'm not sure how much will there is left amongst the fans, if we get shafted again by a sale to some dodgy operators.

Must admit that I did have to do a quick Google this afternoon to make sure he was still in work at the moment.

No, it isn't.  The club going out of business would be a catastrophe.  We're nowhere near that yet.

You are prone to hyperbole, Reg.

To be fair Reg "this" isn't anything yet. It's not administration, it's the current owner's had enough and wants to sell up (and is having a bit of a spat with his former partners as a side issue which is where I suspect today's brouhahah comes from).

It's a worry if he's in a hurry to get out as it makes a quick sale to someone shonky more likely and it's a worry if it becomes a protracted process as that also makes a quick sale and/or pulling the plug altogether more likely but there's been nothing in today's sound and fury to justify either outcome as likely.

Assuming you're not taking the piss...

Always a possibility

Always a possibility

I wish it was a piss taking matter, but this is serious....everyone I've spoken to today, whether Town fans, occasional fans, or neutrals, sees it as such.

The point I started to make back up the thread, was that the previous problems were somehow understandable, given the people involved...it was not completely unexpected that things would go tits up.

People had got used to feeling good about the club again, not something to be sniffed at....people had come to trust the Board and employees of the club...now in danger of being thrown away.

Oi Shrewsbury, yeh you, yeh you, looking at me right now, I used to live in your town, drunk in every one of your pubs, every day of the week. The Yorkshire House, The Nags House, The Albion, The Hole in The Wall. Always held you in nigglesome disregard. We are the consumate object of your aspiration  Your boys will take one hell of a beating on Saturday

Speculate to accumulate, he who dares wins, lovely jubbly, thank the day Swindon Town FC are my club. You have always been my numero dos grudge match, I dislike you with a passion. You found a new enemy in us ,you cunts. Don't think you'll be met with a happy welcome on Saturday

[Dostoyevsky]

A taster of what these odious reptillian no marks are saying

Walcotwag-

"there is a golden glowing ring around the county ground known locally as the arsehole of wiltshire "

You are not welcome in our pubs, let that be clear. No bonhomie, no nothing, you insufferable cunts.

GOING BUST GOING BUST GOING BUST!!!

That League 2 title is effectively ours!

Even with all the MASSIVE over spending, it took a disgraceful referee for them to win it

Paolo who?!

----------------------

Going insipid, and sanitised in your clip-art lion, energy sapped nothingness of an excuse for a club, you Shrewsbury cunts. Going mundane, going anaemic, drudgery of an existence, life-sentence of everlasting nothingness.

You can add the Kuwaiti's at Forest. Just sacked the Chief Exec, Chief Scout and club ambassador Frank Clark.

[walcot red]

Is the Shrews anger at us all because we charged them £25 a ticket?

[fatbasher]

Adrian Durham is a cunt. What a twat

For those of us who do not follow twitter what did the man say?
