I might be clutching at straws, but Paolo was happy with progress on the takeover a few days ago, which presumably meant whoever we were talking to were happy to stick in a few quid (especially with the knowledge AB would write off all that debt). If we assume the Banbury consortium have been front runners for a few days, then hopefully when it is confirmed we will also hear about a big injection of cash.
I really do hope the above is true. Selling someone to get through the next month or two is kinda logical. I can understand a potential owner not wanting to fork out 250k/500k at risk, especially if they've had their fingers burnt before. But MR, for that fee, to rivals, is absolutely fucking appalling.
With all due respect, if we're relying on Di Canio's sound fiscal judgement to do due diligence on the new consortium then clutching at straws doesn't even begin to cover it.
It's worth clutching every now and again |

The sale of Ritchie and the exchange of contracts was clearly all part of the deal.

The information available at the moment is that Jed Nobody who was not allowed by the FA to buy Luton Town as he was too skint, is now in the final stages of buying Swindon, nothing else is yet known about his "consortium" other then the first thing they have done is to sell a player for far less then his market value to get some much needed cash in quick, not sounding that great at the moment but will see how it plays out over the next few days.

Just seems to me that the fans have been done over again, may be wrong annd I hope I am, but if they cannot complete for a few days there is no way we can get players in tomorrow - unless they have promised PDC a wedge of it to spend, ie still with the old directors, yet somehow I cannot prospective new owners sanctioing the spending of any money right now. Dream over guys!

Ritchie going seems odd in all this... lots of clarification needed. There is an awful stench about all that has gone on
Can't help but agree with this.. |

TBH, they can send out all the positive press releases and messages they like. The desperate sale of Ritchie for a shocking cut price fee cuts straight through all the bullshit and tells us everything we need to know about the type of people taking us over.
