The way I see it; Paolo wanted to vent and he doesn't have a chairman to vent at, so he does it in public. Maybe he's trying to force someone's hand, he's done it before.
All in all though, a pretty shit week for the club.

Problem is nothing can progress until the FA pull their fat fucking fingers out of their arses and approve our take over. The longer they take over this, the more fucked up our club will be in the long run. First no transfers, now Di Canio considering position. Cunts

I think it's fair to say there isn't a much worse way the new guys could have come in to take control.
Selling our best player for peanuts and in doing so seemingly forcing out the best manager we've had in decades.
Not exactly gone well has it?

Well this is a complete disaster, we've lurched from one thing to the next over the last couple of weeks. I think from PDC's comment that you can almost certainly be sure that Fitton & Wray are not involved in the consortium though

What a mess. Paolo's threatened to resign before, but I can see why he's so upset. Jedward might want to stay clear of Swindon for a while.

Correct me if i'm wrong but i'm fairly sure it wasn't the new owners decision to sell Ritchie. I'd guess they aren't having any involvement until it's approved. |

I read it as it was a case of the takeover wouldn't happen if he didn't go, kind of an agreement between the two owners to tide the club over between them. Both parties at fault IMO. |

Ritchie seemed to suggest his being sold was at the new owners demand. Came out like a freudian slip he tried to backtrack on. |

The worst bit for me is the prospect of going from a club owned by multi-millionaire astute businessmen with a world renowned manager, to a club owned by a double glazing salesman and his mates with a lower league has-been for a manager.
The sooner we find out who this consortium is, the better.

This. It would be such a shame to waste the last 18 months. |

My feeling too. Seem like we're undoing all the good work in two panic-striken days and all good sense is going out the window. The worst feeling is that if it could have been so much better planned and executed by a board who had so far been so professional in that regard. |
