Swindon Town have called a press conference for 1.30pm tomorrow to make a 'significant announcement'. @AdverSport have been invited #stfc

Just to add fuel a guy I know in the racing world said there  was going to be some good news at Swindon soon that was a couple of weeks ago but he would not elaborate any further

A salutatory tale, and Orient didn't even ask for it..

Poor Orient. Interesting to read about Darius Henderson getting £9000 a week and his agent getting £150,000. Didn't his move to Town get called off back in the day due to an agent fee?

The 150k was actually Hendersons signing fee. His agent got 46k.

Still mental for a club that size, and lots of our fans would see no issue with us doing that. You can guarantee when their chairman leaves/ forced out, there will be massive debts, we probably got lucky with rented mercs and a dodgy catering deal.

It does indeed show the grass is not always greener with new owners even when they "splash the cash"

An interesting post on the Charlton forum after yesterdays game....

Probably been mentioned before, Swindon part owner/director Lee Powers.
(We had him on loan. Played in the first game back at the Valley.
He gets Tim Sherwood!
Katrien Meire gets Slade, says it all.
Can't you take over Charlton Lee?

Slade has a pretty good record in our league though doesn't he? Certainty needs time to fine tune the team the way he wants it.

Charlton's decline coincided with their fans falling out with finishing mid tableish in the Prem under Curbishley from about 2000-06. He'd been there a long time, getting them up, yo-yoing and then keeping them up.

A classic case of the grass not being greener

I've an Irish mate, who tells me the likes of Waterford play in front of 300 or so.  It's more likely Power is trying to be a poor man's Pozzo, and Waterford and other LoI players will come this way.
