So now we have
Significant Announcement Thursday and Statement Friday, what can we have for the other days of the week?
Edit to answer my own question, in light of recent months, Moaning Monday, Twattish Tuesday and Whinging Wednesday?
Shit Performance Saturday. Sullen Aftermath Sunday

OK, so current guesses are -selling up -being bought by RB -Manager sacked -Sherwood becoming DoF -Some sort of of Westford tie up -Financial doom
any more plausible ones?

Are you dismissing the Town End Bar? Also, who are Westford?

Tbf, Power wouldn't invite the nationals for any of that - except a 'significant' buyer. So the press conference is probably at any new owner's behest. Surely you don't do a press conference to announce you're bankrupt.

I would be surprised if it is the Waterford link up, as I don't see why they would announce a link up before announcing they had bought the club. Also I don't think it would be important enough for them to invite the Adver.

I don't think the Red Bull story is totally far fetched. Leipzig were well down the leagues when Red Bull took over. Leipzig also operate on a similar basis to Swindon in that none of their first team are over 26. I think Red Bull would rather take over a team that they could mold in their own image rather than buying a bigger club with a big history like Leeds whose fans might not accept being called RB Leeds. Swindon's also quite a big place population wise (relative to the size of the club) with a potentially big catchment area compared to some other teams at our level. Having said that, if it is a takeover, no doubt it will probably be someone without a pot to piss in.

Red Bull also very recently did a car-skid-stunt-video thing on the magic roundabout.
Carry on.

So I assume everyone would be entirely happy with a name change?
It will be something incredibly dull, and he has only invited the Advertiser to punch them.

Red Bull Swindon.....has a certain resonance, a bit like Red Cow Swindon, which one or two TEFers will remember as a tidy pub in Princess Street, before Horlock's lot finished the Luftwaffe's work.
