New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

[Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG]

“I feel strongly about the online abuse and negative behaviour that has surfaced in recent weeks. Criticism is part and parcel of football, and I accept my fair share. I am concerned by the levels of personal attacks and abuse directed at not only me but also at players, staff, and other supporters. This is not what being a Swindon Town fan is about.

Bullying is for cowards and online hate affects the mental health and performance of our players, especially the younger ones. It’s demoralising and it can even push talented individuals away from the Club.”

Says the man that keeps company with money launderers, drug dealers, and invites wife beaters in as guests to the boardroom. The man that has refused to pay £5m to Axis creditors, ruining other small businesses in the process. He is a compulsive liar. He has no moral authority to say any of this and deserves every shred of criticism that comes his way.

This.

Blaming everybody but himself, what a deluded asshole.

[Hyabb17]

Do they not format articles anymore? Jeez.

[tans]

They haven't even posted it on facebook

[Swindon Please Win]

The budget line I understand is meant to come across as a good thing, but if that is the case, it's even more embarrassing that we're in this situation on the pitch. Poor recruitment and a boardroom with no football expertise, which proves so much of the frustration.

There are so many unanswered questions that a statement like this stating things we already knew won't work. I applaud the attempt but it's reached a point of no return for them I feel.

The main plus I take from that is:

In our meeting with Neil Hutchings and James Phipps, I stated that I wasn't interested in selling the Club. However, if the Trust wants me to leave, I stated they should provide proof of funds and a formal letter of interest and I reiterated that the football club is not for sale and I remain dedicated and committed to building a Club that fans can be proud of.

I really hope someone will go to the trust and can provide this so we can have a change, but the worry is the asking price due to the money he will want in return, there is no mention of writing this off which has been a question circling the past week. I can understand why he doesn't but contradicts a previous comment, which shows he'll say anything to keep people happy even if it is a flat out lie. So we will just be stuck while the price keeps increasing making it impossible for someone wanting to purchase us.

Yeah that statement annoyed me. He'd of been better off saying nothing.

The facebook lot will fall for it again though.

[tans]

Yeah i noticed there was no mention of the debt being written off like said at the fans forum. He must know people have been asking that question recently

Also interesting its come out today, aren't the Trust meeting with the Adver for an article today?

[tans]

The facebook lot will fall for it again though.

Great statement Clem! Shut the moaners up!

[CambridgeshireRed]

Reading that statement gave me a headache, bloody hell, it's so amateur in how many mistakes there are

[Matchworn Shirts]

Valid criticism of the way the club is being 'run' is now being classed as online hate, and because of that the performances are getting worse. Interesting

[Hyabb17]

This is the definition of insanity - doing/saying the same thing over & over again but expecting a different result.

[tans]

Also, why is he blaming the debenture for Black on transfer spending when it had nothing to do with that?

[theakston2k]

The whole tone of that statement stinks!

He genuinely comes across as having lost the plot, this is starting to sound increasingly like all the other dodgy owners that have destroyed football clubs whilst at the same time claiming they are the victim. Something needs to change, this man can’t be left at the wheel much longer.

[tans]

First post i see on facebook

I for one don’t hear of anybody taking us to court or any threats of legal action. What I do understand is we are in a sound position where the poor performances are getting on clems back seems to be the answer. Clem is not training this team he didn’t know this was going to happen. So displacing clem and destabilising the club really isn’t the answer- anger/disappointment is not the way we really get the job done.Surely getting the right training is where we should start.

Just a recycled message. Nothings changed.
Show us the admin expenses! Still not going back until this lot and their baggage leave.
