At first I thought perhaps Ed Hadwin has decided to interview the cleaner as some sort of behind the scenes feature at the county ground and managed to catch the poor confused old dear in the middle of mucking out Andy King’s office toilet.
I couldn’t believe that the woman he was interviewing was Sandy Gray the Chief Executive of Swindon Town FC.
Now don’t get me wrong it would be easy for me to sit here and mock the poor womans afflictions. There’s nothing funny about a lisp and stutter outside of Open All Hours so I’ll leave well alone. W w W wWweeevsy…..
In all seriousness though the woman has the articulation, vocabulary and confidence of a timid child stood in front of the school awkwardly trying to describe what she did during the summer to three hundred blood hungry peers.
While the delivery was dreadful the content was even worse.
It was clear that Gray was thrown by even the most simple of questions and stumbled for any sort of cohesive answer often relying on Hadwin’s prompts and repeating everything he had said word for word.
Having sat and listened to that what little I know about Gray suddenly fits all to well. She clearly isn’t the sharpest tool in the box and it's an absolute wonder how she has been put in charge of a football club.
In the absence of Bob Holt there's not another active board member to which Gray is answerable or accountable to. I dread to think what's happening behind the scenes. At best you would have to hope that the damage is limited but for someone that managed to rack up a shortfall of 750k in just under 12 months you have to worry.
Clearly yet again Mike the dirty Greek’s influence seems to be at play.
Gray Out
