Up until he started blaming SSW it was a well reasoned letter, but then he completely loses it - he forgets that SSW is actually a person, who however you look at it is the sole reason we still exist.
He should be blaming the day-to-day members of the board who have done pretty much sod all good for us - apart from Willie's initial outlay of a few hundred grand.

It wasn't that long ago, Seton Wills was getting slated by a lot of fans for holding the club back. Him and the other 'small minded' businessmen putting in minimal amounts and taking large rewards back.

No as it was through word of mouth. I'm not talking about anything posted as such but a period in the 90's.

I remember from the Channel 4 programme when a couple of Swindon fans had a go at Ray Hardman for not giving Swindon enough money. I thought Hardman's response was excellent, if they know anyone who would be willing to take the club over and invest more than they were at the time let him know and he'll leave. Some supporters look at Chelsea and Utd, Arsenal and other teams and wonder why we can't be as rich as them. Get a grip on reality people.

Him and the other 'small minded' businessmen putting in minimal amounts and taking large rewards back. Would you care to qualify this accusation with something like evidence. He got a lot of stick on the internet forums (MOS, Thisis) for not selling to the Brady bunch straight away because they had a pot of gold. The letter has a point, but fails to reason that there isn't anyone else wanting to incest, and secondly that SSW has put a lot of money and as a creditor is entitled to some of it back if any future investment is forthcoming. Here you go SSW, for the Adver classifieds: For sale, a League 1 club, lots of uncarful previous owners, in need of attention and renovation; comes with overrated strike force, average midfiled and leaky defence. Management blames Jerel Ifil for all; would suit rich madman with own stadium. |

To blame someone who has invested £9m into the club over the past 10-15 years is just cuntish.
SSW is a wealthy man, certianly richer than anyone on here, but some people seem to think that he has abramovich-esque levels of wealth which just isnt true.
Just another badly informed, semi retarded Swindon fan - of which there are plenty. :|

Never the less he's pretty much pissed up the wall his 9 millions worth of investment by managing to back a string of lame donkeys, repair damage and at present just about keep the wolves from the door.
Not that he can be criticised for such poor judgement it or should ever be beyond criticism for that matter.

I'm just agreeing with you that the assertion that SSW has taken money out of the club is semi retarded.
