My first thought was some Arab sheikh.
Hopefully not Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri. |

The Adver understands that SWP is not investing in the club, which leads you to wonder why he's being brought in... Suppose that doesn't exclude the possibility he is being named to represent another investor.

ADVER CHIEF SPORTS WRITER SAM MORSHEAD: "It's a Monday morning story that was very hard to foresee, the removal of a chairman who has been involved in such a rich period of success at Swindon Town.
Hmmmm ? I don't like the sound of '...the removal...' Or am I being a pedant?

I sincerely hope that the appointment of Sir Will.I.Am is being made for the right reasons (to allow major investment) and not because of any internal friction.
I also hope that Sir Will.I.Am's appointment does not mean there will be a change to Mr Wrays policy of honesty and openness as this has been the first time we have had a period of harmony for a long time.
I guess Paolo will be sad to see Jeremy step down as his chairman as there is an obvious click there but I guess Jeremy figures Paolo needs someone who cand find him financial backing for new players.
on the bright side for Paolo, at least now when he falls out with a player he can call on Sir Will.I.Am's contacts at MI6 to have them 'dry cleaned'....

The pessimist in me wonders whether the PDC "plan changing from 18 months ago" stuff wasn't just PDC being PDC but more informed than that. That said, PDC may not be party to everything in the boardroom due to reasons of confidentiality. |

It may be best to wait and hear the official line, but my guess would be that Wray has gone too far, from the previous position of not throwing money at the project, and so had to go....I'd imagine PdC will follow and Patey has been brought in to fight the fire....a kind of better connected Bob Holt.
It follows that, that the owners may be looking to go entirely.....

Time for ill informed panic, witch hunts and ceremonial burnings.
And I include myself in that, I am already in full on tin foil hat territory.
Also, large Thank You Jeremy banner required at the next home game. Can't overestimate how impressive his short chairmanship has been.

Shit. That's extremely bad news. Hope this is of Wray's own choosing.

No it's not just you. The 'answer' is clear as mud. |
