New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

[Kaufman]

I am loving the fact that one negative rumour has been jumped on, yet someone saying its 100% not true is being ignored

To play devils advocate, if he’s serving his notice then technically he can tell people he still is CEO.

[Trashbat?]

If it wasn't true this would be very easy to dismiss by the club or by RA himself.

It feels a little bit like the story has got our sooner than expected and the club aren't ready to announce a successor or spin the story into a positive.

Need a 5pm signing to take the heat off

Which meets on the 15th.

Firstly, good on the Trust for respecting the Friday statement - shows the Swindon heritage no owner could ever match

Secondly, it feels a little... pointier than the last statement.

Most delusional fan base in world football based in the most underperforming reasonably big city in football.

Considering the wealth of Lansdown  size of the city and catchment area they really are the under achievers.

Can any old Trust member attend?

Isnt it just the advisory board meeting?

Who is saying its not true? Just that he is still there as of this moment, which doesn't contradict anything. Its been claimed he is working his notice.

[Bennett]

I like the trust's statement, however unless it's pre-agreed that's the forum for the questions, I don't think the club will answer at the AB.
I have nothing to back that up other than I think the club have had the questions already, they could have provided initial answers to be dissected at a separate meeting (TBC). Delaying answering does feel the only ploy

[DiV]

So you would rather we dropped out of the league..?

 

Yes,
I’ve said this plenty of times post Andrew Black.
The best thing this club could do is die a death and rise again as a phoenix club.
Start at the bottom and go again. Clear all the deadwood.
Play some new teams, visit some new stadiums. Hopefully have a bit of fun running through divisions.

Beats going to Colchester & Walsall every fucking year…

That would be totally catastrophic.   Football is full of crooks, many of them agents, soa phoenix club would still have them swimming about.

Talk about throwing baby out with the bath water.

will that guarantee we get good owners?
what if we just keep on going down.
I remember as a young lad when we got relegated from the championship and i thought at least we can start winning again. never been back since.

a less drastic method would be to just kick on from our current scenario instead of killing the whole club off.

[swindonmaniac]

 Behave,  would you really like to be an Oldham fan ??,  the shit they’ve been through over the last few years,  bet they’d love to be in our position.   Be careful what you wish for.

I don't agree with you, but it is an interesting idea, sort of.  Nobody coming in has ever just blown th thing up, business wise, and started over.  Everyone just keeps trying to do what the last lot did but better, or with more personal gain extracted etc.

Lets be honest, the reason for that is the fact that they have a pretty sturdy customer base that will just keep sending cash.  Fuck me, imagine what the current lot thought when they realised they could ask all their customers to let business keep their money when the product wasn't even provided (Covid Season Ticket Refunds).  What a bunch of mugs we are.  You can literally Con us, in the open, and then come back for more.    Oh, and while that is going on, another fan (dead) is buying 50% of the ground for us.
