The hope is that potential buyers know that clubs generating £6m+ in revenue can be easily sustainable when they're not ran by crooks and fuckwits.
Or we'll be stuck with this mob for a long downward spiral further.

Just cancelled my DD, and emailed the trust to tell them why, a one liner saying Friday's statement was a disgrace.

I admire people’s confidence that there are interested parties out there who would not only want to buy the club but also buy it to run it as a successful business & football club.
Maybe I’m being naive because I can’t see why anyone legit would want to touch us - at all.

Following on from what DIV has posted even if there were new potential owners out there this could rumble on for a year or even longer which is time we may not have….

It doesn't really matter what I or anyone says but I think you'd be surprised. |

I hope you are right, but I'm struggling to see it as a good legitimate investment for anyone not at least fond of the club or in a Brewster's millions situation. Any business turning over millions will present opportunities for extracting cash and gifting favours though. |

Despite all the crap going on the one thing we do have is potential. Not many L2 clubs can attract 9K when things are going well. |

Makes that extension look ever weirder than it was. Like to know the reasoning behind that one. |

We’re getting 9k when things are going shite! Albeit dropping off a bit because of said shiteness. |

Flitcroft had a 54% win percentage and seemed to be wholly unpopular fwiw. |

Swindon attendances are an oddity really. Our highest league finish in my time was 89/90. I've just had a look at the attendances and we only got over 10k at home when there was massive away support - Wolves, Oxford, Portsmouth, Sheffield Utd & Newcastle. Even if we got a team to those heady heights again, what level of support could we get? |

I don’t think he drew many so almost 50/50 win loss which skewed the reality. |

Population of Swindon alone has doubled since then. Surrounding areas too - we’d sell out every week in the championship |
