Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ??????? Post by: mattboyslim on Friday, May 25, 2007, 14:44:42 It really does seem like trench warfare time- digging themselves in - looking to annoy all the local media - I can see a blanket media ban to all except Brunel before too long if I'm being honest.

Lets all do the statement, lets all do the statement, la la la la ooooh!
Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ??????? Post by: flammableBen on Friday, May 25, 2007, 14:55:35 I'm guessing it's a case of a press release designed along the lines of Sturrock thinks new investor good, Bill Power Bad, backfired on them a bit when the Adver took their own interpretation.

This is not the case. Paul is perfectly content to work within the substantial budgetary framework that has been established for the 2007/2008 campaign. However, this does not preclude the Club from working with Paul to sign as many of his primary targets as it possibly can. Before going on holiday with his family today, Paul did have a previously scheduled meeting with the owners of the Club last night which was very constructive and as expected, concluded with complete agreement on the strategy ahead.

Post by: Power to people on Friday, May 25, 2007, 15:25:14 Next statement we shall be seeing is.."We do not know who the fan's consortium are" :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Sturrock is now on holiday though so won't see the website / adver so can't contradict them. Sounds too me though that are trying to kick the new boy into shape at the adver so he only reports what they want him to report and try and make him look a fool by denying his story...although they are making themselves look fools very easily as well all know it is bollox Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ??????? Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, May 25, 2007, 15:30:36 Fuck me this board must think we're stupid.
It was only a few weeks ago Sturrock was seen on The Championship telling Willie Carson he'd need more money next season. Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ??????? Post by: Batch on Friday, May 25, 2007, 15:32:39 Quote from: "Luggy (c) adver" “I understand the owners have to watch the pennies but also they have to appreciate we need a competitive side for the first division.” Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk.

It was only a few weeks ago Sturrock was seen on The Championship telling Willie Carson he'd need more money next season. To which Carson's response, IIRC, was to grab the bottle of champagne and run off giggling. A strangely appropriate metaphor it would seem. Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ??????? Post by: glos_robin on Friday, May 25, 2007, 15:34:56 I think the board are getting a tad jittery.......almost as if we've gotta pay £1 million in a few weeks or something.
Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ??????? Post by: Arriba on Friday, May 25, 2007, 15:35:18 bob holts next quote.there is no swindon advertiser
Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ??????? Post by: Summerof69 on Friday, May 25, 2007, 15:35:56 Personally, the board are digging a bigger hole for themselves.
Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ??????? Post by: Power to people on Friday, May 25, 2007, 15:41:26 It is odd why they feel compeled to issue these statements - it is not the norm for a professional outfit, most would ignore it true or not but this lot feel they have to put their own slant on it.
They are just digging themselves into an even deeper hole. Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ???????

Post by: mattboyslim on Friday, May 25, 2007, 15:44:21 Indeed, I'm sure many a angry phone call between CEO of a club and local rag editor have been made, but to issue full on public statement once again is just a bit unnecessary - smacks of the episode of the simpsons where the everything's OK alarm is ringing in Homer's head.

Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, May 25, 2007, 16:08:15 That's made my day....fucking priceless. A Friday statement and an absolute beaut.
Fully expect Sturrock to resign by October, the club will blame stress causwed by having to do interviews for both RS and Bunuel FM. Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ???????

In Ralphy's case it has worked. Notice how they've kept relatively quite about other issues. The Board are ignoring "the minority" and hoping to win over the fans who just focus on the football side of things imo. Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ???????

They are just digging themselves into an even deeper hole. indeed! It seems they're issuing a statement in response to every story that appears in the local media of late. This one was so amusing I actually laughed when I read it at college. Are the board suggesting that the Adver misquoted Sturrock when he said "if we bring the type of players [...] this club needs to progress we would easily go over budget." which certainly suggests that the budget is either the same or has been reduced. Perhaps the Adver made up this quote for a laugh "I understand the owners have to watch the pennies but also they have to appreciate we need a competitive side for the first division." which would reinforce the interpretation of a reduced budget. The "the substantial budgetary framework that has been established for the 2007/2008 campaign." certainly doesn't sound substantial if Sturrock thinks we'll go over budget if we sign the players we need!

Fucking genius I tell thee !!!! Title: ADVER OUT NEXT ??????? Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, May 25, 2007, 18:12:03 Have just heard that the Hankerton and Minety Weekly Newspacket has been offered exclusive media rights at Swindon Town FC to the exclusion of all other registered newspapers. Only condition is that the Board can do all the journalism and nobody dare write in and complain on their letters pages. The HMWN are quoted as saying that this is a wonderful offer and will increase their circulation by 200% - they are now requesting the printers to produce 12 copies per week: secondly, they have appointed a new chief sports reporter whom they are confident can get the exclusives they need. He lives in Highworth and goes by the name of Fatbury.
