With all the churning going on in the club, and all the speculation, I think it is time for the fans to agree upon one thing.  Whoever is running the club after the end of June, there is one absolute, the only acceptable course is that Paul Sturrock is, and remains the manger of Swindon Town, until Paul Sturrock decides otherwise.  

I think the fans should make it absolutely clear that they are 110% behind Paul Sturrock and whatever happens to the club, any football management changes are totally unacceptable.

If we start the season on minus ten points I think he could be tempted to leave.

i thought that was the case with most supporters anyway

With the history of Swindon Town (Macari was sacked) who knows.  I think that the fans should exercise their voice and make one thing clear.  If Luggy is minus 10 points, he will just figure out how to get the final play-off position, the guy has spine.

The most I'll ever be is 100% behind him.

Certainly is mate

From my point of view, every Trust statement throughout this whole debacle, has openly called for the ongoing committed support for the big man.

That certainly has not changed in my book

I'm happy to back Sturrock. He did a good job last season when it looked like we might struggle towards the end of the year. He was allowed to bring in fresh players and turned things around from the Lincoln game onwards.

Sturrock is the man!

has a team ever finished on minus point before? as in getting a 10 pint deduction and then having a shit season and ending in minus still

same here...i'm a rational kind of guy

I'm riding this band wagon 8)

You 110 percenters are just a bunch of wankers - FACT!

no. the 10 point dedution hasn't been going for long has it? and it would be nearly impossible for a team to not get 10 points over the course of 46 games surely?

Screw that!

i like to leave a little room for doubt, so i'm backing him about 96.7%

i max out at 105% just like the forum...105 is the future

Conference North Table 2006-07 below.

Lancaster City had a 10 point deduction and ended on 1!!

Although there were a lot of problems which contributed to that.

If teh mystery investor  so beloved of Dell Boy and Maverick comes in and takes over the club, then he may want his own man...its what happens.

  Personally I don't think Sturrock will be hanging about for too long, in the same way I suggested that Wise wouldn't hang about for too long.

  For a successful individual, I'd imagine its more or less impossible to work with the clowns at our club....the likes of  :king:  or Iffy, are happy to try because its a job.

I'm happy to go with the full 110% as it then allows room for a 10pt deduction

I can't see Sturrock leaving to be honest unless of course we become a non-league club overnight.
So lets hope the mystery man does appear in the next week to 10 days or we will all be up the creek without a paddle, pro Consortium or not.
If thats what you want for Swindon Town Reg then give yourself a big smile :(

i'd rather see the club go under and start afresh than continue indefinitely under the incumbent ownership. at least that way it would be our club again.

Very gallant, ask Aldershot fans if they think the same?

i'll get right on it.

 floghorse

So thats your answer Reg, whoopie.
Best you put some blinkers on that horse, you two could become close friends.

hello pot.

this is kettle.

you are black.

Fencesitters can hang both ways :soapy tit wank:

 Sorry didn't see a question.  I'm always glad to answer questions.

  Just the usual horseshit.

Yep me to.

Can't we scrape some cash together, buy Supermarine, change their name to The Real STFC, sign up the Swindon youth team (they do this bit anyway), submith a planning application for the site and start a better team?

That would mean buying out Puffet whos as big a twat as Seton Wills :( Start fresh on  Mannington Rec  :shock:

  Think Puffett and Hunt have already got planning permission for a development at Hunt's Copse....should be able to do a Salisbury and get at least a shot at league football.

Is Hunt involved there?

 Yep...although the name is coincidental.

Ah I see.

Swindon Supermarine are great for everyone's sanity, if the Town get destroyed, there's a huge fan base for a non-league club.  However, we would be a couple of divisions or so below Oxford.  

It was pointed out in another thread that if the courts had to consider friendly/unfriendly takeovers in the event of "a cock-up on the CVA front".

Mannington - I like that - we can call ourselves Swindon Wednesday Argyle
