Title: New investor shows interest in Swindon.... Post by: glos_robin on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 16:11:26 From todays adver.......spin or real. Based on Holts track record I would put it in the 80% bollocks section of this forum.
Quote A NEW investor has made contact with Swindon Town in the hope of buying into the club. Non executive director Bob Holt confirmed there were now two interested parties in the Robins, excluding the fans' consortium, who have still yet to lodge a formal bid under the leadership of former QPR chairman Bill Power. He said: "Talks with the original investor have been progressing slowly but now someone new has come in and wants to jump the queue." Any new investment would be welcome at the County Ground with a £900,000 CVA (Company Voluntary Agreement) due to be paid to the club's remaining creditors on Saturday. The CVA was set up in August 2002 but mixed messages have been coming out of the different parties involved as the deadline looms. Swindon Borough Council leader Rod Bluh claimed the Robins had asked to re-open negotiations over the June 30 deadline. Town then issued a statement denying they wanted to extend the deadline, but confirmed they met with council officials on June 6 to discuss the CVA status. This was all after CVA supervisor Andrew Andronikou claimed he has the authority to "extend and vary" the deadline. Andronikou was contacted by the Gazette, but refused to confirm or deny if the CVA payment would be met on Saturday. A club statement was due to be released tomorrow.

Title: New investor shows interest in Swindon.... Post by: janaage on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 16:22:48 So the original new investor, who was so close to taking over, has now been gazumped by another investor who wants to "jump the queue".
How thoroughly decent of the board to stab the original investor in the back by now publically announcing there's anew investor in town. I thought it wasn't right to blab to the local press about these things? Well done Bob and co. Title: New investor shows interest in Swindon....

Just an idea. Title: New investor shows interest in Swindon.... Post by: millom red on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 16:32:07 Not a bad shout Yeovil...but somehow i doubt it.
Title: New investor shows interest in Swindon.... Post by: glos_robin on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 16:32:30 We can expect a statement tomorrow hey? will that just be a re-written version of an old one about talks with a new investor are at an advanced stage?
Title: New investor shows interest in Swindon.... Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 16:32:36 I'd say it's more likely we should prepare for news that looks good but turns out to be bad. Investor A is merely a couple of weeks from investing (over a month ago) but now the Board seem happy to announce it's slow progress and we've got another one. More likely, despite 5 weeks of constant nagging, investor A has still refused to offer any of his cash to a sinking ship. Investor b is created using something already involved with the club?
Title: New investor shows interest in Swindon.... Post by: genf_stfc on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 16:35:29 their first imaginary investor got cold feet, so they made up another one to start an imaginary bidding war. mentalism

Not that old chestnut again Bob, give it a rest mate. it is technically true though. there's not been a formal bid because the board won't let the consortium look at the books...

Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 21:18:17 I think the rationale they use is to ask people to invest and they count them as an investor until they give their reply of NO. Technically it's possible that there 56million investors in the Uk that haven't turned us down yet, I know I haven't pulled out yet.

More than you can shake a stick at! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Title: New investor shows interest in Swindon.... Post by: deltaincline on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 23:18:54 Let me have a guess about the possible new investors;
Could the first new investor be a neighbour of the Wills family? Could the second new investor be a neighbour of the first investor who was originally a neighbour of the Wills family? Maybe the investors are 'new entrepeneurs' and leaders of 'top 1000 listed companies'? Have either of them signed an NDA? If the first investor was 'in advanced talks' as claimed, one would presume that an NDA had been signed on both sides. That being the case, has the spirit of that NDA now been broken by the club talking to the second investor? Or is this all a load of fucking bollocks? I tend to lean towards the latter :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Title: New investor shows interest in Swindon....

Title: New investor shows interest in Swindon.... Post by: Batch on Thursday, June 28, 2007, 06:59:31 I can't believe I actually thought investor A was real and had a chance of moving the club forward under "new management". I am a prize twat. Sorry.
