Title: Another BBC Article Says Wills are Gone... Post by: STFC_Gazzza on Wednesday, August 15, 2007, 10:12:40 http://www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/content/articles/2007/08/15/stfc_150807_feature.shtml
After years of searching for new investment, Swindon's board have finally completed a deal which is expected to bring millions of pounds into the club. The company which has taken control from the Wills family at the County Ground is called Best Holdings SGPS, which appears to be based in Portugal. The deal was signed at the County Ground in the early hours of this morning, but the two line statement issued afterwards still leaves all the important questions about the deal un-answered. Mystery investors As yet it is unclear who the new owners are, what they're planning to do about everything from ground redevelopment to investing in the team, or what role - if any - the current shareholders will play. Director Bob Holt says more details will be made available in the coming days, and many fans will withhold judgement until then on what this deal will mean for Swindon.

Post by: STFC_Gazzza on Wednesday, August 15, 2007, 10:17:53 Well I believe this article more, This is done on the local Wiltshire BBC site whereas the other one was just a general article.

BEST may have taken control, but it doenst neccessarily mean that Wills and Baron Greenback arent still sniffing around attempting to pull strings. another conspiracy theory, What if this has all been one big piss take by the current board to make it look like someone else has come in!!! :mrgreen: Title: Another BBC Article Says Wills are Gone...

They (and their advisers) could very well still be involved. |
