Title: We need confirmation that there is someone else Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, October 16, 2007, 16:35:54 And that someone is decent. If a new person/company comes out and says they are interested then perhaps we should lay off for saturday.
Myself, I think this injection is actually from the Wills because HRMC were about to wind us up. If thats true then the situation is worse not better. I dont care if our protests 'dont help'. Thats tough, theyve had 5 years to sort this out. They need to go now. They need to cut a deal with someone. If no one else is on cloud 9 in being prepared to pay 8 million for 11 million pounds worth of debt then tough. We knew that all along. No confirmation = double steam ahead for saturday. As a side note. Adrinokou, dont you look like a cunt now. Well, you always did, but now you are a double cunt. Puffett, you havnt covered yourself in glory either. Dont want you back now.

If someone comes out and says "we want to buy STFC " then that will put my mind at rest. I will not lay off for Saturday. In fact if another party comes out and says they are interested this should increase protests. We need to force the board to sell. And fast. We can't let this turn into another FC or Best scenario.

What we need to hear is from the people themselves. "We want to buy the club". Little did say that. But it wasn't his fault the board's demands were pathetically high was it?

And we layed off until it was obvious that the deal was dead, or about to die. I dont think that anyone independent will come out before saturday. Its quite possible that they dont exist.

Title: We need confirmation that there is someone else Post by: DV on Tuesday, October 16, 2007, 17:15:36 another bullshit investor, how many of them have we had over the years.
I bet it turns out to be Wills putting in more money and we should all be grateful to them. Title: We need confirmation that there is someone else Post by: herthab on Tuesday, October 16, 2007, 17:16:50 If it's a bona fide investor, why don't they release the name?
We had all this shit with BEST. Why is it always a fucking state secret? If I had the money and wanted to invest, I wouldn't want to be anonymous. Secrecy breeds mistrust, just come out and name them................................... ..............If they exist. Title: We need confirmation that there is someone else Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, October 16, 2007, 17:20:50 I think we should maintain an official list of cunts.

Until we get a statement from some lawyers it isn't god enough.
This was always going to happen. The timing is no coincidence. Title: We need confirmation that there is someone else Post by: jimbob on Tuesday, October 16, 2007, 18:00:35 just wondering what impact this has on Jim Little's position?? :?
e.g. are we seeking another new chairman? Title: We need confirmation that there is someone else Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, October 16, 2007, 18:13:03 i think it's probably safe to assume that little, brevett and veiga have left the building. interesting to see almeida played for the reserves today, wouldn't be surprised to see his and arrieta's contracts terminated by mutual consent.

So here we go again the club statementfests(tm) contradict yet another party they do business with. Suprise, suprise. I assume that if this £8m clause is true Bob Holt is currently penning his apology to the Advertiser. Thought not. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/display.var.1764798.0.war_of_words.php Quote MYSTERY surrounds last night's breakdown of the Portuguese takeover as Town look ahead to a future with a potential new saviour. County Ground officials insist the protracted negotiations with Best Holdings were finally ended due to the time being taken to conclude a deal. A club statement has denied a provision in the original contract for a payment of £8million to major shareholders the Wills Family. advertisement But the Town hierarchy admitted last night the clause did exist as revealed by the Swindon Advertiser last week, although they insist it was submitted by BEST themselves and rejected by the club. However, BEST front man Jim Little, pictured right, hit back, claiming the first they heard of yesterday's revelations was via a Town statement on their website and are now taking legal advice. They accused yesterday's statement of contradicting the terms of the "latest contract" while saying the £8million payment over six monthly installments was in fact submitted by Town. While claims and counter claims will undoubtedly continue over the next weeks and months, Swindon fans are left wondering who the potential new owner of the club is. With some breathing space to their immediate financial crisis given, with a lock-out payment forwarded to the Inland Revenue, all concerned will be hoping the next few weeks of going through the books will conclude in a new era for the club. Town's statement also revealed Jorge Rubenstein was a member of the BEST consortium. Title: We need confirmation that there is someone else Post by: TalkTalk on Wednesday, October 17, 2007, 08:30:53 So the upshot is that they have lied yet again.
Do we trust them about the "new investors"? Fuck off do we. Bring on Saturday. Title: We need confirmation that there is someone else Post by: fatbury on Wednesday, October 17, 2007, 09:45:26 just as an update to the myfootballclub.co.uk potential takeover

Title: We need confirmation that there is someone else Post by: Phil_S on Wednesday, October 17, 2007, 13:03:49 Which ever team they are trying to take over, it can't be STFC. Not enough money for the loan sharks.
I feel sorry for the fans of ANY club that is sold to this stupid idea & imagine most fans of most clubs would riot at the news. |
