Quote Swindon Town Football Club have today announced that Mike Bowden has left the employment of the football club and has resigned as a Director. He is decided to put all his efforts into introducing the polar bear to Antarctica because he thinks that the penguins there are getting off easy.

Title: Bowden resigns Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 15:03:16 Shame....he was good fun. His efforts on the old thisis were comedy gold.. It might be interesting to have a chat to him in the Glue Pot now.

Get him along to a trust meeting, get him drunk, he'll spill the beans (ok maybe he'll grope someone but, pah) and we'll be able to run the goons out.

Perhaps one of the forum ladies could seduce him Mata Hari style, and we could mike up (ooh er) the pillow and record the beans. Title: Bowden resigns Post by: Kinky Tom on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 15:17:06 I like it, Charlotte's got an obvious soft spot for him, Birdy would probably be game - a menage a trois - lucky bastard. :evil:

Title: Bowden resigns Post by: janaage on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 15:39:14 Now I realise this isn't a popular point of view, but I have a bit of respect to Mike Bowden. Ever since he came outside and spoke to some of us after one match. He kept his mrs and son waiting for sometime and had to listen to a fair amount of abuse.
Okay so he may have been spouting the usual stuff, but the fact he took time out to do that means I respect him, to a certain extent. And the fact he had to resign due to the comments he made is a sign of the times. Title: Bowden resigns Post by: Spud on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 15:39:45 Didn't he use to work for Npower?
I still owe him a Pint. :( Title: Bowden resigns Post by: Phil_S on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 15:40:08 Ha, one of them has done the decent thing.
Title: Bowden resigns Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 15:41:21 He was also a Corporate Lawyer, not that it seems to have done him much good.
Title: Bowden resigns Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 15:41:55 bowden was like a crazy uncle. you can't help but sort of like him...
Title: Bowden resigns Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 15:46:43 Quote from: "sonic youth" bowden was like a crazy uncle. you can't help but sort of like him... Agreed. I vaguely remember seeing him at the Cheltenham away game as he was going into the exec entrance. I randomly shouted "Mike! - Mr Whippy!" in my drunken state, fully expecting him to ignore me and carry on into the stadium. He actually turned round and came out for a chat. Fair play to him for that, I can't imagine Bob Holt (for example) doing anything like that. Title: Bowden resigns Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 16:04:57 I liked Bowden. He was full of shit but at least he was commited to that shit!

Title: Bowden resigns Post by: genf_stfc on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 16:22:57 so you are saying he pointed out some tits at the club ? must have been spoilt for choice ! twats too etc. etc.

Agree with teh bit, he had balls to come out Title: Bowden resigns Post by: pauld on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 16:35:58 I think I can say without fear of encroaching the all-new libel-friendly TEF that Bowden was a cock of the first order and a nasty piece of work to boot. He may have made some token efforts at grandstanding and doing the "We're all mates together" bit, but that was all it was. Well rid of.
Title: Bowden resigns Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 16:50:38 If you get sued regarding the cock statement I suggest you take in a condom to court and attempt to put it over his head. This will work much better if you can trick him into putting on a drivers helmet first.

This isn't supposed to be for pleasure JFW, but a sacrifice for the greater good.......I'm sure Birdy couldn't possibly enjoy it. :) Title: Bowden resigns Post by: ronnie21 on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 17:47:32 Point is though, he has resigned as a director and left the EMPLOYMENT of the club. So he was another one on a decent wage, perhaps we will only have to get rid of four players now, his wages should cover the other four!

He may have made some token efforts at grandstanding and doing the "We're all mates together" bit, but that was all it was. Well rid of. Fully agree. I had heard some stories from reliable sources of his time at npower. He is not the sort of person we want at the club. Good riddance. Title: Bowden resigns Post by: janaage on Thursday, October 25, 2007, 08:04:50 To be honest I couldn't give a shit if he was a cock or not. The fact he took time out to speak to us means that he's head and shoulders above the other more aloof board members who don't seem to have the time of day for anyone who wants answers.
Title: Bowden resigns Post by: STFC Bart on Thursday, October 25, 2007, 08:11:45 Taking us for constructive dismissal
Title: Bowden resigns Post by: janaage on Thursday, October 25, 2007, 08:15:45 Don't blame him. If he's been forced out because of his comment to the waitress. An apology (a wink and a pinch of the bum) should have sorted all of that out.

The fact he took time out to speak to us means that he's head and shoulders above the other more aloof board members who don't seem to have the time of day for anyone who wants answers. Judged on that basis, Bob Holt is a paragon of everything a board member should be as to be fair to the man he's always been willing to talk to fans. However, the value/credibility of the information they both imparted renders it a gesture, nothing more. If we were talking about a board member who was willing to listen to fans, and answer questions fully and honestly, I could see your point. Martyn Starnes does that to some extent (ie insofar as he is able to do), Bowden was just patronising and wanted to be loved. Title: Bowden resigns Post by: janaage on Thursday, October 25, 2007, 08:19:43 Fortunately I have never had the (mis)pleasure to talk to Bob Holt, so I can't really comment on that. However I have spoken to Mike B and yes he was slightly patronising and kind of aggressive in a way but having wasted 30 minutes of his life talking to an angry group of football fans I say fair play to the bloke.
End of really. Wish I'd never said anything now. Title: Bowden resigns Post by: Melksham Red on Thursday, October 25, 2007, 09:37:33 Quote End of really. Wish I'd never said anything now Yeah, will you shut the fuck up. :wink: |
