Swindon Town Director Bob Holt has today spoken to the official website and given the latest on the takeover situation.

Holt has spoken to potential investort Andrew Fitton this morning and commented:

"Andrew expressed some surprise at today's headline in the Swindon Evening Advertiser and has confirmed that a constructive meeting took place on Monday evening between himself and Sir Seton Wills. He added that the takeover could be completed by the end of the week," said Holt.

Fitton flew out of the country this morning on business but could return on Friday, earlier than planned, to complete the takeover, subject to lawyers finalising the terms of the deal.

Now that sounds like shit to me!

I actually think it sounds quite reasonable.

It's bullshit Sam!

I'd love to believe it, but just how many times have we heard this from Holt??

Read it again. Holt is quoting what Fitton has said.

- Constructive meeting last night
- Takeover could be done by Friday

Sounds fair enough to me.

But Holt is a liar, and so we have no way of knowing wether or not Fritton did actually say that, if if it is just another made up story.

Besides which, does this mean that the atricle in todays adver was all made up, well if it was then it was one hell of an elaborate piece of false journalism.

Somebody is lying, and I know I would bet on.

Not really, chances are the Adver spoke to Fitton early yesterday afternoon before his meeting with SSW.

my initial reaction was that it is a holding statement.

However, why say it will be done on Friday when we have a home game on the Saturday

He knows full well if it doesnt go through on Friday that they have just brought a whole lot of shit down on themselves on Saturday

Are you suggesting that it may not be all bollocks?? Obviously if its true then it's welcome news but I don't think anyone can be blamed for being cynical about it.

That would make sense, although it doesn't change the statement came from Holt.

if it had been atrributed to Fitton directly by the reporter then fair enough - but coming out of Holt's mouth ?  Wouldn't be at all surprised if Fitton is still on a plane somewhere and Bob thought he would just help matters a bit in his absense.  I'm happy to be proved wrong though

If the advertiser had any balls they would either confirm their sources or actually make some sort of effort to make the wider public aware of the deep problems we are facing.

I am not holding my breath though!

yes indeed the worry is that it came from Bob Holt's mouth ...

however I remind optimistic that a takeover can be agreed by Friday and that Steve Cotterill will be watching from the stands on Saturday  :wink:
