Dear Trevor,

Why can you not pick up the phone and speak to Mr Fitton's lawyers to find out what the hell is actually going on, rather than act all blase and say 'Well we're waiting to hear from them' when they are infact actually waiting to hear from you.

I think the phrase I'm looking for is - PULL YOUR FINGER OUT!

Kindest regards

Sam Binstead


That ought to do it.

The lawyers are lazy fuckers that simply add stress and expense without actually doing anything  ?  Bob Holt was right - it actually IS just like buying a house !!

Surely Fittons solicitors should be chasing them on a regular basis anyway?

And Clarke Wilmott were mentioned as the clubs solicitors in an (online) article I dug out regarding the BEST fiasco.

They was using No Show at Clarke Willmott for the Football club and Westlake Bell for the Holding Co I beleive as this is who holds Diamandis shares in proxy for him - so I would imagine there is 3 sets of solicitors involved

Clarke Willmott for the FC; Wedlake Bell act for the Holding Co; Breems (IIRC) are the ones that act as nominees for Mikey D's shares.

Dear Trevor.

I am a supporter of Swindon Town Fottball Club for over 15 years now, and despite now living in Thailand my passion for the club has not wained in the slightest. Despite my physical distance from the current debacle at the club I still follow events very closely, and would like to urge you in the strongest possible terms to get the deal completed for the sake of many thousand's and other like myself, and for the fine footballing history that our country has in general.

I may be no legal guru myself, but I suspect that the technical jargon for this scenario would be "JUST DO IT, INNIT"

What's more is that should this deal fall through, then you may well be representing your clients in a different capacity. Such as defendant's in a fraud case for example (Or have you thought of that already: $$$$$)

Your's Sincerely

Jamie Finch.


Do you think that I will get a reply?[/quote]

Yes it could be but lawyers act under instructions from their clients. We've been here before remember when we (Fans Consortium) were trying to get them to sign an NDA? Then we had the "email sent to wrong address", lawyers mysteriously not available for days at a time, and "sources close to the club saying they have done everything that has been asked for" (from this afternoon's Adver report). Just waiting for Holt to pop up and say Fitton never put in a formal offer now and we'll have a full flashback nostalgia trip.

I'd guess just filling in the contact form won't get us very far but will do it anyway!

I put links to both lawyers websites.

We now know for definate who is handling the transaction. The only way that could be done was to phone the club or Fitton, or use a process of elimination.

Yep. If the lawyers are stalling it's because they've been told to. Just like with the Fans' Consortium last spring/summer

EDIT: although that said, both sets of lawyers are cocks so I haven't got much sympathy with them

For me, sending Email's to Lawyers regardless of wether it is right or wrong, give's me the opportunity to at least TRY to do SOMETHING and so I shall continue to do so!

I don't really see how it could hinder the cause either.
