Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: red_army on Friday, January 11, 2008, 06:50:20 Adver are reporting that Fitton & Co will finally take over officially TODAY !!
Quote taken from Adver Site: A NEW County Ground era is set to start today with Andrew Fitton's consortium expected to finally seal their Town takeover. After months of protracted talks, the Swindon Advertiser understand Fitton & Co have finally resolved their remaining issue with the tax man and will take sole charge from the start of next week. It is understood Fitton and HMRC struck an agreement yesterday for the £3million debt owed by the football club, allowing them to complete their Swindon Town purchase. A statement should be released around midday today to announce the completion of the takeover with Fitton and consortium partner Jeremy Wray expected to outline their vision for the club early next week. Small bits of paperwork still had to be finalised as the Advertiser went to press last night but, after months of financial uncertainty, Town fans can finally look ahead to a brighter future. The new owners will hope tomorrow's completion will see their transfer embargo lifted by the Football League, once all debts are cleared, and will result in the official appointment of Maurice Malpas as manager. Fitton's consortium is believed to be worth in excess of £500million, with four people making up the group. Dave Byrne and Ady Williams are expected to continue as caretaker managers for tomorrow's League One trip to Walsall, with Malpas officially unveiled as boss on Monday. :beers: Title: A Done Deal???????

Cmon Mr. Fitton. 500 Million consortium right? Sounds tasty, even if only a few mil go on the club, it's nice to know the money's there. Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: Ardiles on Friday, January 11, 2008, 08:57:14 Today is Colonic Irrigation Day (that's for the club, not me, by the way). The Diamandis enema is a tricky procedure that took a lot of planning. But when it's complete, the condition of the patient should improve markedly.
We're getting our club back. Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: Luci on Friday, January 11, 2008, 09:11:38 It may be done today but don't think for some reason it will be officially announced until next week. They may well unveil their plans for future development etc. all at the same time, although I'd love something to celebrate this weekend!

Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: janaage on Friday, January 11, 2008, 09:14:31 So this is it is it??
Forgive me for not celebrating weeks ago, but it just didn't seem real. If the news is released later I'll be as happy as Larry!!! Come on!!!! Finally we're there! Please no more delaying statements, lets just sign this up. For some reason Loaded by Primal Scream has just come to me! We wanna be free to do what we wanna do And we wanna get loaded And we wanna have a good time That’s what we’re gonna do No way baby let’s go We’re gonna have a good time We’re gonna have a party Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Friday, January 11, 2008, 09:15:17 Statement expected at midday.
Wonder what it will say! :shock: :soapy tit wank: Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: janaage on Friday, January 11, 2008, 09:18:15 It seems kinda of apt that the day the man who first conquered Everest dies that AF & Co finally officially take over the club.
Perhaps AF should go out on to the CG pitch fully clothed in mountainous clothing, with a Union flag and plant it in the centre circle, just for effect. At times it's been like trying to mount Everest trying to rid the club of MD. Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: Luci on Friday, January 11, 2008, 09:21:42 Haha good shout Jan.
This has the potential to be the best Friday of 2008! I may even buy some bubbly if it goes through! Id like Fitton etc. to be on the pitch at the next home game just so we can give them a HUGE round of applause! :D Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, January 11, 2008, 09:23:58 Quote from: "STFCLady" I may even buy some bubbly if it goes through! I have a bottle of Champagne on my desk here at work, our Xmas pressie that I haven't taken home yet. I wonder what my boss would say if at 12 o'clock there's a statement from Fitton and I start jumping up and down on my desk and start spraying Champagne everywhere? :D Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: janaage on Friday, January 11, 2008, 09:24:44 No better time to do it than against Forest, big away following, decent team, get the home fans all excited by parading the new owners on the pitch.
Maybe have a couple of new signings (loan or otherwise). Be a good shout imo. Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: magic8ball on Friday, January 11, 2008, 09:25:42 If today really is the day, and the statement reflects as such at midday, this must be the first time a deadline has ever been given by STFC, and actually stuck to.
A true sign that things might just get a whole lot better! :beers: Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: Ardiles on Friday, January 11, 2008, 09:28:24 I miss Statement Fridays.

Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: Colin Todd on Friday, January 11, 2008, 09:32:05 I really dont want them on the pitch. I'm as happy as the next town fan that this is all going through, i just think that their place is in the boardroom / exxec area of the arkells

Quote from: "McLovin" A father of someone i know was apparently told by Peacs that the new fellas aren't actually that loaded, and are considering Admin so they can wipe out debt. Anyone else heard this?? That rumor did the rounds when Wills/Diamandis seemed to be holding up the deal - specifically that Diamandis wouldn't sign because he thought that was the route they'd go down. Even if it came from withing the club (as suggested at the time) I would class it as complete and utter bollocks, taken from the book of Diamandis stalling tactics. Title: A Done Deal???????

Title: A Done Deal??????? Post by: flammableBen on Friday, January 11, 2008, 13:42:14 Quote from: "wiki" Sir Martyn Arbib (born 1940) is a British businessman who led the Perpetual fund management company very successfully during the late 20th century, unusually based in Henley-on-Thames, England rather than London. He sold the company to the fund manager AMVESCAP in 2001 for more that £1 billion, receiving £113m together with AMVESCAP shares worth £300m, and the company became known as Invesco Perpetual. Arbib was a major benefactor in the establishment of the River and Rowing Museum at Henley, which opened in 1998. He was knighted in 2003. In his spare time, he is interested in horse racing. His horse Snurge won the St. Leger Stakes in 1990. As well as Henley, he also has a home in Barbados. Title: A Done Deal???????

If you read the links provided it shows he sold the business in 2000. Of which he got £113 mill for. I was just posting where he was last year in the rich list and how much he was worth then. The other links said he was worth £270 mill or something, just updating it. Happy days anyway! Title: A Done Deal???????

That's how much the business went for but I don't think he got all of it. Quote He sold the company to the fund manager AMVESCAP in 2001 for more that £1 billion, receiving £113m together with AMVESCAP shares worth £300m, and the company became known as Invesco Perpetual. wikipedia said he got £113m + another £300m in shares.
