Still around and will own 18% of the club, James Wills to be a director!!  Well, I hope they also pay 18% of the huge debts they allowed to be built up and I sincerely hope that the Fitton-led consortium have stipulated that the Greek is kept away from the club.  Willie Carson to resume his post of a minion, owning 1.5% of the club.

They won't have much of a say i don't think. Don't think the Greek will be involved as his holding in the holding company has gone i think.

Not what a lot of us wanted to hear.....protests and boycotts back on then ?  The presence of Wills junior must mean Diamond Mike is still around.

I sincerely hope so Iffy, any reminder of his regime would be like a bad dream.  Goodbye Ben and Sandy - is Holt still at the club?

Yeah but he was due to fuck off when it was done so i'm guessing he'll be gone by Tuesday (i hope)

dont care.

he's irrelevant now.

onwards and upwards.

 :twisted: Diamond Mike must be out, surely.

Well if the wills family still have 18 percent still at the club you can be assured the greeks still there :roll:

but even if they were their they only have an 18% stake, meaning their opinions are pretty much worthless, unless diamandis manages to seduce fitton to his way of thinking. other than that its nothing more than a token gesture really.


plus the lack of source makes me doubt it in teh first place

18%? Go paddle your feet in the little pool and let AF & co deal with the big pool.

It's all irrelevant, Fitton is the boss and so we don't have to worry about the others as the only power that they have would be to add a suggestion in the Monday Morning team meeting.

I am confident that Malakka Mike D is history, after all what a bad P.R. move that would be by Fitton & co!!!. Fitton must surely know how much he (DM) is hated.

IMO Wee Willy Carson is harmless, and had little or nothing todo with the state that we got into. It's undeniable also that he is a town fan so let's get off his little back for a bit.

 Apart from the fact he's always stated he's a Stirling Albion fan.

Hmmmm, I could be right, I could be wrong.

Regardless, I just found this little nugget on wikipedia:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Carson

Good work wiki chaps, you know, up to date and all that!

wills=cunts.fuck them all off pronto

Top post Arriba.

If Wills is hanging around the boardroom even as a minority shareholder, the cunt that is Diamandis will still have a conduit to information. That is just so fucking wrong if they want to truly herald a new dawn at SN1.

I hope Fitton and Wray will have strung both parties along till the deal is completed, then to fuck Wills off on some trifling legal technicality,  simultaneously squashing Diamandis' influence once and for all.

Absolutely agree Arriba.

If Wills Jnr is still involved then the Greek will be there as Wills Jnr is incapapble of independent thought.

Carson is harmless. At least he went to see power when he was in hospital - the only one of them to do so.

  Good points.....Carson does deserve a bit of credit for that.   Clearly Wills/Diamandis hope to trouser a bit from any new ground scenario and hanging around with big business boys always has the possibiliity of opening a few doors.

  I'll need to see clear evidence though that  Dunwoody have nothing to do with club shop/ program...staff etc.

But Wills is non-exec - so he doesn't vote at board meetings - effectively it's a consultancy role - but as he has nothig to offer, it will be more of 'er, James, what the fuck are all these blank pages and payments to Mr X in the accounts'. Cue a bemused looking james saying it wasn't him. The role was made for him.

So long as Diamandis isn't attending board meetings etc, even should there be any nefarious intent, I'd be reasonably confident that Fitton, Wray et al will comfortably be able to outmanoeuver James at board meetings :-)

  This may well be the case, but I wont rest easy until the loathed old guard of Wills, Holt , Diamandis , Gray , and Lambert are all demonstrably off the scene.  For example who will own and run the club shop ? Dunwoody still? Who will produce the program?

The Programme is done by Acorn press in Swindon (http://www.acornpress.co.uk/) unless this is a spin off of Dunwoody I don't know. Not sure about the club shop.

IIRC, not too long ago, the club announced it was bringing production of the matchday programme 'in-house', so I assume severing all links with Dunwoody on that front. I can't find the thread though.....

Bit unfair to pick on Ben Lambert IMO. Guilty by association definitely, and not a sparkling success in the Sales and Management Dept, but at least he communicates with you when asking questions. He was very helpful when I was having major issues with STFC World, so kudos to Ben for that.

i believe acorn are an entirely seperate entity - axs may be able to confirm this?

the content is produced by the club but printing is done by acorn. the club shop hasn't been run by dunwoody since the strikeforce deal i thought? obviously whilst newbury were on the scene there was a good chance of money going into their pocket but now it should go straight into the club.

can't see any feasible reason for holt and gray to remain. diamandis' input will be worth zero to a set of intelligent businessmen like the new board, wills jr couldn't wipe his own arse. i'd thought lambert would be sent packing with his p45 but it looks as though he's responsible for interviewing new staff for the sales and marketing department...

i think they are an independant company who just do the printing but don't produce any of the content - I'll ask my mate who works for them on saturday.

acorn antiques ?

[quote i'd thought lambert would be sent packing with his p45 but it looks as though he's responsible for interviewing new staff for the sales and marketing department...[/quote]

Surely they can't be keeping him, the Sales & Marketing has problably been at it's poorest for many years with the amount of blank spaces around the ground etc.

Maybe they should start working with supporter groups.

I think you misheard Reg, he stated Sterling (currency)

"To apply please send your CV to Ben Lambert"

i've sent my CV ;)

Non-executive directors do vote at board meetings, but they take no part in the day to day running of the company.

Fitton,Wray and Arbib are all successful businessmen  - they're not going to let James Nice-But-Dim or Diamandis anywhere near the important decisions. Don't worry.

Looks like Wray and Fitton have been outmanoeuvered into giving James a place on the board.  :wink:

Is this going to be the stock answer anytime someone has the cheek to query anything. I hope the consortium don't think like this as they will never need to consult with fans on anything.

I'm as excited and pleased as the any other fan about recent events and the possibilities for the future but I would hope those pom poms some cheerleaders are waving about doesn't obscure your vision :fishing:

I agree with the sentiment but your metaphor is fucked. If cheerleaders are obscuring our vision then you're watching the wrong thing.

maybe you're looking at the arse instead of the cheek!

Just read through, and this I found quite funny!

You get complimentary season tickets, but you are required to work match days, so ergo, you wouldn't be able to use your season tickets anyway??

I notice that Mike Spearman is now patron of the club according to the Swindon Advertiser. Nice pic of him stood next to Malpas at the Walsall game on saturday, complete with a matching (presumably club-issued?) coat on.  

I hope the press conference tomorrow throws some light on what the fuck shape the club new management team will take under the new consortium. I know I'm commenting on general rumours and supposition picked up on the net and in the press, but so far; James Wills on the board, Mike Spearman as Patron and Ben Lambert allegedly interviewing potential new recruits for the marketing department does make me a fucking tad concerned for some unfathomable reason :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  

Fucks sake, Fitton and Wray; please make things clearer tomorrow and end this fucking nightmare for us.

Carson is far from harmless. He's an odious little man,  who's hatred for normal supporters appears to be on a par with Diamndis.
Ben lambert should be judged on what he actually does, not by  who he is related to.
James wills, when I saw him at the fans forum struck me as being far from "nice but dim ". Dim yes, but really nice ?!
Mike Spearman , never had a problem with him.
As for Diamndis I wouldn't trust him to clean the toilets at SN1

Totally agree with the above sentiment, the whole thing could be sorted at the press conference tomorrow.
