Xmas comes early for PdC

Standby for some more underachievers

Great news. Thanks Mr B.

"We need to concentrate on the embargo. There are some other financial issues going on behind the club but I don't want to go into that because that's under discussion."  Patey.

Is this Fitton/Wray stuff or something else I wonder. Either way, would Mr Black invest if it was bad news?!

we're going bust, we're going bust, we are swindon and we're going bust.

someone had to.

They have brought forward the money held in reserve for team strengthening in January!!  There will be no more money then apparently, got to shift out before bringing anyone in next year.

Perhaps that fella 20 years ago who used to dress like an arab at Town games knew something after all

Is that what Patey said, or are you making it up?!

If true, it's good to know the folks at the top are keeping a hand on the spending rather than just letting it run amok, that way ruin lies. But I think the key question right now is will this stop Di Canio fucking whinging?

Patey said the owners had injected more equity into the club


PdC could have Madonna sitting on his face and he'd still whinge about the minge

Well considering what he's compared Madonna to in the past, that's not a surprise

Who wouldn't moan about having madonna sitting on there face? have you seen her?

Bet she stinks

Yey! Trevor benijiman on loan

So let me get this straight.  The direct consequence of having the embargo lifted is that there's no cash left to bring anyone in if we need to?

Back to the football.

Nope

Lifting the ambargo means funds are available for players

Did SWP say anything else of note, any more idea about the ground redevelopment or future plans to bring in funders etc...

Get rid of Flint.

'Embargo lifted'....Good!

Really? From the games I saw last year I thought he was a 110% trier and was dominant in the air. I think the thing about him is that he needs developing. He's a very good non league/L2 defender with a great physique. He's still very raw and needs to be a bit less rash in tackling, which is the next stage of his development.

That is the equity held in reserve for January spending, it is coming in now to enable PDC to get some loan signings in asap.  According to Sir W. when January transfer window opens we will have to wheel and deal to get more bodies in - be interesting to see who leaves us then.

There is definitely room in january for players to leave and I thought a fair few that came to us were 6 months loan deals. Also besone was only given a 6month contract too.

Amongst those on the off must surely will be:

- Risser
- Cox
- Rooney x 2
- Caddis
- Benson
- Bessone
- Coke ?
- Bostock ?

Thought he had a good game last night.......... :D

I'm not sure we'll find it easy to shift Risser,Cox or L.Rooney. Benson should be saleable and Caddis will depend on his injury I assume. Coke and Bessone should be no brainers. Also not sure the other Rooney will stay if we can find an alternative.

I'd forgotten that some of those players were even on our books.  The required clear out in January would be no bad thing.

We'll need Bessone (or another LB)

We only have McEveley in that position at the mo.

Shame about Benson, I think PDC is wrong about leaving him out as often as he has.

Yes but I hope we dont ship out a load of shit and replace it with more shit!

The adver is reporting we could be bringing a new player in before the weekend on loan. That would be quick! I'm hope for a decent central mid

This was the best news from last night.

When is the loan deadline?

I miss the embargo

:clap:

Isnt it Thursday?

That's what I thought, could be a busy day tomorrow.

I thought Coke left weeks ago?

He did.

There was some mention of the fact that although both Coke and Bostock had gone back to their respective clubs, we were still paying their wages.

I'd assumed that SWP's comments yesterday, about making sure that everything was in order w/r/t fitness and contractual obligations referred to this.

ah, i see.

has Bostock gone back though? I was under the impression he was only having treatment at Spurs and would return at some point

I heard that Bostock had returned to receive treatment for the injury but I was sure that Coke had his loan terminated after an argument about his fitness by Paolo, I could be wrong though.

That is true for Bostock he will return to us after his injury heals but I understood that was not the case with Coke.

The Wednesday manager spat his dummy our cos PDC said he wasn't checked properly. Or something like that. Don't think he''l be coming back any time soon.

The embargo was a good thing - there's quality in the squad to get us up now.  I hope we ship out before we bring in another ten players.

With the Thompson twins getting a look in of late, Paolo might not be as quick to spend in the future... hopefully.

he was crap anyway

Bessone only has a contract til January at the moment.

It all kind of fizzled out?

Do they drink this in the Congo?
