STEVE Murrall has claimed that he did not resign his position on the board of Swindon Town following his departure as general manager in October. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/10850027.Former_Town_general_manager_says_he_did_not_resign_board_role/?ref=rss Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: 4D on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 10:29:02 I see fredi is in the comments section of thisis

Perhaps expanded a little, but the base of it all, spot on
Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: Exiled Bob on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 13:12:27 Fredi said 6 months ago that Lee Power was already the owner if I recall. Turned out not to be true.....
He/she said at the at the start of the season all the overpaid players would be sold off.....I would imagine most of us saw that coming. He/she also said Wes would be sold as well as Nathan Thompson I seem to remember. Both are still here for the time being, but, as is always the case with a small club like ours, they will be sold off at some point. Fredi strikes me as being like a fairground fortune teller. Come out with a few snippets to entice people in then feed them with bullshit, sometimes with just a hint of truth in it somewhere, giving the impression when some of it comes true that he/she is "in the know".

Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: derbystfc on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 14:37:08 It was stated that Power was the owner 6 months ago, yet it has only been confirmed that the football league have granted clearance for the option, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the option was put forward to the football league 6 months ago was it?
Also, and this is the interesting part, Fredi 6 months ago was hinting at Crouch, the accountant. What is more interesting if i remember correctly, that Fredi stated that Crouch involvement should be a positive thing. that was mentioned 6 months ag0 Another thing mentioned 6 months ago by Fredi that people on thisis and by some on here were calling bollocks was this flash 1.2M that was put in, and the quickly withdrawn once the football league liftes us out of umbungo. This has now come to light. No one, knew of the merc's, until Fredi brought it up, ok, so it wasnt as sever as what fredi made out (or led to beleive?), but was still pretty close to the mark. The things that still need proofing/disproofing, is the notion that Jed/Murrel/ANO took money out of the club in 'consultancy fees'. I know murrel posts on here, and im not calling anyone a lier. but when someone has been hitting close to the mark, im not writing off what they say by calling them an attention seeking c word. It's not like its chang with a jason roberts story is it!

This has now come to light. But all this was in the Adver and common knowledge. Crouch listed himself on Linkdin as a Swindon director and everyone knew that the football league wanted £1.2m put into an account to bring us out of the embargo.

Crouch listed himself on Linkdin as a Swindon director and everyone knew that the football league wanted £1.2m put into an account to bring us out of the embargo. Do apologise, I dont know how to seperate quotes. On your first point, Fredi was actually hinting before the linked in thing by crouch himself had appeared, to a point he actually gave the intials. The secound point, yes the football league want the 1.2m to lift us out of embargo, but what wasnt known at the time, and what fedi was talking about, was that this 1.2m was quickly soon after taken out the club. It's quite clear that whoever this fredi is, knows a lot more then the 'average' fan who claim to be ITK. What is baffling me, and one thing I cant work out, if we are having suppliers go unpaid or under payment plans etc as has been stated on thisis/Murrell interview, if we are rubbing peanuts together, why fork out £400k on Luongo, and 100K on Bryrn It doesnt make sense.

Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: PetsWinPrizes on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 15:22:38 I don't think we actually forked out anything for Luongo. (And perhaps not Byrne), it's a 'deal worth' 400k. So if we sell him they get their 400k back and, presumably, a healthy cut of anything on top of
Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: derbystfc on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 15:28:12 Yes it was. It was common knowledge at the time. Jayo had it bang on. What, that the 1.2M was taken out of the club as soon as the football league gave the approval?? Because it wasnt, until Fredi started posting on thisis. I do have to point out at this time, I think a load of whats posted on thisis, is complete tripe, and frankly embarrasing, but, you can spot someone who does have a bit of clue Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: jayohaitchenn on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 15:28:27 It doesnt make sense. You're dangerously close to saying something intelligent. Careful now. Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: derbystfc on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 15:38:49 I have my moments, not many, but when i do, i go a bit dizzy

I do have to point out at this time, I think a load of whats posted on thisis, is complete tripe, and frankly embarrasing, but, you can spot someone who does have a bit of clue I, and many others, have always accepted that Fredi is somebody that was privvy to certain information and probably worked at the club. This would explain how she was aware of Crouch etc. That does not mean, however, that what she says is something that we should necessarily be concerned about. She takes benign facts and twists them into something bad. It's funny that you should mention the Mercs because that is a prime example of her MO. The hiring of company cars is something that is very much standard and barely even worth a mention yet she tried to convince us (and succeeded where some people are concerned) that there was something sinister afoot in regard to the car hire. She is taking base facts and elaborating on them with spin and bullshit to paint a different picture. She can fuck right off. Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: derbystfc on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 16:03:33 Do we know Fredi is a she??
If so, is she fit? Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: blinkpip on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 17:30:31 Fredi is Lee Power ;)
Not really it's Rodney Dad. Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: corner on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 17:49:03 Hi Steve, :bye: :girlgiggle:

Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 20:33:16 Someone must know who Fredi is and if they do they should call them out, simply because it would entertain me.
Former club secretary perhaps? Or one of the bar staff? Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: stevemurrall on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 20:38:18 Steve, do you know who this Fredi character is? no idea, what I would say is they seem to know basics but not actual facts, for example they said when we entered the club the season ticket money was there, it wasn't we didn't get any season money for 2 months. They also state Jed sent money to his account in Malta, I can assure you he has no acount in Malta, I can also assure you that I took no money execept what I was entitled to through contractual agreements. I think Fredi, whoever they are are either linked to the previous incumbents or to Lee and his entourage..... but should get facts before making accusations. In reality though, don't know and don't care there is obviously an agenda, predominantly anti Jed...

Did it go bust? no, I beleive they are still trying to recover from the disaster.. a lot was learnt and I don't believe we lost anything from the actual nights, just didn't make what we expected.

We did expect more income as it was supposed to be a series of concerts, however as we had no costs for the concerts then we could not be down 50k, we may not have recieved the revenue we expected for the night but the costs were not ours so we couldn't have been down anything... just saying. Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 20:55:10 Fair enough. I thought that I recalled that the club had to front some of the money for the second night to go ahead due to the poor ticket sales or something like that.
I think it's firmly put the nail in the coffin of the CG as a live music venue Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: stevemurrall on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 20:56:50 Fair enough.

I think it's firmly put the nail in the coffin of the CG as a live music venue we did have to pick up some costs but it was more underwrite the payments rather than make them, these have been made by the promoters now.

The Adver interview was interesting but didn't actually tell us very much.....it was all quite vague except for putting us right with regards to the money put in by lee Power. Any chance that you can elaborate on a few things?
- You say pressure was put on you to leave. Who by? - You say you didn't intend to resign from the Board. Can you / do you intend to do anything about this? - A "list of concerns" is mentioned. Can you say what these are (you said that you'd sent them to Jed but he's gone now so maybe you can enlighten us....)? - Why did you not inform anyone else on the Board (assuming you didn't...) about these concerns? - Did the fact that you kept quiet about these concerns have anything to do with you leaving? - Should we as fans be worried about these concerns? - Should we as fans, in your opinion, be worried about Lee Power taking over? - You say that "it feels as though it has gone backwards over the last six weeks". In what way? Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: stevemurrall on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 21:29:42 Top marks for coming on here Steve.

Any chance that you can elaborate on a few things? - You say pressure was put on you to leave. Who by? Lee - You say you didn't intend to resign from the Board. Can you / do you intend to do anything about this? I have taken advice but do not want to cause the club any issues. - A "list of concerns" is mentioned. Can you say what these are (you said that you'd sent them to Jed but he's gone now so maybe you can enlighten us....)? These concerns are just that and I do not want to accuse anyone of anything, they have probably been looked at and found to be unfounded, they were just my concerns. - Why did you not inform anyone else on the Board (assuming you didn't...) about these concerns? I informed the entire board of my concerns, hence why I am sure they have been reviewed and found to be non issues. - Did the fact that you kept quiet about these concerns have anything to do with you leaving? No, I always planned to leave aat xmas, I just thimk Lee wanted to get the decks cleared as soon as possible. - Should we as fans be worried about these concerns? If they have been investigated and found to be merely concerns that have no substance then no need for fans to be worried. - Should we as fans, in your opinion, be worried about Lee Power taking over? No, let's not forget Lee has invested in the club with real cash, he clearly has good football contacts and is a likeable fella, he does cut corners on procedural matters. - You say that "it feels as though it has gone backwards over the last six weeks". In what way? Just afeeling. Answers above battery dying so will be off now.. back on tomorrow. I'm zure zll will be well Title: Re: Adver News: Former Town general manager says he did not resign board role Post by: Exiled Bob on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 21:33:33 Thanks......let's hope so!
