Just heard on Beeb Swindon that ex-QPR Chairman Bill Power is now a director of STFC, having put a million quid into the club.
Mark Devlin was interviewed, explaining that there is more to come and how the investment came about.

Are we attempting to fill the blackhole here, or is this money for investment in the team? (He asked out loud....)
Sounds like a ray of light, in an otherwise dreadful season either way....unless its another hoax

Lots of speculation now that as Bill Power is Ian Holloways BIG MATE .. that Holloway will be the new manager of Swindon  |

Cheers TT, i think you'll excuse my cynical post, due to all the usual load of bull posted on STFC forums :roll: Great news though, hopefully paving the Hollo-way |

Hopefully this will be the start of the rebuilding job we need to do over the summer - who knows, in years to come we might look at this time as being the start of a new age? Blimey, I've allowed the wave of optimisim to get the better of me. Reg, get over here and be cynical.

Fuck Reeves and Woan, this club needs a change in management.
I'd welcome Mr Holloway but he'd need to be able to bring his own backroom staff in.

Inclined to agree Jan - nothing against Iffy Reeves or Woan (got a lot of time for all of them and certainly think Iffy and Reeves have the potential to have a bright future ahead of them in management). Just that we need to rebuild the club from top to bottom and part of that might need to be clearing out the playing staff, management, chairman etc. This is a great opportunity for a fresh start.

Exactly a new direction and fresh start is what's needed. Thanks for your efforts Iffy, Woanie and Reeves but we need a new team (management wise) in and hopefully someone like Ian Holloway will be at the head of that team.

Someone needs to think of a song for Saturday at Ashton Gate.
Needs to include:
We're going down but we've got a million pounds ...
