So it appears that according to the BBC the new Consortium exists of the same old people .. the Willses and Diamandis alongside a new shady Portugeezer.
With this in mind obviously we will be subjected to the same old shit this season and next from them ...
Should we realistically be looking to set up a new AFC Swindon backed and supported by the Trust and Bill Power? I for one would welcome it even if it meant starting in a lower league and groundsharing with Supermarine to begin with.
(Worth noting that obviously the court case with Power might delay any hope of this and the CVA renegotiation still has to be decided upon by the creditors - unless Portugeezer pays it off.)
NB This assumes that the BBC article is correct in stating that the new consortium consists of the Wills and Diamandis and a new investor and that as it states the Wills will retain a majority shareholding

No Any AFC Swindon would fail. Any disgruntled fans are more likely to go watch Supermarine who are 2 promotions off the conference.

"The club has previously said a new consortium of investors would include long-time owner the Wills family, their advisor and club general manager Mike Diamandis, and a new investor
The Wills family have two directors on the club's board (Sir Seton and son James), and remain the majority shareholder"
Thats what it says on the BBC article .. I dont know how accurate and up to date they are tho

Whilst I am not wildly optimistic, we have to wait and see what the new lot have planned . It could well be that the old guard will be gone shortly - I think we just have to wait and see for a while. |

Bill Power had expressed an interest in taking over a league football club, not founding a new non-league one.
What makes you think he'd be interested, is he actually Santa?

the BBC are just taking that from the last article they published weeks ago - they don't have any new news on who will be running the club.

I have a feeling you could be right .. fingers crossed Whats really annoying is the lack of information from the club and if it is lazy editing by the BBC then that is bloody annoying too .. |
