Update From Little Today.

[Fred Elliot]

The creditors have been extremely patient, as has the FL, as we have documented that a serious injection of cash was imminent.

If that cash was withdrawn then the creditors would bring the situation to a head very very quickly and force the issue

[Power to people]

They would not have a lot of choice really but to deal with the FC if the Portugeezers walked as there would be severe problems and the future of the club would come into serious question and be in serious jepordy.

It would be good for the takeover to either happen or not so at least we know what is going on.

[Simon Pieman]

Anyone think that a certain person doesn't want this takeover to happen and is stalling it just as before with the Fans Consortium?

[flammableBen]

That pesky Bill Power.

[Simon Pieman]

I meant Paul Davis. He obviously has some hidden agenda

TrustSTFC, the Swindon Town Supporters` Trust, is backing manager Paul Sturrock`s call for clarity from the owners of the club. The manager said a week ago that the fans deserve to know what is happening to their club and he is absolutely right about that.

The takeover deal has been "days away from completion" with "just some minor paperwork to be completed" for several weeks now and we are apparently no closer to a conclusion than when it was first announced. Today`s statement from Jim Little is welcome but tells us nothing we haven`t heard before, and will do nothing to allay fans` very real and legitimate fears as to the future of their football club. If Mr Little wants to reassure fans perhaps he, or the current board of the club, could start by answering the following questions :-


Who is in charge of our football club?
If this takeover goes ahead, who will then own the club - real people, not shadowy holding companies?
Will Jose Veiga resign his position as an agent if he is, as we are told to become General Manager? FA regulations are very clear that agents are explicitly prohibited from having either a financial or managerial interest in any FA-affiliated club?
What is going on with Paul Sturrock? When will he get the clarity he so clearly wants regarding his own position at the club?
And most importantly, as it still remains a real and imminent threat to the club`s very existence, If the two sides cannot agree a deal can they tell us who is going to pay the CVA and when?

Until these questions are answered, and the need to do so becomes more pressing every day, Swindon Town fans will continue to be fearful for the future of their football club.

This guy Little seems to think that he can run out a story in the midst of a crisis, and everyone will be impressed, and just shut the fuck up asking questions.

Well, your wrong, Mr!

If you want the respect of fans, answer the fucking questions put to you by the Adver sports desk and the Trust. If you don't answer them, we can assume that something isn't right and that the takeover is in fact a crock of shit. That may not be the case - not blaming Little or Best holdings till the facts (pah ) are known - but at least credit the fans with some fucking inteligence and tell us what is going on.

Oh, and leave Sturrock to do his job. You obviously know fuck all about soccer(sic) as a sport, so you should respect a man that does.

as much as i agree with your post, you can not use the statement 'credit the fans with some fucking intelligence' and mis-spell the word intelligence!

[flammableBen]

Despite being Chairman Designate, or whatever. I've got the feeling that Mr. Little has his hands tied to his ankles via his mouth at the moment, as in probably being told not to say stuff to the media by whoever his bosses are.

Doesn't mean I like it, but I find it hard to blame little Jim. He has a nice face.

He is a cunt, but there's no need to be bitter about posting like a mega fool.
