Best say the board insisted on £8m in the contract
the board say Best insisted onon the £8m. I dont mean to sound cynical but who the fuck would buy a club and say "we will only by the club if we can give you 8 million"

If it's a bona fide investor, why don't they release the name?
We had all this shit with BEST. Why is it always a fucking state secret?
If I had the money and wanted to invest, I wouldn't want to be anonymous.
Secrecy breeds mistrust, just come out and name them...................................
..............If they exist. Good post, completely agree.. Just FOR ONCE why can't they name names..? Or, God forbid, tell us how much money is being invested.. |

Oh, OK, just surfed over to the Adver and it's online thanks! So here we go again the club statementfests(tm) contradict yet another party they do business with. Suprise, suprise. I assume that if this £8m clause is true Bob Holt is currently penning his apology to the Advertiser. Thought not. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/display.var.1764798.0.war_of_words.php
MYSTERY surrounds last night's breakdown of the Portuguese takeover as Town look ahead to a future with a potential new saviour.
County Ground officials insist the protracted negotiations with Best Holdings were finally ended due to the time being taken to conclude a deal.
A club statement has denied a provision in the original contract for a payment of £8million to major shareholders the Wills Family.

But the Town hierarchy admitted last night the clause did exist as revealed by the Swindon Advertiser last week, although they insist it was submitted by BEST themselves and rejected by the club.
However, BEST front man Jim Little, pictured right, hit back, claiming the first they heard of yesterday's revelations was via a Town statement on their website and are now taking legal advice.
They accused yesterday's statement of contradicting the terms of the "latest contract" while saying the £8million payment over six monthly installments was in fact submitted by Town.
While claims and counter claims will undoubtedly continue over the next weeks and months, Swindon fans are left wondering who the potential new owner of the club is.
With some breathing space to their immediate financial crisis given, with a lock-out payment forwarded to the Inland Revenue, all concerned will be hoping the next few weeks of going through the books will conclude in a new era for the club.
Town's statement also revealed Jorge Rubenstein was a member of the BEST consortium.

So the upshot is that they have lied yet again.
Do we trust them about the "new investors"?
Fuck off do we.
Bring on Saturday.

just as an update to the myfootballclub.co.uk potential takeover
the website changed today to include extra functionality (PHASE 3 they call it) which has been introduced as they are VERY CLOSE to securing a club - it allows for voting on team decisions and videos etc

Which ever team they are trying to take over, it can't be STFC. Not enough money for the loan sharks.
I feel sorry for the fans of ANY club that is sold to this stupid idea & imagine most fans of most clubs would riot at the news.
