you can't have cream, ice-cream and custard. Thats wrong. Custard all the way.

[Fred Elliot]

all 3 mate, all 3

Anyone every have rice pudding with custard.  Absolutely lovely!!  Custard must be thick though, and rice pud needs nutmeg!!

With regards to AF sorting out the debt, effin fantastic!!!  The man is a legend, I don't care being accused of blind faith the man has saved our club.

Oh and no more Bob Holt bs.

I think lebowski is right to question.

Im not suggesting that we start a campaign to get rid of Fitton or anything but all that has happened  is some new people have come in (of whom nobody really knows anything)and mde a whole set of new promises to act by a certain date and Swindon fans have decided to take them at their word.As far as  can see not alot has really changed,we're told to "trust" this lot but personally I think trust needs earning.

[janaage]

I think the reason most are happy is the fact that we now have three men involved who do have the money to get us out of the financial trouble.

I see no benefit in questioning their every move over the first few months.  Trust does have to be earned, but we already have them to thank for ridding us of the drip feeders who really did not have the backing to drive the club forward.

I'm glad that it's not a white wash on here and we're all going crazy about the takeover, but compare the 15 January to the 15 November and I think we can all agree that the future is looking a heck of a lot better.

To certain extent I agree.  Trust does need to be earned, however the right noises are being made to suggest that the trust is going to develop.  The fact that Mr Fitton has pretty much cleared up what everyone is goign to do at the club is a good thing, how many years did it take before the existence if Diamandis was ever confirmed.  I also get the impression that unlike the previous regime if we do need a few quid, they actually have it, which Wills et al never had.  Fitton's longstanding and committed attempts to by the club fill me with confidence too.

I can Lebowski/Oevil's point about 31st May.

But just consider the fact that Mr Fitton has taken control from today, that gives him 136 days to pay it. The last lot had 5 years. Can you see what people are getting at now?

[magicroundabout]

the main thing with the new board and the old lot are things are actually being done and being done in the right manner.

bills being cleared, embarGO being lifted etc.
these are big things for STFC as it was these certain items which could have seen us wound up.

as for now going out to buy players, spend this, spend that etc i'm more than happy with a couple of loan players and then build for next season which when the current boards true metal will shine through.
to get us out this league and to try and get us established as a decent championship club

Ok what I mainly dont understand is if these people are so minted why do they need 3 months to find the money?

I'm not slating them and im glad they've taken over but surely this is the million dollar question thats not being asked?If they have the money to pay it in May why havent they got it now?

I know I sound like a bit of a Bart here but its better to question than follow along blindly surely..

I wonder the same thing mate.

Although maybe they have good reason for it, and considering that are far better quailfied than myself at these things, I'll just accept that they know what they are doing.

[janaage]

Standard business practice isn't it, they are paying off the debts one by one, starting with the tax man, therefore our money stays with us longer, accruing interest etc.

I am purely speculating here btw, I have no understanding of how businesses work at all.

[axs]

I think is fucking fantastic news, it's all starting to come together, bills are being paid, embargo lifted and I'm chuffed to bits.

you beat me to it.was going to ask the same thing.
lebowski's point was perfectly valid too imo.
that said, i am no longer nervous about the clubs future
