Good article from todays Telegraph, talking about footballs wealth gap that has caused a divide between players and fans. It also mentions Lou Macari's upcoming book,which is due out next month.I wonder if Lou will comment on his time at STFC? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2008/07/14/sfngar114.xml

It says the book is about his life so I'm sure as a big chunk of his managerial career was at Swindon then it will be quite interesting to read

I hope that Lou will be quite candid about the highs and lows of his time at the County Ground. I also wonder if he's now prepared to talk about the cash payments (which was rife in football at the time) and the subsequent demotion in 1990. A lot of us remember that the prosecution of the club, was driven by Arthur Sandford at the football league.I for one will always be grateful for the support within the media, from the likes of Mike Ingham (Radio 5 football correspondent) and Patrick Collins (Mail on Sunday) But i won't forget the likes of the Venables sycophant, Jeff Powell (Daily Mail) who took great delight time and again,in saying that we should be made an example of and that we deserved everything that we got.

Wasn't it the Sunday People that first exposed the story? Cunts.

Yes it was the Sunday People and the journo John Dillon.He actually got an award for the breaking of the story.

I'm also a Trust member,but unfortunately wasn't able to make that evening.Would it be possible to post a brief synopsis, of what Lou had to say about the illegal payments, please?

Basically Lou said that the players were paid pitiful salaries and the bonuses were limited by the FL. He thought the players deserved better and so did the chairman, Hillier. So they did it to boost wages. I dont think anyone was going to try and sour anything by asking too much about it. End of the day theres a legend in the room. He certainly didnt say anything about the Newcastle game or any of that. Its not really groundbreaking stuff. He doesnt point any fingers.
