Just for those who missed the pre-match interview with Fitton. He sounded quite angry.
Swindon are appealing a court decision on Monday over £300k that a certain Mr Diamandis is trying to claim from the club.
This initially started off back around the playoff final, and were the reason behind Fitton's bafflingly angry comments after the play-off final.
Fitton said the original decision in favour of Diamond Mike was baffling and they started the appeal process immediately.
Think that's all correct, I'm sure the BBC will put the interview up or something else about it shortly, but I'm going on memory a bit here.

Well done Ben pretty much covers what was said.Fitton did say that they probably should have revealed this earlier.
Deserves to have its own thread,rather than being lost within the match-day thread,which a lot of people might miss.

Fuckin' hell...Diamond Mike. This is obviously the invoice for his 'services/pay-off', which he thought he deserved.

I hope he doesn't get a penny. In fact, I hope he somehow manages to commit perjury and ends up in the slammer.
Now, where's that road re-surfacing kit?

You never see Rich Pullen and Diamond Mike in the same room...food for thought that.
Mike Diamandis, Bob Holt and Sandy Gray - gods amongst mere mortals.

How serious do you think Fitton was when he intimated he'd walk if the decision went against us?

Dunno Batch.
Just to summarise roughly what he said.
The comments he made after the Play-off final related to the Diamandis case. It was around this time the claim was lodged.
The claim is for around £300,000.
He's very angry about this.
When asked about the AGM and doing co-commentary next Saturday, he said somthing like. "Well, if the decision goes against us in the court I may throw my toys out of the pram and not be around for the AGM or Rover's." Shaun did say he had a smile on his face, but it worries me.

We get £250k for Morrison. The fans question why the board aren't immediately spending that money on replacements. The board then publicise a possible bill for £300k.  |
