I want to know what's happening.

* A rumour was started on a site that has less credibility than The Sun.
* The same rumour then got talked about in more than one place, which made it seem more real.
* Gary Rose mentioned it's possible they have bid.

Meanwhile on Teh Interwebz...

* Caddis and Richie are going and for a lot less than the £50m we consider would be fair.
* Town have accepted bid.
* "My mate works at Ipswich and Richie and Caddis are due for medicals this week."
* Paolo hasn't agreed to sale, "very unhappy."
* Paolo is so disgusted with the board by selling his players he's also going to walk - apparently he's heard muttering on his way out that he thinks P*xford's a nice City.
* The board are trying to sell the club and are prepared to fold it if we receive no bids.
* The Council are selling the ground to developers and we have to find somewhere else. "Chippenham looks convenient."
* New consortium comes in to save us "with more money than you can shake a stick it."
* pauld logs on and to sell some orange hats.
* mexico red changes his username to mexico seagull.

I say we just relax a bit. Most of us aren't women, mental patients or children.

We shouldn't sell anyone(unless they are surplus)until the end of the season. Hopefully the players will respect that and if they want moves, they will get them during the summer.

And if it is to Ipswich Arriba, then we may well be in the same League as them next season!

Personally, can't see them going as something really special is going on at this club right now and long may it continue!

Because i don't think they are woth £3 million for the both of them.  At best Ritchie is worth £750k-£1 million, and Caddis somewhere around £500,000.

They are good league 2 players who could probably do a job in league 1.  Neither set the world a light last season (all be it they were in a shit side).

Let them move to Ipswich for £3 million, and i bet you in 3-4 years time, they will end up like Billy Painter, Sam Parkin, Rory Fallon etc etc.

....and where will we be in 3 or 4 years time if we continually roll over and sell our best players first chance we get?

All of those players you have listed have played alot more Championship football than we have since player & club parted company.

I can't see them being worth any less in the summer, if not more as an integral part of a season as successful as the one we could potentially have.

If we fail to gain promotion, we can cash in. If we get promoted we can still cash in, but will also have the increased revenue from League one and possibly a trip to Wembley in the JPT.

Selling now would piss off the Manager and the fans. Yes, we might be able to replace them, but it would be a gamble. I can't see the board being prepared to take that gamble.

The situation with Austin last year was very different as he was actively agitating for a move which, as far as we know, Caddis and Ritchie aren't.

Probably?? There's no 'probably' about it. You are vastly underestimating their ability and importance to the team.

This season we have beaten three League One teams and a Premier League team.

We should be trying to keep the regulars for as long as possible, if we got promoted this season I honestly think we'd only need one or two players (to the starting line up) to mount a significant challenge in the division above.

The loss of Ritchie/Caddis would no where be near as devastating to Swindon as when we lost Austin.

Somehow I thought I'd typed that too, but obviously not! Smiley

Just shows how well we're performing right now.

The sensible thing to do would be to sell the at the end of the season if they want to move on, if they are really that good then they will generate a lot more attention between now & May in a promotion side.. They get a move & increase their bank balance beyond what STFC could provide.. We get a hefty transfer kitty & paolo finds adequate replacements.
It's a winner all round
