Glad I'm not the only one who read that.
Yeah, but he's hardly towing the company line in his statement though! |

Well, I presume Patey the Matey was tapped up a while ago to replace Wray so it cant have been a knee-jerk reaction to something recent.
Summat must have been brewing for a while.

I am sure the board will be delighted that Paolo has decided to announce the blackhouse news before the club do
Should have got their shit together then. Good or bad for the club, who knows. But the way this has broken and the amount of information out the club has been slow coming and fairly scant. I note Wray's comments about being open with the fans, well lets hear it then. The worrying thing is if it comes to board v fans if PDC leaves. Black could just walk. |

BR:
I have also been informed that in view of this decision, one of the directors, Russell Backhouse may also step down from the Board.

Good to hear the new chairman reference the "3 year plan to get to the Championship" and "not a great change in direction" on the player interview.
But for balance also "we've spent a lot of money on players" and the the embargo may take "weeks" to resolve.

"It is important for me to have a team around me that I can trust. Jeremy Wray and Russell Backhouse, Phil Spencer and myself have worked tirelessly as a team to bring success to this club but now with Jeremy going and Russell potentially soon to depart, half of that team may soon be taken away, and, as much as I have loyalty to Swindon and its fans, I also have loyalty to Jeremy and Russell and these events have certainly changed the dynamics.

The usual stuff.
Money men ignoring how success on the pitch has been achieved in favour of boardroom shenanigans
Surely it's the 'money men' that enabled us to have success on the pitch? Or is di Canio, his backroom and all the players working for free? |

Paolo never does, it could go either way for sure but I didn't read that statement as black and white one way or the other. Maybe it's gone over my head. PDC said he'll be meeting up with the new guy, for all we know he could go in and be told he can get the investment to lift the embargo and he can carry on as he was, at which point I'm sure Paolo will forgive and forget. |

Initial reaction to the PdC statement was "he's walking" but having read a couple of comments here about Patey's first pronouncements it may well be that he can pursuade Paolo that the ambition and support for the 3 year plan is still alive. even if that happens there will still be a risk for a while that he will have a strop and just go.
It's never dull at Swindon Town anyway.
