Administration

[Flashheart]

They are quite the bunch on that yellows forum, they seem to struggle to take anything in no matter how many times you try and explain.
Must stop looking, I have spent far to much time on their recently.

You're wasting your time.

Just wait until the dust settles and then remind them about their own finances as Si Pie has posted. Don't expect a reasonable response even then though.

Technically Rivals owned the site. They went after whoever was running it/administrating it (a guy called Neville). They backed off before it got to court.

But I take your point re: Twitter/, facebook, etc.

Not me,for the record.

How does the law work in regards to forums? The oxford one for example,say Black decided enough was enough could he take legal action

Now I see.

This could be interesting.

A major factor in Swindon's demise have been the actions of  Her Majesty's Treasury who have cut a tax loophole that the dirty thieving bastards were using to avoid paying National Insurance and Corporation Tax. Players were being paid 'gifts' from a holding company registered in the tax haven of Lichtenstein set up by Black and fellow wide-boy directors. Black's company Betfair, the company bankrolling STFC paid only 0.5% of their income in corporation tax last year. When this loophole was closed Black's enthusiasm for funding Di Canio's wild spending sprees very quickly cooled.

The club are soon to be taking legal action against the football league paper,Talk Sport and various other news outlets.Feel free to read tomorows adver for proof of this.

My reason for visiting is not for a load of back and forth crap it was to give your admins a little heads up that the quote i have quoted is also on Nick Watkins desk and the site owner can expect contact very soon.

I fully accept a barrage of abuse for this but to have plain outright lies in the public domain is illegal and will be acted on.

It may be wise for admin or the poster to remove these comments

Who is swindonlad on the scummers forum then?

[tans]

[mrverve]

[Flashheart]

I see mystical goat is about.

Perhaps you should get on there and let them know it's genuine? Or not..... their complacency could make things more interesting.

[Flashheart]

If you haven't taken screen shots already........ get on it.

Feels a bit petty, but I was riled and it's a quiet Sunday night, so I filed my tuppence worth.

Dear Mr Emery,

I am writing to register my anger and indignation at the biased, lazy and ill-informed piece posted by your staff writer Chris Dunlavy in this week's edition of the FLP on the subject of Swindon Town's alleged "cheating". No doubt you will feel the inverted commas in your headline are a clever protection against libel, but the fact is that the article is fundamentally defamatory.

Your "journalist" (see what I did there?) jumps on a popular theme of modern times in berating the immorality of football's owners with respect to debt, but the first qualification of a journalist is to check facts, and Mr Dunlavy has clearly got carried away with his theme without verifying that on this occasion, the debts in question are all held by the consortium of current shareholders. This simple fact crucially undermines his article, and your paper for publishing it. If you traffic ill-informed bile like this, possibly driven by petty local rivalry (given Mr Dunlavy's stated location as Oxford in his LinkedIn profile), then why should you expect anyone to buy your paper when they can read equally inane and random opinions on messageboards?

I'm sure the prospect of losing sales of your paper in Wiltshire motivates you even less than it did The Sun in Liverpool, but if you have a sense of decency (and moderately informed legal counsel), you will print an apology and retraction because it's the right thing to do. I'd also like to think that your response to Mr Dunlavy will help to make him a much better journalist in future.

Yours sincerely,

[tans]

Nice one RF

I think that going into administration could be good for you. A few points deduction and Dickanio to walk and I'm sure you'll find your true level

[Ardiles]

Some really good letters there, chaps.  Will be interesting to see if there is any response next week.

[Sippo]

let the poxford scum fester in their own bitterness on their own. I don't read their shit.

Same as. It gets tedious...

[axs]

So you've turned up for an intellectual debate then.

Hopefully you will find some correct punctuation.
