Hmmm
Is it just me whose a bit cynical that the only direct quotes are from an interview that happened a few weeks back?
Also we can't even go into admin a third time can we?

Think it may be you being a bit cynical....we're fucked, it's just a case of tin hat and sand bags and see what's left after the fallout. |

A reduction in the monthly playing budget at Swindon - which is believed to be in excess of £250,000 - is likely to be a priority, meaning League One's fifth-placed club could be forced to sell players. Really £250,000 a month on playing budget? seems a bit high to me  |

I thought that, but on reflection...I think the court order applied to the previous Ltd company, which of course since the takeover has now been liquidated. As it is now a new Ltd company that no longer applies. |

There's no limit - we can go into admin as many times as a court will grant the order. But obviously each time you do so, certainly under the same directors, the less credible your argument that this will enable the company to restructure itself in the best interests of its creditors becomes |

I thought the comment related to the second time we went into administration and had condition imposed on us that we couldn't do it for the third time? |

That was just an urban myth I believe. There may have been some rumblings from the court along the lines of "You'd better sort it out properly this time because we won't be impressed if you turn up here again" but there's no absolute limit AFAIK. I'm sure Si Pie will be able to comment on this more fully. Although I'd still like to know whether if we go get a hat-trick of administration orders do we get to keep the judge's wig?  |
