If anything it's a cry from PDC to the new owners to say "come on, show me you have the ambition and drive to continue taking this club forward or else i'm out".
But will the new owners do that? We haven't heard anything from any of them.

These new owners need to get involved a bit more now. Not nessesarily with the public but with PDC and those currently involved at the club. They need to outline their plans etc and what they want to achieve here.

I blame Andrew Black personally, he can go and get GRID for all I care.

Even if the lot taking over don't complete, there will be another lot like them in the wings.
I've got a horrible feeling we're about to lose Paolo, go back to being a club with little real financial firepower or footballing ambition and a 'hardworking' but amateur board with no real money who are in it for the lottery ticket of the property deal that will probably never arrive.
Championship - we could almost touch it.

Is anybody popping to Banbury tonight to tell our new owner to pull his finger out?

The new board had better be in a meeting with Paolo right now, giving him every reassurance that this has just been a really shit few days and that it won't continue like this once the takeover is complete.
As we speak, the front man is talking at a fans' forum at Banbury United, so I wouldn't hold your breath. Would completely understand if he moved on now. The transition of ownership has been handled unprofessionally . We all deserved better than this...players, supporters and, yes, PDC. If he leaves, there will always be a welcome for him back in Swindon. And hopefully in happier times.

Tomorrow at Crawley we need to show him that we want him to stay. Would be great if someone could knock up a banner saying 'Paolo please don't go' or something along those lines.

I'd say Di Canio is as close as you can get to irreplaceable - may seem dramatic and over the top but he's just, well different isn't he. One of a kind.
think our new owners must be bricking it now?! There will be close to mutiny scenes and I kid not!! Paolo to a lot of us was Swindon

Exactly, except for the 'other lot waiting in the wings' bit. Not sure I believe there were other credible parties if the most credible is this shower.

Anyone think there is any chance we will get a statement from the club/owners tonight?
I would be very surprised.
