James Collins

[Peter Venkman]

Interesting posts on the Shrews forum about them trying to sign James Collins back in the transfer window, they genuinely don't like us!

I actually find quite humerous but sad sacks of shit is probably closer to what they should be called.

No idea, I am certain we paid them up, hence the M'Bongo. They seem to think we do though.

That forum is just silly.

JJ, you should know better than pay any attention to it mate.

They're a bunch of cunts! Sadly, it would appear they've secured their pitiful existence in this division. They are the new Oxford United. Bring it on Salop bastards 

[Dostoyevsky]

Traipse along to your legoland stadium with your knuckles dragging. 5 against 1 at your local retail park, you dirty bastards. You are my number one hate figure in this division.

Oh god, dont mention shrewsbury.  It starts im off again.

Saxondale, I lived there for many years, I harbour a great deal of embitterment towards them. These are the muppets who'd happily see Man Utd and Liverpool fans in their pubs watching Premiershite, but when they found out I was a Swindon fan I got collosal grief. They victimise weak targets. They are fucking cowards.

I am heartily sick of them dragging our club down. They have an affixation with us that borders upon perversion.

[Dostoyevsky]

Savour that, Salop dollop of turd.

This is what Graham Turner has written in today's programme notes-

The resignation of Paolo Di Canio and his staff from Swindon at a time when they have gone top of the table has brought plenty of media attention to the situation. While not disputing their right as a team to be league leaders - they certainly have a good squad of players - the way it has been achieved for me is totally wrong. They have signed players who they clearly could not afford resulting in them going close to administration, but only the prospect of a last minute takeover saved them from a third insolvency event. How they run their club is up to them and clearly Paolo Di Canio did an excellent job there, however their lack of good business practice impacts on others.
Our own involvement and why the situation bugs me is that they owe us money for the transfer of James Collins. They are over a month later with their payment and we have no indication of when it might be paid. The Football League cannot or will not come to our aid in our efforts to receive payment. We even made an effort in the transfer window to buy James back and, although the amount owed will not put too great a strain on our cash flow, perhaps others who are owed money are not in such a fortunate position. It is not a level playing field when one club can top the league table with players they can't afford while others strive to live within their means but are then perhaps accused of lacking ambition.

Bitter old cunt!

IIRC wasnt the reason we had the embargo because we paid the Collins/TAH fees upfront?  The remainder was if we went up.

[Flashheart]

That is stupid on so many levels.

If we are late paying them he is entitled to be pissed of isn't he?

Though he has missed the point most league teams are funded by a benefactor and that finances can change.
