@SamMorshead_SA: McCrory: "This is a tremendous football club and people need to call it Swindon Town.
WTF ?
I assumed that is opposed to 'Paolo Di Canio's Swindon Town' which, If i'm honest, I'd fully agree with |

The impression I'm getting is of 4 blokes who have landed a club that they didn't think they were going to get. And now that they have, they're thinking 'Shit, what happens next?'- No approaches to potential managers. PDC exit has, apparently, taken them by surprise and, as yet, do not even have a short list drawn up for a replacement.
- No plans for the ground.
- Ambiguous about Nick Watkins' future.
Sorry to be so down on this again. Appreciate I'm sounding like a broken record, but this does not inspire confidence. Agreed. This still feels like what's happened: http://thetownend.com/index.php?topic=50496.msg1154347#msg1154347 |

Sam Morshead @SamMorshead_SA
McCrory says he will resolve any late payment of Collins fees to Shrewsbury shortly.

Rice says they wont be forced into making quick decisions.
I'm sorry Mr Rice, but you're not in a position to do that

No you're not. I've been saying this since the first stuff about "anonymous members" surfaced. The precedents for "preferring to remain anonymous" are not encouraging and the reasons rarely good. |

No, that is the most significant piece of non-information so far . "A couple of business backing us", who and why? That's not a negative question, that's a fundamental one. |

Absolutely right. Names names names. Until I hear a real, meaningful name that isn't "DodgyCrest Holdings 63 ltd (Cayman Islands)" I'm going to assume it's Risdale, Bates, or both. |

McCrory: "I'd like to thank the fans for welcoming me and giving me the time. I will treat their club the way a football fan would."
I'd rather you treated the club in a way that a chairman should TBH

This could be dig by Jed. Paolo will have to consult his legal team. |
