Jed comes across as some dodgy wideboy car salesman with these answers - and this is only crystallised with his twitter chat. As someone else said, he sounds like he's giving answers to the police.
I am not a pessimistic type of person, but the future is not looking at all bright.

I think the only thing linking Crouch to us is a LinkedIn page here. If he's still undergoing the strenuous and probing FL tests then that might explain why Jed wouldn't confirm anything. Fredi has disappeared off the face of the earth since Sam Morshead attempted to contact him/her. |

Q: Hi Jed, are you making this up as you go along?
Don't bother answering, it's a rhetorical question.

And by his comments about fans representation. We're all a bunch of busy bodies don't you know?! If he thinks things are bad now, wait until a few fans mobilise if we're not doing well next season. We'll see how big a headache he has then eh? |

Very worrying times ahead. More questions than answers after reading that.

In fairness, that's more or less the same as the previous board - Wray only became keen on fans on the board after he was sacked as chairman, he was similarly dismissive of the idea while he was in a position to deliver it (and be affected by it) |

I really want to hear from Crouch.
He seems to be the real deal and could, hopefully, diffuse some of the concerns.

what's all this about Power and his supposed links with Diamandis? It's news to me.

Someone posted it the other day on here...can't remember who. Frankly I don't believe it. |

Yes, I don't think (meaningful) fans representation will ever happen. It was just the abrasiveness of the answers towards the busybodies which pissed me off. |

Not a wonderful set of replies to some very valid questions but realistically I was not expecting anything else.
I am not convinced either way about the board as yet only that they none of them were in the Sunday Times "rich list" (which does not mean that much as to put a load of money into a lower league football team is not the most sensible of ideas), but having a couple of hundred million in the bank or having top business acumen certainly helps and tbh I do not see a great deal of that yet.
As said elsewhere, Swindon fans are pretty fickle it must be said, it takes ten good wins on the bounce to get the floating supporters up and a couple of bad results to lose them and that has always been the case. If the reduction in wages means that we end up as mid table mediocraties with gates of 6000 then so be it, but I do not want to see us struggling from the opening day with a small squad full of untried youngsters. On the other hand if KMac stays then hopefully he may be able to pull in some younger players from higher division clubs who have not quite made the grade, they are around Ritchie/Caddis/Ferry being prime examples.
