That's it in a nutshell, the outgoings of high wages and a manger with expensive tastes was balanced with a substantial backer.

Unless Caddis is paid a paltry basic with huge financial payments when he plays I see no reason not to play him, in my mind not playing him just reduces his value every week and will end up us selling him on the 'cheap'.

The Caddis/Benson thing is something else that requires answering. As contracted Swindon Town players, they should really be involved. A little concerned that they have large appearance fees written into their contract which deems them unusable. If Caddis is to leave this club for free, it will be shambolic.

Sometimes you win a bid not because you're the best bidder, but because you're only the bidder.

Had there been any other viable candidate, I'm convinced JedCo would have come second.

To Black's credit, he wanted to deal with a consortium that wouldn't take the club through admin, and to JedCo's credit, they were the only group prepared to do this deal.

So who's to blame for all this? Black, Jed, Fitton, Wray, PdC? No-one really, everyone's a victim of circumstance. With the possible exception of Charlie Austin.

If he'd put away that goal at Wembley, we'd have been 'on-plan' and in the Championship. Black would have been less panicked because his investment was worth more, and there would have been more potential investors and he could have handed over to a new set of owners on a more sensible timetable. AND EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE. DAMN YOU CHARLIE AUSTIN.

In that case, I hold the FA and Wembley responsible... how long did they take to finally sort that pitch out?!

Regarding caddis, benson and co, think the club don't want them injured. Can't offload crocks.

Had there been any other viable candidate?  We did - allegedly - have a purchaser when Black wanted out at the end of the 2011-12 season, unfortunately the main backer died and nobody else came in, so it was left to Jed!!  As regards the blame game, Wray must take a lot of the blame, damned nice guy who couldn't say no to PDC's demands - he was allowing the club to run at a huge loss knowing full well that his mate was going to pick up the bill . . . .until the day came when Black said no more!  Those losses had to be addressed, hence the ridiculous money we got for Ritchie to avoid an immediate administration, as I have said in another thread whoever had come in and restructured the club would have been unpopular!

Agree with this. They were given a club with a fixed balance sheet, and a messed up P&L. They don't have their own cash to fix the P&L over a longer period of time, so it's shock treatment, austerity measures and blame everything on the last lot.
You sound just like David Cameron!!  Whatever is happening behind the scenes is really a fact of life in lower league footy, you cannot spend what you don't have unless you have a rich benefactor such as Brentford or Bournemouth!   Unfortunately, the current board are not Andrew Blackesque!

It was always sorted out. But because the FA/Wembley illuminati hated our 100% record, they hid a work experience kid under the pitch to bobble up the turf at exactly the right moment.

It's the fucking FA man, they hate us.

Bollocks, it was Shergar.

Edit: my sauces now tell me it was Pope JP II. He was fed up of Vatican City being a laughing stock in the world of Football, and so tabled a bid with Jimmy Saville, Michael Jackson, and Stuart Hall.

The plan to focus on youth came from that failed takeover.
