Sorry, but what does 'It's all a bit Jim Little' mean?

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

That "No smoke without fire" mantra that keeps being rolled out is bollocks. Years ago maybe, but not with the internet being full of utter rubbish in the main.

I'd wiped a lot of that from my memory, good grief that time was a complete clusterfuck... |

Morfuni has been discussing Swindon related matters/concerns with certain sections of the Town fanbase. This in the real world, away from the muddy waters of the internet. That is factual information but because I'm not personally privy to those full conversations and how they are being interpreted by the fans I typed 'allegedly', 'potential' and 'no smoke without fire'. Apologies. |

There could be a Chelsea situation playing out here. Abramovic owns the Team, ground, hotel parking etc lock stock and barrel. He does not however own the pitch outright. That is owned by fans and is the gaurentee that the oligarch cannot rice roughshod over everyone and everything.

RA doesn't own the ground. |

Thanks. I'd forgotten that Little was the mouthpiece of BEST Holdings. |

Were they the Portugeezers?? Where we were looking at potentially having (former) scummer Rufus Brevitt as DOF? Or was that a separate complete and utter clusterfuck which we miraculously avoided? |

I think it was the same cluterfuck. There was some dodgy agent involved somewhere as well. |

From Power’s statement today, he denies any offer but I’m sure I can detect he’s fairly close to an exit sometime after the ground/training ground has been sorted. He mentioned 2 years.
For those more clued up, how does he make money from the CG once he’s got the 50/50 sorted?
