New Manager Thread

[horlock07]

What is it with Currans old man? One minute he is a racehorse trainer and now a he has a packaging company, I honestly think no one has any idea. I know for a fact he is a 51 year old roofer who has a roofing company from Dagenham, done OK for himself but doesn't have football club type of money and hasn't won the lottery. Also, let's be honest, if Currans old man was pumping cash (which he hasn't) into the club wouldn't that be a good thing, shouldn't we be praising him if he was helping the club financially as the club would be in administration and its a fact LP has run out of money and the club will be going into administration in the next 3 or 4 week! I think there are bigger issues on the horizon! Curran is 20 and the constantly digging needs to be stopped, especially when Kovar & Baudry are making mistake and mistake! We have no manager and especially with everything going on at the club shouldn't  Swindon fans be sticking together instead of constant digging everything single thing that goes on at the club?

Thanks for the clarification Taylor.

He is a race horse trainer?

But that’s not his dad.

He started off on Southend’s books so an Essex link is obvious.

A one post wonder saying we will be in admin in the next 3 or 4 weeks.... come on then what's your 'sauce'?

I thought Currans dads name was John Curran and runs several businesses in Essex.

I don't think it should be surprising that Admin is a real possibility at the moment for any club let alone Swindon - unless clubs start to see some sort of bail out, there are bound to be clubs like ours on the verge of Admin while there is no dosh coming in.

I have no doubt that we and many other clubs are flirting with the prospect at the moment - that's why people banding around wild managerial names are kidding themselves IMO.  Until a revenue stream or bail out is in place we are stuck with what we have.

The players wages were paid late, the football league bridged a loan to Swindon Town, 270k on the last day of the month. If the Football league or the FA don't step in with a bailout next month, the club will get worse and may become another Macclesfield. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen. LP has funded Richie Wellens with many signings but now without the fanbase, ticket sales and sponsorships, the club is in serious trouble. My sources comes from someone very senior in the football club.

Financial resources empty, no cash, no wages, no club.

Any die hard religious Swindon Fans please start praying now we don't go into adminstration.

God bless you all.

Again, what is your source?

Someone very senior? Sounds like horse shit to me

absolutely Berni. Without financial help admin is the sideshow. surely the risk of going under is high.

with Curran, if he was playing in place of better players it would be a massive problem. He's only played in the pointless cup. Fans are always going to have views on players performance, right or wrong. In this case we should be buying him a pint as part of the team that exit the stupid waste of time.

with 'who is Curran sr anyway' - just say it if you know. If there's no transparency that's up to the owner.  But that leads to rumour and suspicion. That's the way it is.

Wellens lied then. said all wages were paid in time in yesterday's interview

He also said he ok'd all players signatures and wasn't forced to sign anyone

Must be someone of that ilk, putting a user name as the 'True' red points to someone trying too hard to make out they are ITK.

Don’t remember the EFL loaning any other club that was struggling to pay wages.
