New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

Its worth having a read through all the minutes etc as shows just how much has been done, and how much needs to be done.

Pleasingly, albeit I imagine he isn't doing it for the love and won't be coming cheap, Eddie Parladorio seems a very senior and clued up guy!

he does - FYI there is a thread about this now Horlock

I was about to post something similar. It sounds like there is £200k potentially owed to McGreal, Gilmartin, Curran and Jewell and £100k of a loan from 'able'. Hopefully the lawyer we have on the panel will be able to deal with those costs. My eyes shot out of their sockets when I saw Curran included in that claim!

Thought they all resigned. Fuck ‘em!

I can understand the surprise but TBH Curran had 2 years left on his 3 year contract, I am sure he would have got a decent wage of say £1,000 per week due to his fathers subsidising the club so 2 years at £50k per year then he will be paid up around £100k, even if he was only on £500pw thats still a £50k buyout of his contract.

Football contacts are a law unto themselves. Often when a manager resigns the club pay the remainder of his contract up in full. Why this has always happened I have no idea, its rare that a manager leaves and all wage ties are severed instantly.

Yeah you are right JJ, sadly! Money for old rope isn't it. (or was that part of the Twine sale, ho ho)

Or was that the real reason McGreal came - knowing there would be a constructive dismissal case to get fully paid up. Hope that prevents him for working in the meantime.

I thought the arrangement with managers and coaches is their wages get paid regular until they find another job or reach a compromise agreement with the old club.

You usually see them rock up at a new club when the settle their old club saying they have 'enjoyed a break from the game.

There are often arguements over taking a new job on less money as the old club will only pay the difference in salary and a lot of brinkmanship. Remember Phil Brown claiming he was owed money by LP.

I guess McGreal could argue constructive dismissal as he couldn't bring in the players he was promised. Whereas the club could say you didn't stick it out until the takeover and we've backed our new manager.

Reading between the lines i think it may be safe to say McGreal knew from day 1 what was going to happen and rocked up signed a very nice deal and fucked off knowing he is probably entitled to a pay off. 9/10 times it is likely to work but it looks like we have someone who is prepared to take it as far as they can and argue that the contract signed etc was dodgy

Yet another sponsorship deal announced today - Wagamama. Probably not huge but there seems to be one every week or so!

I wonder if it ever crossed Power’s mind to actually run the club honestly.

What’s the fat cunt doing nowadays?

Hi All, just so everyone knows the Standing v Power court case scheduled for this month in court has been suspended/moved into 2022 (May to Oct 2022), no reason given by the court. This does mean that any outcome from this of which the efl/fa might potentially take action on the club (hopefully not but we don't know if it will), is unlikely to be applied this season.

No doubt, in true Swindon style, we will therefore get promoted this season then get clobbered with a season fucking up points deduction next season!

Not sure what you'd been hearing to suggest otherwise.
