I'm looking forward to the January window, when we get some fresh legs in.

*not sure if serious*

Am I completely imagining that he was working at a club we played fairly recently? I have a memory of Andrew Hawes mentioning him being in the Director's box as an away team director, but Google doesn't seem to think so.

I think you are thinking of Mark Devlin who is now at Leyton Orient after a spell with Brentford

I think Nemo is right somewhere, im pretty sure i heard an interview with NW on the radio before a game this season? Cant remember who it was against mind

Wrexham probably has a bit more potential just in the sense of being in Wales and a large catchment area (which we also have but probably not as much).

You look at where the likes of Cardiff and Swansea were 10 to 20 years ago and its easy to see why they were chosen.

Why you would chose the likes of Carlisle or some of the other clubs that have secured buy outs over Swindon though is beyond me unless its simply down to the amount required to secure the club and any silly demands the current board and leeches within are making.

I'm 99% sure that external parties have and continue to look into the takeover of the club. One relatively exciting consortium I think may have got quite deep into that happening but unfortunately nothing got done.

My concern is the same as yours and other supporters in that the club has more klingons that the starboard side of the enterprise who all either want their continued slice of the cake, or an unrealistic payday, for next to nothing. What's patently obvious to me is that money is being squeezed and squeezed out of the club. With a few more performances like Saturdays the clamour to get these people out of the club is going to get louder.

I assume that both Wrexham and Carlilse were on paper 'easy' to takeover/transfer of ownership. Sadly I think there is far far too much baggage at Swindon and I would imagine any takeover would not be simple at all. I mean are we 100% sure that the man who says he owns the club actually does?

Yeah probably who he is thinking of. Touch of class to Mark running Swindon at a very difficult time.

Both Mark and Nick have been to the club on Saturday afternoons this season.

Do you know any details about the consortium and why things didn’t progress?

‘Own’ is very much open to interpretation.

I can't actually remember who I heard it from so I don't even know how legit it was but from memory it was a group who were involved in another European team. (I think it was Holland) As for the finer details, again it's all word of mouth stuff so I suspect once they got to look at the books (arf) or what was going on behind the scenes they figured there was too much baggage.

I've no idea, but the current penny pinching at the club SURELY means something is happening? Or maybe I'm just being too hopeful after a weekend on the piss!

Well this is it? Perhaps the twisted lines of ownership puts off potential investors?

I heard this also. Was it AZ Alkmaar or someone like that? That rings a bell

Fuck me that is exciting.

sigh.
