Admin Ian M Posted October 24, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Swindon have had their last few matches called of because of international call ups in and international week so today when Liverpool recalled Brad Smith today I thought great GAME ON ! Then they go and sign Harry Toffolo from Norwich who is an England Under 19 international so now it looks like GAME OFF ! Toffolo wasn't in the last squad.

Wouldn't think so, time to find out who is and is not going and use their numbers. Expect it will make general sale but probably a few days later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swindon fan Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 And yet with the huge benefit of a wealthy fan/owner we find ourselves in the same league! Serious question here: how come, with having said benefactor, did you manage to get relegated in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 How many times have Swindon been in administration? I seem to remember a rule that you can only go into admin 3 times before expulsion and I'm pretty sure they've been in twice already. If they're in financial trouble again, it could be very serious for them or have I imagined all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question here: how come, with having said benefactor, did you manage to get relegated in the first place? Basically having a bad manager who signed bad players. Also constantly changed the starting eleven and played people out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swindon fan Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Andrew Black is the one we should have kept. Pity he wasn't even a football fan let alone a Swindon fan. I don't think it is entirely fair berating us for being a 'stepping stone' for bigger clubs young players. It's the nature of the beast when there is a tight budget (we are breaking even, you know!). We either sign journeymen dross or take a chance on youngsters and good coaching. At the moment it is paying dividends and we have our own youngsters who are worth a few millions if the need arises.

No problem being some sort of stepping stone. If it works for both clubs and it isn't done to excess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One BCFC Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Cannot see Luongo going for 2-3M! Infact the only player in Swindons squad I would hace would be Foderingham, who would be worth about 700-800k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swindon fan Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 In dreamland lad And what do you base your assumptions as to their value? I'm too old in the tooth to enter a pissing contest about it. It really doesn't matter to you if they are or not, just passing on what our Chairman values them at.

Admin Ian M Posted October 24, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 One of the top scorers in this League last season joined us for 750k, Freeman for around 500k. I think those valuations are pie in the sky. If not, you should be pissing this League given how your players are so much better than ours.

Aizoon Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 What! Swindon struggling financially, who would have thought? Seriously though if they ever got into administration again they seriously need to have huge sanctions against them. I believe the word "swindle" derives from the Bristolian pronunciation of "Swindon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Will the police try and get us all on the same couple of trains departing temple meads or won't they be too bothered.

Just don't wanna get caught up in any procession through the mean streets of swindle. When I have gone by train previously I've gone when I wanted, even at the other end the Police either just watched us out of the station or kindly suggested a pub 'where all the Bristol were going' that didn't work out too well I remember. Any chance of tickets going to general sale? Probably , but will be in short supply. I'm hoping they are so desperate for cahsflow they release more.
