Guest Dorset Red Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Just using you as an example of how we have doen well in the Lita deal. As I have always said, Swindon are not rivals, I don't mind Swindon. I just feel that maybe Swindon might be a tad disapointed that we are getting more for a 'one-season' wonder. Take it as a dig if you want- it's not though!←Two problems with your argument.1 - We don't know what the Lita deal is worth2 - We don't know what the Parkin deal was worthMakes the rest of the discussion seem a bit pointless really doesn't it?As far as other goings on at Swindon are concerned I think you'll find most Swindon fans are feeling happier and happier as the season approaches. The new squad looks to be a big improvement on the old one, even without Parkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dorset Red Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I don't remember that but I'll take your word for it.←I remember Lita's effort at the C.G.It was arguably the only time he managed to break free from Jerel Ifil and YES, it was a truly brilliant effort from point blank range. It was matched by a brilliant save from Evans. Probably the highlight of the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dorset Red Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 li'l sharpy says SWINDON ARE A LOW RATED TEAM , even we finished above you and with an unprofesionnal manager[no offense Tins] ←YUP! Over the last ten games of last season, we WERE crap! Lost any chance of a play-off place owing to players who lacked passion, desire and commitment.Who were the offending players?Brian Howard - now gone to BarnsleyDavid Duke - probably joining DarlingtonSammy Igoe - gone to MillwallMatt Hewlett - gone to TorquayGrant Smith - joined you lotMatty Heywood - joined you lotRory Fallon - still with us but now having serious competition for a place.Every one of those departing players has been replaced by a new signing with greater talent and/or greater experience.e.g. Cureton, Thorpe, Whalley, Smith, Shakes, etc, etc...All things considered I don't think anyone who actually knew what they were talking about could really claim we have been losers this summer.

Rich-TWSC- Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Oh dear I think our squad this coming season is better and stronger than it was at the beginning of last season.Parkin's departure is the major factor here and ALL the other players we've lost have been replaced pretty well, if not better, by Andy King... We won't know how much we'll miss Parkin & Co until the season is under way (same applies to you in regards to any player you've lost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Groundwell Cider Red Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 god more garbage being spouted from swindle AGAIN! whalley is over the hill as is thorpe and cureton.. the reason is that none of the players get on with king so thats why they left, he ouldnt even manage his own finances let alone a football team and i use that term 'football team' very loosely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchred Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I'll go against the grain here and say I think witrecent signings they have a strongerh their team than last year.It appears that their manager (Whatever you think of him) has contacts throughout the game and puts thenm to good use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest things just got better Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 As the closed season has gone on town have more to look forward to than city cant wait to see the slagging off donkey haywood gets on this site when the season starts picture the scene "the ball comes over from the corner flag into the city box and the smallest player on the park heads it in at the back post " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dorset Red Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 .. the reason is that none of the players get on with king so thats why they left, ←Untrue. Heywood and Andy King are still big golfing buddies. Hardly sounds the relationship of two people who don't get on!Heywood had been a Swindon a long time and felt he needed a change. Good luck to him.As for Grunt Sniff. He had a few good games and now he thinks he's Pele! Don't get me wrong, he has a sweet left foot but there isn't much else in his locker! And whatever you do, don't let him take any penalties. He couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo from the penalty spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STFCDude Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think letting Heywood go to Shitty is the best bit of business done by Andy King! Now, when we go down to the gate, we'll beat them by more than the 2-1 we managed last season! Well done Heywood, you've gone to Shitty to give us a better chance of promotion! I hold my hat off to you sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ben Wah Balls Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 god more garbage being spouted from swindle AGAIN! whalley is over the hill as is thorpe and cureton.. the reason is that none of the players get on with king so thats why they left, he ouldnt even manage his own finances let alone a football team and i use that term 'football team' very loosely ←That's just nonsense. Whalley is 31 and a superb player who has played a part in five promotions before and he's done extremely well in the championship and played in the premiership. Given a choice between him and Grant Smith I would take Whalley every time, he'd get in your side no trouble. Cureton is only 29 so again over the hill is ridiculous.As for "none of the players getting on with King", you are well wide of the mark. Parkin got on very well with King and thats why he stayed so long, Heywood likewise has King to thank for rescuing his career. Hewlett, Robinson and Howard weren't even offered contracts.And then you claim King couldn't even manage his own finances....we've made a profit from the players he's brought and sold and he's bought in 20-25+ goal a season strikers like Mooney and Parkin for a combined total of 50k and on one of the smallest wage budgets in the league. On a tight budget you will struggle to find any better managers than King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReadingsLeroyLita Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Good luck next season with Heywood.....hopefully he'll play as bad for you as he was for us!←one of my friends is a son of one of the coaches at ipswich and they paid out £750,000 for parkin with a clause included into this aswell.cureton will be a fantastic for swindon , thorpe is good but nothing on what he use to be and he and curo are to similar.wish swindon would actually do well, boring not having any local derbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
