Red Cloud Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 they're not doomed - just like Bardiff they've fiddled their way out of administration for years - can you remember a time when they weren't on the brink? because I can't!

samo Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 They got any half-decent players we could get cut price? Didn't they have some teenage striker last year (long second name) who was attracting higher level interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go into admin a third time.It was take over or bust.They are seriously close to going into liquidation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bringbacktherobin Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Why would we want roberts back?Also it ahs been said that if one club actually properly bust then another 30 clubs could follow suit, it could be the end of football as we know it.

merrickstash Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Alway had a soft spot for Roberts - even when he was pissed he was a try-er. Not the most elegant forward, though. He made Paulo Wanchope look like Fred Astaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Does anyone really care about Swindon?I don't! Don't start with any caring about football rubbish. I love football, but Swindon are mess, they've made it themselves, they've had enough chances to sort it and haven't.Ta ta!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbacktherobin Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 As much as people don't like swindon, if they go bust, then another club, then another club, then another club etc etc ew could end up with no teams to play bar ones with sugar daddys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 I can not phathom how the current state of Football can sustain it's lifestyle indefinately. The pressure on each Club to succeed and the money involved is quite rediculous..... we'll see like, but the bubble's going to have to burst sooner or later and when it does things could get very messy.Swindle have had this coming, maybe it's the wake up call the game needs.Time for a big re-think from the authoreties me thinks.

They all managed to do it for the first hundred years of football, before they all tried to make a quick buck and thinking that clubs can be a business to make money out of, they're not!They're Trusts ran by directors for the benefit of the fans!!!!

Having a "world league" played in England in it's self is not the problem - the problem is that it is in a pyramid where all clubs in England can aspire to get in the "world league". The authorities need to sort it out - I think this can fall in to two categories - firstly the FA and what they can do about it - and the answer I'm afraid in the capitalist free market country is that they wont do anything to stop clubs going into administration or liquidation - they just havent got the clout or the balls to do it. The other authority that will definitely do something about it is the Inland Revene - they are owed a shed load of money and each time a club goes into administration they hate it - they will make a club pay for it one day and make them go into liquidation and then it will me a domino effect with clubs or a huge wake up call to the leagues to stop the possibility of all these clubs going under - expect wage capping interms of players can only be paid upto 75% of turnover etc... (not the voluntary one we have got now but an enforsed one).Maybe this is the year that the Inland Revenue gets tough on football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyderman Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 The FA made its mistake in 1992 when they let the rich clubs walk all over them and break from the football league to form the Premiership. Obviously its the ordinary fan who has to face the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Coast Red Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 This time I think clubs will go bust , for those of you who watch the news you will know we are economically in what is called a credit crunch as the worlds banks have ****ed up big time , so that in turn will mean the banks will be looking to cut back lending to potential bad debtors , this position is going to last for some time , why do you think Coventry said to their potential buyer you have one month or we go in to administration ? They couldn't pay wages on time this month , clearly their bankers have said its one more month and thats it.Swindon might be the first but they won't be the last.As to others try Cardiff , Norwich , Southampton .........??????????

22A Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Swindle have had this coming, maybe it's the wake up call the game needs.That's what some people said about Bristol City 25 years ago.A few years ago Sheppard & Hall at Newcastle said it was essential to qualify for Europe simply to pay the following season's wages. Club Directors are (usually) successful businessmen, but stop acting shrewdly when at their local club.In the mid 80s following a League Championship, Liverpool admitted they had paid more £££ in wages than they got through the gate!
