Di Canio said the other day that the bid rejected last Jan was just under £1m not £500k

but with Pugh and Fraser, do we need him??? Fraser may be used sparingly I suppose and 600k is a bit of a steal :).. Mmmmm interesting...

If the price was right we might sell I suppose - but don't think £500K is enough - unless that was the first installment and the next £500 K + to follow within 31 days.

All a bit up in the air at the moment with the 'takeover' business in process.

Anyway Mike Oxbig hope you aint spent all that Winter Fuel allowance of yours down there in Cocoon Land - there's another cold snap on the way probably
Keep those winter woolies on ol' codger.

If true, i can only guess the new owners of Swindon have looked at the books and want to reduce the wage bill. I suspect Ritchie is one of your top earners, but realisticly it would not make good business sense to sell to a rival, particulary at this crucial stage of the season. I believe this is just mischief making from the local papers. Not sure he would fit in here anyway. UTCIAD.

But surely the local Swindle rag would get a denial from their club?? Perrett now saying it could be a done deal today or in the morning... UTCIAD

Wilkie I just used Microsoft Word for my post and I copied and pasted even so ‘is’ came out as ia I went back to check and I had it correctly as ‘is’. I have given up typing directly on the website as it reminds me of the first ‘teleprinter’ do you remember when the BBC used it for the scores coming in. It used to stop and start!!!!

why would we wwant Tubbs he's a L2 player.

Ritchie wont go for 600k its an insult at that price, he also lokes playing for Di Canio.

Needs to be near to 2m as lets face it you paid 800k for Tubbs who is no where near the quality of Ritchie.
Now he have new investors and they have stated they dont want him to go i would be surprised if he did.
were a bigger club and with Di Canio and new investors who want hampionship football it would be stupid to let him go to you.

Its been a busy day at County Ground and this is just a distraction. If Howe was megga serious about securing Ritchies services he would have had things well wrapped up by now. If he has the money made available to him then why not bid in plenty of time instead of waiting until the last minute. With other clubs from the CCC lining up for Ritchie why would he go to another L1 club instead of an established Championship side. Neither Swindon or Bournemouth have a written guarantee of promotion, but the deciding factor is, he likes, no loves playing for the manager he has now, and that is the difference. Neil Perrett is just stirring the mire, yet another cheap shot journo working for yet another provincial rag.

I can't see where he would fit in? Pugh or Fraser would have to warm the bench and I can't see that happening. Pugh has been superb and accounts from the North say Fraser was in good form. I could be wrong, I have been before! I didn't think Eddie would come back. Sometimes it's great to be wrong!!! I am sure there is a plan if it is true. Can't see the money being made available otherwise.

I would imagine you are nearing the 65% barrier soon if not now, so off loading is likely.

Yes we know that -and that's when the problems start - printing or pumping more money in only makes it a disaster waiting to happen .... look around the leagues and open those eyes - hence why the FL are going to clamp down on this.

You are on a 'high' for obvious reasons but suggest it is - keep your feet on the floor time.

Probably sound advice, but you cant blame us for "giving it some" given the crap we have taken in the past from some Swindle fans.
Honestly, i hope it works out for you lot today and in the future, i cant say fairer than that.

I think you only have to look back at the stick Swindle fans have dished out to understand why the same sort of stick is being dealt back. If you lot hadn't dished it out in the first place you'd not be getting it back now. So in future you lot might be a little careful who you slag off!!! That said, hope you guys get better news today and join us in the Championship HOPEFULLY, because nothing in football is certain... UTCIAD

Sick to death of all the stick they dished out, so I thought it was time to give a bit back, especially as they simply wouldn't believe that we'd signed Ritchie, it as priceless LOL... Bought my Sheff Utd and Coventry tickets today, bring on the Pompey game, games can't come around fast enough now... UTCIAD

Your crowds need to increase otherwise as i said before your Russian Mafia benefactor could get fed up as our owner did and that is the only reason you got Ritchie as he didnt want to put more money into the club.

Yes your all **** a hoop at the moment but as they say what goes around comes around!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beware!!!!!!!!!!!

You are so informed aren't you LeGob, our crowds need to increase.????. All home areas been sold out for last 5 home games and almost definately the next 3 as well. And guess what, our highest gate was against Crewe and not the mighty Swindle. We all have difficult games to come, there are no easy games in this league and most cherries fans are very level headed about where we have come from, where we currently are & where we want to get to, so we will take 1 game at a time and see where it takes us. Thanks for careing though.!!!!!!.

ENVY IS SUCH AN AWFUL THING.....

Every club will want to beat you lot now, and we will sneak in 2nd place.

B,Muff, always run from Swindon.
