For his own nefarious wishes, not from the bottom of his heart. He has an MO that didn't pan out here. Good riddance.

Wasn’t that the plan? Run up as much debt so we would have no option but to sell the ground and build houses to make the money back to then pay off the “super arena stadium”. Not sure what he was smoking but thankfully he realised everyone saw past it before the debts mounted even higher…

CO was no doubt using his cash on a “speculate to accumulate” basis, £5m spent is nothing if you get £10m, £15m back. We know he has no interest in football and this was purely a business venture!

If he and his board and GJ had really cared, they’d have engaged with the fans, the town to a greater extent and tried to more people interested, which would or at least could have reduced the losses!

From now on, we have to show full support to the players, get behind them and be the extra man on the field!

COYY!

Had there been more enthusiasm behind the scenes we may have progressed a little further in the FA Cup, bowing out year after year in the very early stages costs you dearly!

Nailed it.

Next on the trail of destruction…the good people of Swindon
