Bit like the end of the Cold War though. Who are we going to despise if they go into oblivion? Not quite the same level with Reading or Luton.

These people exist? Probably the same people that wear a face mask whilst in the car on their own...All the ex Us who defected to Reading
Love to see it!blimey!
League One club 'on the brink of collapse' with huge concerns for March - Fan Banter
It’s tough times for everyone right now, however one particular League One club are ‘on the brink of collapse’ with huge concerns for March. Swindon Town’s future is looking bleaker as the days go on with a revelation being made according to its owner. The Robins chairman Lee Power revealed how...fanbanter.co.uk
From what I can gather from the court hearing, no one wants the club. One of the major shareholders wants his stake back and Gareth Barry wants nothing to do with it either. Power isn’t able to sell the club within the next 12 months due to the date of the trial being sometime early next year. That means another 12 months of selling their only assets (players) to stay afloat and they can’t even do that again, until the summer transfer window opens. Power doesn’t have enough of his own money to cover the costs..Imagine if they couldn’t fulfil their fixtures this season. A certain result would be expunged from the record .
In all seriousness though, I always want to see Swindon do badly. I want to see them experience rubbish players, lots of losses, angry fans, malevolent owners and humiliating relegations. Never do I want to them go to the wall. A constant tale of misery and misfortune and repeated defeats to Oxford is good enough for me. They’re my favourite rival to have. Any of the other pretenders are simply local derbies, the rivalry with Swindon is the rivalry.
I wonder whether this is Lee Power mind games in order to finally get rid of the club to one of the possible owners (whoever they may be) by crying that he has no money anymore.
Regardless of who the club is, you never want to see another football club going bust. The football pyramid in England is the best in the world, but the more that is chipped away at with clubs going insolvent the weaker it becomes.Swindon Town 'on the brink' as sale of star keeps club alive 'until end of February'

I would be VERY surprised if they didn’t enter administration by March at the absolute latest!
That’s at LEAST another 12 months away and nothing can be done in terms of sale, until the court trails have concluded. I don’t necessarily want a football club to go under but objectively speaking, from the outside in, this is dire.I think there are 1 or 2 interested but not at what was being asked or they are waiting for share ownership situation to be sorted.

Are they able to do that, while they are going through court proceedings?Undoubtedly dire. Both parties in the case (Power and Standing) could agree a sale to a 3rd party with proceeds going into an escrow account until the court case is decided.
