I hope those laughing at the possibility of Swindon going under take note as I do those that want us to spend big. I feel we are not that many steps away from similar issues if we are not careful.
I think that goes for most professional football clubs these days. We are very lucky that our owners will invest but not stupid money which puts us in real danger of going bust. If that means flirting with league 1 promotion every year and the odd cup run, occasionally day out at Wembley for the trophy final while watching up and coming players wear the yellow shirt then that’s fine by me.
Look at the players that have left us:
Ledson & Rothwell established championship players
Baldock & Lunstrum have done well in the premier league
Roofe is tearing up the Scottish premier league and europa league
Tyler Roberts is doing well as a squad player in the premier league
Curtis Nelson & O’Dowda are established championship players and Nelson could be in the premier league next season.
Marvin Johnson finally settled in the championship.
Baptiste & Fosu could both be premier league players next season with Fosu doing especially well.
Dunkley is a well established CB in the championship.
QPR fans are raving about Dickie.
All those players have played for us in the last 5 years, that’s some going for a club our size!
