It basically tells us what we already know. Swindon are a bunch of shysters and are about to get hit by yet another EFL sanction for financial irregularities. AGAIN.

I'm hoping for a 30 point penalty, or relegation to the National League, or maybe just close them down.
 
It’s just expected to be a fine. Their previous owner called in money apparently, so the owner - who doesn’t have the deepest of pockets - had to sell of shares to raise the money.

Claims he’s in the process of buying them back, so probably just a suspended points penalty.

Can sometimes be a warning sign though.

If you don’t have deep pockets and you live on the other side of the world why would you buy a fourth division football club based in an obscure town? Something about Clem Fandango doesn’t add up to me.

I can't wait for it all to go tits up. It's going to be a beautiful thing to watch.

When we were seriously in the crap, they were vicious with their commemts of hate and vitriol. If they were to suffer a massive points deduction and were relegated, my thoughts would be, you reap what you sow.

Id probably go and watch that ( home and away)


Sw*nd*n have a history of not operating within the rules if memory serves.... I do hope the FA / EFL take that into consideration when deliberating on their latest round of cheating

I was trying to look at it from an outsiders point of view, I once binned a woman off after a couple of dates because she wanted me to take her shopping in that knock off Bicester Village they have.

Maybe Clem Fandango bought them without actually visiting, finally made the trip and is basically f**k that, I want out?

Reactions: MJB
I’m gutted for them, I truly am….

Oh no wait, we are talking about Swindon not Southend. f**k them and I hope they rot for a good few years in non league.

What a great start to the season, we are flying high, Reading are a shambles of a club and Swindon yet again are a shambles of a club.
This could be a very very good year as a yellow!
 
I hate Swindon as much as the next Oxford fan but like the Reading thread, gloating about stuff like this doesn't sit right. All clubs like ours are never too far from disaster and it could be us (again) one day. For those who say, look at the grief they gave us etc, I would say what a few spotty kids on a internet forum somewhere? Most of their fans like ours wouldn't. Plus two wrongs don't make a right. Do I love it when they lose? Well yes. Do I love it when we beat them more than beating any other team? Well yes. Would I love them going out of business due to poor financial management? No, I don't think I would.

I could not disagree more with this attitude!

When we were relegated to the Conference among all of the p**s taking from them, there was a video online of a whole pub full of Swindon fans celebrating us going out of the League. They were singing, cheering, and even popping bottles of Champagne(OK it's Swindon, so it was probably Cava or Lambrusco). These were not "a few spotty kids" they were adults, male and female, gloating at our demise.

I hate them, and I wish them nothing but ill will, and I for one will celebrate every loss of theirs, every relegation, every financial scandal, and if they went out of business I would not shed a single tear for them.

You reap what you sow. f**k em.

I would probably gloat if they got relegated to non league too for footballing reasons, just not them going out of business. I was referring to gloating at our previous financial issues. I guess that's where you me and differ then. I would never gloat at the prospect of people losing their jobs, not just footballers but catering staff, office staff on low wages etc who may have families to support.

They shouldn't work for Swindon Town then. There are other jobs. Do you really think their fans would sympathise over us, if we were in that position.

I'm 67. I've hated them for over 60 of those years, and I won't be changing now. In all of that time they have done absolutely NOTHING to change my viewpoint.

A £2 3 litre bottle of White lightning cider is far more likely than anything posh enough to come in an actual glass bottle as the average Swindon residents celebration drink of choice.

What makes it even worse, didn't they themselves get relegated on the same day? You'd have thought they would have been more concerned by that. Weird, weird lot.
 
I would love it if those fuckers went out of business I don't give a s**t about the people who work there or the fans that support them

They celebrated when we got relegated to the national League they never gave a s**t about the people who worked for Oufc or the fans so why should we about them f**k em
