luluthetiger Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Update here http://www.swindonad...elor_loan_deal/ Or, to cut it short: "We bought Nick Morris with money we don't have. A sort of pyramid scheme. When you turn up for the first meeting, just tell the girl at the turnstiles you will pay her, once your wages come in. After you've got a job. Maybe". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you read a different article to what I linked to because the one I read says they budgeted for one Transfer. They expected it to be a transfer for Morris and a loan for Batchelor - and why wouldn't that be reasonable? It's called the Peterborough Effect!

What happened to old ways of a deal is a deal...it's not Glasgows fault,if they did a deal then they should be paid,regardless of the other situation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPanther Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 they budgeted for one Transfer. They expected it to be a transfer for Morris and a loan for Batchelor So why not pay Glasgow if the budget is there, thats the honourable thing to do. Sounds like Arthur Daley is in charge at Swindon .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, when the shoe was on the other foot a few years back and Swindon wouldn't accept a loan deal, Peterborough were made to buy Batch, they did.

Pinny Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 And to think Swindon have claimed to be hard done by this close season! Just as bad as Peterborough. It is certainly not the first time weve heard about financial problems at Swindon regarding paying for things is it?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Because, when the shoe was on the other foot a few years back and Swindon wouldn't accept a loan deal, Peterborough were made to buy Batch, they did. How any times?? As previously stated numerous times, Swindon wanted to use him that year and this year Peterborough didnt so there is no comparison to make! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Update here http://www.swindonad...elor_loan_deal/ Makes it pretty clear. Cannot believe some posters are claiming dodgy dealings and Swindon not playing things right by announcing Morris as an asset. Think they have been perfectly clear. It is only one promotion insisting on Swindon spending money they don't have. They put buying Morris as priority and no cash for anyone else, what is wrong with that? So how many clubs have splashed more cash this close season to validate such a ridiculous request? We are in a recession, it is time some clubs got real. Hopefully Batch will go on loan after March 1st to the Robins, if not then his parent club will be stopping him earning a living. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Makes it pretty clear. Cannot believe some posters are claiming dodgy dealings and Swindon not playing things right by announcing Morris as an asset. But he's not an asset of Swindon, they have not paid for him. Surely you announce a purchase when you have done the deal. It's unprofessional and so typical of certain elements in british speedway.

noggin Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 If Batch is loaned that's 3 loans payments going to Boro ( with them retaining their assets), a fair wedge I'd thought of the new sponsor money + the purchase of Morris, yet they would rather try and Bankrupt a fellow promotion by insisting on a sale, and you can't bang on about the sale of Batch to Boro as that's been explained and yet still questioned by certain dullards on here, no wonder Speedway is a laughing stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Patch had/has every intention of paying for him but then Peterborough put a spanner in the works and started trying to dictate - roll on March 1st to see if Harkess keeps HIS word 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unprofessional and so typical of certain elements in british speedway. Didn't Belle Vue announce schlein as an asset last season? Didn't Coventry say they had purchased Larsen? Intention is one thing following through is another. Think the press release is quite clear - If Batchelor had been allowed on loan (considering his parent club do not have an intent to use) then the Morris deal would have been done and dealt with now. Wolves have released an intent to sign Wells on a full contract, they haven't yet (as far as i know). Isn't it a very similar situation? Morris i am convinced will be a Swindon asset before the start of the season - so long as a parent club doesn't stop its own asset from earning a living and forcing Swindon`s hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His UK career was sorted months ago, alot of us saw the tweet. More unprofessional behaviour. I dont think Swindon would buy Batch even if they had the money, he's a hot potato.
