Apparently Bournemouth have bid for Matt Ritchie.

From the public information at least, that take over seems to have been done a reight unholy rush.  it might be ok - but sort of thing doesn't usually bode well....

Hours after they get taken over and the first thing they do is sell their best player and asset 

They rejected a bid of 1M from Bournemourth last season... He's now gone for half that. Even with interest from Palace.

Wonder if DiCanio will walk?

[Northants Nomad]

Rumours among Swindon fans I know is that this is the start of the exodus and yes, Di Canio is expected to leave.

Oh dear, what a shame....

Just seen on teletext that the new owners are supposed to be extinguishing the vast majority of the debt. It doesn't say how - but if they were to do that, then the decks would be cleared quite a lot. The big question then would be what the new owners do with the opex budget.
