No News On "Big Changes"


Despite club chairman Andy Lonsdale saying during a BBC Hereford & Worcester interview that there would be "big changes" last week, fans remain none the wiser about the investment and ownership of the club.

The comments on September 1st promised a changed role for Lonsdale, new investment from Alpha Choice owner Alan McCarthy and a second unnamed party, and new Directors to be appointed however a statement a week later avoided talk of investment or new roles, and confirmed that no new Directors had been appointed.

The only confirmed movement at Edgar Street has been on the playing side. Four players have debuted for the club in the last couple of games, while four more have departed, and another is to arrive in the form of Harry Agombar. Vital Swindon has this to say on the midfielder:

Tommy Agombar was part of a consortium with Jed McCrory and Steve Murrell who brought in son Harry when he was involved at the club last season. Agombar Jr. has yet to feature for Town and is unlikely to ever do so.

The four departures are understood to be the start of a squad overhaul after a disastrous start to the season. Three of the players have joined Westfields, two divisions below in the pyramid, while captain Luis Morrison-Derbyshire left by mutual consent after an apparent disagreement with manager Jon Taylor.

Taylor is understood to be seeking new training facilities for the club after United In The Community took over the lease on Victoria Park in addition to their tenancy at Belmont Abbey.

Finances still remain a concern at the club with promises, but no confirmation, that the current players would be paid this week. The £3,000 on offer for tomorrow's FA Cup tie winners would appear to be sorely needed as investment into the club remains up in the air.
