Wes Thomas: Lee Power hails new Swindon Town signing
Power revealed the club beat off stiff opposition to sign Thomas and had also stretched themselves financially to complete the deal.
"We've pushed the boat out to get him," he said. "It's massive for us, we've been trying all summer to get him. He had a couple of Championship clubs that came in and three in League One. We've taken him on loan, there was no fee but we've definitely broken our wage structure."

Don't Swindon have history of this too? [Post edited 3 Sep 2015 14:02]

Hope the gamble fails, and that they have overstretched themselves. If they end up in financial they will have deserved it. |  |

I just don't understand why they sound so proud about it. Like it's a great thing they've done.
"Ha! We've spent money that hasn't been budgeted for. We've basically told all the players on our existing wage structure that 'your not worth what this guy is, we've smashed it for him'. Other clubs further up the league had a look and decided not to bother, we did exactly what his agent said. " |  | | |

This must be the transfer Keith was alluding to in his interview yesterday when he described it as cheating. |  |

Certain teams have to demonstrate to their supporters that they are a big club by spending big, irrespective of whether they can afford to do so. There'll be many clubs who'll finish way down below us at the end of the season who will be proud rather than ashamed that they have spent more money than we have. |  | | |

I thought he said a Premier League player who is on £15,000 a week.
I suspect Armstrong from Newcastle who is on loan at Coventry or maybe Crowley from Arsenal, who is on loan at Barnsley. |  | | |

I'd rather he saw us having him as manager as cheating. |  |
