Meet The Board 

The new owners of Swindon Town Football Club held their first official press conference today.

Jed McCrory along with Directors Gary Hooper, Steve Murrall and Callum Rice spoke to the press at the County Ground about their future plans and Championship ambitions.

 

Jed McCrory reassured Town fans that he would "turn the club round and take it forward", adding that he was passionate about reaching promotion but that it would take one step at a time.

Callum Rice went on to explain that he would be "exploring new revenue streams" for the club, and Gary Hooper said he welcomed the challenge of moving the club forward.

However, Jed McCrory made it clear that at the present time they have not spoken to anyone about the club's managerial position, but that they also can't rule out the return of Paolo Di Canio.
