SWINDON TOWN chairman Andrew Fitton rates the club’s chances

of landing Bristol City wideman Kevin Betsy before the end of

the week as ‘better than evens’.

Swindon are understood to have agreed personal terms with

Betsy, and are  waiting to see whether City will agree to

compensate the player for accepting a lower-wage contract at

the County Ground.   

Betsy was a guest of the club at the County Ground for

Monday night’s friendly with Plymouth, and Fitton rates the

chances of the  deal being completed before Town open

their league campaign agaisnt Tranmere on Saturday as 

‘60/40’.

He said “Things are progressing and I am more confident that it

will get done than I was the other day.

“I have had a conversation with the Bristol City chief

executive (Colin Sexstone) and we both know where the other is

coming from.

“He is away in America at the moment, which is slightly holding

things up, but I think there is a better than evens chance it

will get done before Saturday.” 

Betsy  has a year left to run on his City contract but

Fitton added: “I think there is a willingness on all sides to

do a deal.”
