This knobhead journalist....
If he had a story with sources he'd run the story. That's how it works. He wouldn't spend his time trolling on Twitter.
Unless it's to do with open court proceedings of course, in which case he shouldn't be saying anything.
Either way, his word holds as much credibility as anyone else jumping to conclusions and spreading shite. I'll choose to wait for a source I trust, or an official source, before I think we're done for.
Wise words and well said.

I suspect that given a host of clubs potentially going under the EFL / FA are going to be very busy anyway. Ill start worrying about all this when there is a potential for resumption of football. All the rest is speculation and ITK pretence that anyone knows any facts.

The problem is we don't know the "facts" A lot of this stuff like about Standing/Barry etc has leaked out, and hence become unofficial knowledge. But things like the Ritchie sell on, seems to have passed under everybody's radar.

Trousering that was the act of a cunt, not a criminal.
But how are fans supposed to know anything about THEIR club when there is a total, complete lack of transparency.
It’s got to stop. Not just here - Christ knows, we aren’t the only ones - but generally there must be a way of filtering out these chancers. Annual, independent audit?

If 'their club' means the club they elected to support, why do we assume there is any entitlement to information?

Chairman are happy to take the fans money each week so asking for transparency to any allegations once it's in the press is the least they can as without the fans money there is no club

Of course, if you step back, it's apparent that we purchase goods and services from all manner of businesses without knowing how they operate.

I did not 'elect' to be a Swindon fan. It just happened.
If I could choose, I would not have chosen Swindon.

With a bit of luck Power will be head hunted by FIFA to head up the World Cup 2030 bidding process.
That will open the door for the next shyster to fill the better the devil we know role.
Just tired of the club’s name being dragged through the mud. Again.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

I will just tell the story of the Plymuff that I took up the wrong 'un on Mutley Plain.
Ooh, I bet he was sore the next morning!

Very fucking much this. I have actually encouraged both my sons to not support Swindon as I don't wish for them to suffer as I have, although both look out for Town results and have both been to a handful of Swindon games neither are Swindon supporters.

He may be right, he may not be, but its dragging the clubs name further through the dirt either way.
As I wrote earlier, I think we all agree with that 100%.

I suspect that there could be some form of philosophical debate around that. That said, it must be common ground that you elect to continue being a supporter.

Welcome back. Regards the Facts, there are NO Facts, not for that bit that could put us in trouble. Two mates having a chat isn't worth the paper it wasn't written down on. They all agree it was informal. I'd put good money on the FA having a word and pointing out any issues with ownership before they all agree to taking the best course of action to save their own skin (which in this case is likely agreeing Power owns those shares and Standing gets a wedge of cash for loaning the club money). The bigger issue, if Covid-19 hadn't reared it's head, was probably Power seemingly being out of cash/in trouble somewhere to do with tax liabilities. In that event, this becomes much more interesting for us as fans to see how the ownership battle plays out. Reckon Covid gave Power some breathing space on the operating costs.
