12 years on and fuck all had changed.
Also, who would have thought a few months back that McCrory would come out of this as seen by many as the 'good' guy.

As far as I can ascertain Lee Power over the past 10 years has had an extremely predictable capacity for creating companies that quickly go into liquidation. And he resigns as a director beforehand. Cre8 UK and Cre8 Publishing were both liquidated owing large sums to Arsenal, Celtic and Tottenham fcs as well as some big UK printers. How these ended up I have no idea - but I guess those owed money got little in return. It seems impossible to find out the end result of liquidations - so much for financial transparency. Anyway I wonder what the board of Tottenham think of Mr Power?  ? Power has a link with an offshore outfit called Werdale Assets but again it is so difficult to find out details. Some of his wealth (if he has real stuff) will lie in that company - and he certainly made a handsome deal if they never paid their debtors. I am just concerned that he is very much a mover of money in many directions not all good, and that our club is now firmly in his grasp - very worrying times still - I'm afraid chaps He may have saved us from the embargo but will he save us from Administration? that for me is the question |

Adam Woodyatt as Steven Moses Murral. And featuring Fredi as herself. There would probably be lots of different directors, each involved for a short time before pulling out or given a 'stevie murral'

If it was 'most' then I would understand your concern. |

I think at some point there should be a love scene in the Arkells toilets between Fredi and STFC fan #4.
Zooey Deschanel should play Fredi and I will play STFC fan #4. It should be an angry love scene to show the anger and passion that is felt about the club.
The twist at the end of the film should be Katy Perry is Fredi’s twin and STFC fan #4 has to have a threesome with them both, this could show the three way struggle for control between Jed, Power and the fans.

Well that seems to have been 'resolved' quicker than I imagined this week, and I use the term 'resolved' loosely. I was expecting this to drag on for weeks, especially when Jed said he was taking legal advice before postponing the board meeting Saturday - why the change of heart, or is this statement premature and will be taken down later on today? The uncertainty feeling I have still remains, would be nice if Power came out and spoke - so many questions need answering, which I'm not sure we'll get.
Oh to be a Swindon fan!
