Why? There’s nothing there that says anything different to the other comments on the subject.

Doesn't the injunction also prevent him putting the club into admin, or did I imagine that?
No, you didn't imagine it. His stated aim is to sell the club and has been for months. He also claims he cannot afford to keep the club running and has said he'd need to put the club into admin IF he can't sell the club. Admin is only mentioned because Power claims he can't keep the club running himself and would have no choice if he's not allowed to sell. This is why Clem/Standing were told by the court to pay running costs - they are stopping the sale (and admin) going through with their injunction. Admin is not the intention as far as I can tell. The intention is to sell to able.

Looking at the new manager musings yesterday, it occurred to me that Robbie Fowler might be talked about, purely because he has been in Australia a bit. I dismissed this very quickly...

It's also been 'confirmed' by BBC Wilts. They are usually spot on.

Indeed, not easily dismissed this one.

Agreed, BBC Wilts are normally correct in what they report

I was too embarrassed to suggest it yesterday. I could have been the king of those who claim to be ITK.

Robbie Fowler was really poor at Brisbane Roar There would be some excellent Australian coaches that could and would be far better. But why look past Wellens if its correct that Power wanted the comp money and got him out !!! No brainer get him back with Clem Stay well and COYMRs

I agree I wouldn't choose Fowler but not really sure he could be classed as poor there, he had a 45% win ratio and a loss ratio of 33%, a higher ratio that Wellens had at Swindon who has a win ratio of 42% and a loss ratio of 37%.

If you were Robbie Fowler who is currently trying to get himself a club to manage in England to get himself onto the UK Management ladder, and is currently stuck in India - why wouldn't you jump at the chance of join the Swindon Town basket case?
The adver piece states that he wants to prove himself in the English game as a stepping stone
"It is thought he now wants to follow in the footsteps of former teammate Steven Gerrard and earn his stripes as a coach further down the pyramid before stepping into a high-profile job in the future."
He gets himself a club with a pretty much blank slate (albeit limited finances) Takeover happens and he is in the frame for the job or gets paid off Takeover doesn't happen and as Sheridan proved, the liklehood of him getting sacked quickly is unlikely He gets out of the United States of Covid Moves closer to home
Sounds like a win-win given his current scenario - getting one of the 92 jobs available is a bigger pull than some would think, especially if you don't need the money.

I questioned this as well as David Squires also mentioned that he was really poor at Brisbane Roar, but I thought statistically he was doing pretty well?

If he takes the job and does well at a struggling div 4 team on a downwards trajectory, he will have proved his credentials.

How does that support the claim he was 'really poor'?

Fuc# off Power and move over
