It would be good to hear from Power, what his plans are etc.

^ yep, and at the same time it would be good if Jed shut the fuck up. I cant be the only one who finds his constant buddy patter cringeworthy

Agreed.  Now that he has been confirmed as owner, it's time to come out of the shadows.  He'll have a fairly short window of opportunity to do so (or to appoint a Chief Exec to speak for him) before folk become suspicious.

Well.....Now wait for Murrell to sue the club for unfair / constructive dismissal   

Just hope Power is in it for the long term

Though I doubt it

Absolutely, this was one of the main faults of Jed & Co at the start, took them too long to formally (not twitter) address the fans.

Cant say Power fills me with huge confidence but glad this little ownership period of uncertainty is over.

Chancer after chancer wanting to play at running a football club. It fucking stinks and always has done

Why oh why does all this crap seem to happen at Swindon

As stated previously....voodoo / black magic or a curse from a fucked up Druid

You have to be employed by a company for at least 12 months before you can claim unfair dismissal, may be even 24 months now.

Hope this period is now behind us and we can concentrate on the football.

I feel the same tbh

[TheMajorSTFC]

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!

[kerry red]

This has probably been the way of things for decades.

It's just now, with the advent of t'internet, that these things get unravelled.

We aren't the only club to have a succession of dodgy owners - it's almost par for the course re football clubs

Well said.

I would say it probably has something to do with the gas bill analogy I mentioned. If he was not confirmed owner why bung in 1.2 million that might never come back.

Sorry, I meant why bother putting "the facts" straight that the 1.2 was short term. It doesn't really matter now does it, he has a controlling interest.

Or put another way, what were the issue(s) in the first place. It can't have been over whether £1.2M was a short term loan that was claimed to be an investment? Unless publicly acknowledging Power got his money back relieves Jed of some disputed claimed financial burden.

So why has Jed relented?  Legal advice or had enough or kissed and made up?
