Waterford are making announcements tomorrow, Power cant be talking to anyone as usually he seems to allow the radio to get in on the scoop of anything that is going on, although he hasn't done his 'Power hour' since they allowed on the caller that gave him stick so maybe they are not as best buddies anymore.
Let's hope things get put to bed and if he is involved then there are announcements this end of how he intends to run both clubs and divide his time. Although they could just as well announce they have been taken over by a consortium and not name any names.

I came past the Highworth training ground a few weeks ago and there was a white horse box with 'Power' on it parked up in the Car Park.

It has been mentioned before that maybe the Irish club would be a feeder club for us. Are we sure it isn't the other way around?

Money can come from unexpected sources, I know somebody who 30 years ago ran his own one-man band cleaning company and didn't have two pence to rub along with - in fact he got a reputation for rubber cheques!! Ten years ago an elderly relative died and he inherited 10 properties in North London - now they have his and hers range rovers, expanded the business greatly and managed to persuade the National Trust to sell him two tumble down farm cottages and 10 acres of land!! He now lives in a superb house set in 10 acres of land in deepest Somerset!! He'll tell you his biggest achievement was persuading the NT to sell those cottages and land, even if he did have to convert them as to their specifications!
You mean he polished cymbols and kazoos and the like...?

I've never managed to figure out how Power makes his money. Historically, you knew how chairmen/owners/directors earned their crust, even before the wonders of the internet age. So, Wilf Castle, loaves and lardies; Eric Lane, chops and chitterlings; Piggy Williams, farmer; Dick Mattick, teacher and porn star; Brian Hillier, Calne based unisex hairdressing salon; Willie Carson, jockey and annoying little shit; Bob Holt, old colonial fixer, handy v Mau Mau. SSW, married into money; Andrew Black, Betfair; Callum Rice, Bourne Supremacy and did the cruises. But Power

All this talk of former owners/directors reminds me....
Sir William Patey made it into Private Eye last week due to the activities of HSBC in Saudi Arabia, Patey has at on the board of HSBC Middle East since 2012 and prior to that was Ambassador to Riyadh who signed off a lucrative communications contract complete with commissions passing through HSBC, apparently its a small world?

But Power I could not remember the history of Wills cash, but recalled it had been discussed on here before. A quick search threw up this http://thetownend.com/index.php?topic=16261.0 Sadly of lot of the posts seem to reflect the thoughts of certain fans today.
