Same post as earlier.
Our budget size is absolutely fine. Power makes more than enough money available.
He just signed the wrong players.

We've averaged about the same for years prior to Powers arrival so not sure how you can pin that on him. In fact, they were worse at one point
As I've said it's been a long time since Swindon could be considered a football town, as it once was. We do however have a core of maybe about 6,000 loyalists, and the present danger is losing numbers of them other than by natural wastage, but due to the poor side being fielded, both players and management. There are those amongst us who recall sub 2,000 gates in the old Div 4, when a sense of atrophy pervaded the CG....we're not there yet, but nothing can be taken for granted. |

I think the only criticism re recruitment from Power is the piss poor striker signings.
I can understand the punt on Delfouneso but what on earth he saw in Norris to part with £150,000 I have no idea.
Kasim needs to be binned - although I presume he needs to be in the shop window for any possible suitors. Personally, I cant see us getting any money for him or Obika in January.
Someone posted previously about a seeming lack of organisation - especially at the back - and it is this aspect a new manager could, and should, improve.

Yes but the last couple of years has seen a decline. Also ST down by over a thousand this year alone. The football is boring, with a manager out of his depth and an unbalanced squad. Power is to blame on all counts |

It's fine saying Power is to blame but if you never put forward a better alternative then it's pointless saying anything at all really. |

What's your solution then, again you've avoided answering that? Know a potential buyer do you? |

Let's see if you can handle a hypothetical question... What if Power changes the manager/whatever and everything on the pitch comes good again, would you then be willing to give Power credit for that or only continue to post when things aren't great as you always have done. |

Assuming there's truth in that either use them as a feeder club or he's had enough, if the latter I can hardly wait to see the queue of billionaires looking to take us on! |

The manager although out of his depth ain't the real issue its Power. The club is going backwards, he has alienated much of the media and fan base. Fans don't spect to win every week but expect to compete, and his model and recruitment/sale policy is a shambles |
