Q:Can the club let the fans know if Ed Brand is still contracted to Chelsea or is he a permanent Swindon town employee, if he is still contracted to Chelsea what are the terms of the deal? For example, how long will he be with STFC, can Chelsea recall him? A:Ed Brand is a permanent Swindon Town employee  Open and Transparent. |

I've always suspected he/we had an entente cordiale with Chelsea that allows him to go back. I based that on his contract being shorter than Morris contract, IIRC it was until the end of next season. But he probably was a permanent employee. Hope Chelsea take him back either way, poor sod has been messed around somewhat. |

No proof but thats the whispers. The fact hes still listed on the Chelsea website speaks volumes https://www.chelseafc.com/en/teams/profile/ed-brandThey no doubt have an army of admin staff, if he wasnt meant to be there he wouldnt be. |

This is completely speculative and just a theory. Last summer - Clem was happy with how things were progressing and got a bit naive/complacent thinking running a football club might be easier than he thought (the football side). He let Zav Austin run things, but Zav has ulterior motives and wants to be in it to make money. There seems to be a wheel of connections between Sandro, Zav, Chris Kiely, Adam Hart and the McFarlane lot. Clem has since realised that they aren't in it for the right reasons and is back tightening his reign again, the majority of the issues are "out or outgoing" and the football side is being resolved once more... just a theory as I say but it would make sense

Key really is who replaces him, there’s no one at the club currently who you’d trust or say has the experience to recruit a new manager. I know people are saying Ralph’s replacement will be internal but I can’t see anyone at the club currently being remotely up to recruiting a new 1st team manager. Surely Clem’s going to have to do this himself hopefully with a bit of outside help from a few experienced heads. |

Good riddance to those recently departed Clem has acted decisively: Poor recruitment in January, sacked the recruiter Poor performances/results since January, sacked the manager Hopefully the appropriate experienced replacements are already waiting in the wings and upon appointing them, Clem needs to issue a statement, saying essentially: he got it wrong, what lessons have been learnt and how he is now adjusting the model by recruiting experienced managerial heads to achieve our number one goal of promotion out of this league. That's the only way to build bridges with our frustrated, angry and understandably cynical fanbase. |

The biggest issue remains that there is nobody at the helm of the club/business with any sort of idea of what goes on in the football business. I'm OK with doing things differently, and certainly not just packing the place with old fuddy duddies that employ all their mates, but we really need at least one person who can cu through the shit and employ the right people in the right roles.

Save the money on a DoF.
Shift Angus to CFO.
Hire a proper football CEO.
Then employ a manager. Not a 'first team coach.'

Throw a wet sponge at Sandro clad in stocks in the car park pre game.
£10 per throw.
There’s your transfer kitty for next season.
Nahh, next seasons transfer kitty is already accounted for by not staying in a hotel at Crewe  |
