I'm sure they haven't! This is STFC.
We’ll see. |

do we know if this will benefit STFC financially, or Clem, or is that basically the same thing (no it isn't).
if it's not self funding it seems like another thing that isn't a priority until we get our finances straight

We’re a company that sponsors work visa’s and co-incidentally has a football team

As well as naturally trying to find Oz football talent to play for STFC it's also a very good revenue opportunity for the club to the tune of 6 figures per season if they get it right.

Sure. In Oz (and US and some other countries), parents pay an annual fee for their kids/teens/young adults to be part of a well respected football (or other sporting academy) , so to be part of a STFC branded academy in Oz will be a big pull and attract great interest and paid signups.

Thanks. And that money makes its way to the club here in SN1? Not sure it is as much of a slam dunk as is being made out here. Ask Brad Friedel. As Tans says, other than Dave Mitchell’s immediate family, I’d be surprised if anyone has ever heard of us but hey, let’s see. |

Swindon Town are currently scrabbling about trying to make a quick buck whilst, allegedly, dodging the odd local vendor along the way, and we really think Morfuni is at home busily conjuring up a long-term plan to pump 6-figures on an annual basis into the club via Australian soccer schools?
Town making money from this sounds beyond fanciful. Surely most clubs in the EFL who could afford it would be in Australia if it was that easy? Ex-pros egging a local-businessman on to pump money into grassroots Australian football isn't exactly surprising either. I'm sure they'd rather that than see Morfuni waste money of improving STFCs own development infrastructure?
I have humble pie in the freezer ready for the day but I'd wager that Clem Morfuni's association with Swindon will be over by the time that project starts making meaningful profits.

I know of at least one local company who, until recently, hadn't been paid from a job this year. Heard a couple of delayed payments elsewhere too. Perhaps payments have been made since but it's the standard tactic. |
