Title: Bill Powers an Oxford fan.... Post by: DV on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 17:30:40 .... :roll:
Plough in loads of money, sign high profile management on big wages, then leave.... I've only just got in from work, so I'm trying catch up on everything... are we fucked? has Power cut all ties to our club....or has he just not taken a seat on the board? Lifesupport again? 2 years left? Title: Bill Powers an Oxford fan.... Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 17:35:00 Depends if his investment was part of the business plan. We don't even know if Power planned to invest any more money.

Title: Bill Powers an Oxford fan.... Post by: fatbury on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 18:12:01 the one reason that BP might have pulled out is cos after the crash he reassessed his life ... plus some injuries he sustained as well .. with Diamandis and the others giving him grief he decided it wasnt worth it is his current state in life ..... im sure he knows how much the fans will be gutted but he had to put himself first ... we would probably all do the same ... i certainly think things like letting him know JUST HOW IMPORTANT this is to us COULD change his mind .. this will mean our forum and Loud and Proud organising the correct campaigns to do this

Title: !? Post by: DV on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 21:44:47 but....has Bill Power come out and said he has cut all ties with Swindon....or has he just said he isnt taking a seat on the board...
If its the latter, then I dont see what the big deal is....he isnt fit to work, so wont.....that wont stop his company making money and him being able to put it into STFC if needed... or have I missed something here? ps. fatbury...l&p wtf?!!?!?!?Q!?!?!?!

Like Mr burns buying the powerplant back off the germans. Title: Bill Powers an Oxford fan.... Post by: DV on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 21:51:04 has he got shares then?
So....if he does, then he hasnt cut all ties and therefore....all he has done is turned down an official job withiin the club board....and can still and may still invest?!?!

Someone said that bob holt said (!) he bought 33% of the wills shares for his million quid. i wouldnt get your hopes up though VD :| Title: Bill Powers an Oxford fan.... Post by: DV on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 21:57:29 like I said, I havent managed to read everything in detail....but the way I've read it is like this.
Bill Power isnt healthy enough to hold down a full time professional role within the club, and will therefore not take a seat on the board....thats it...he is signed off work due to physical injury. Please tell me if I am wrong...but thats how I've read it Title: Bill Powers an Oxford fan.... Post by: Boeta on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 22:36:06 Power is Brady mark II im afraid
we're up the shitter again Title: Bill Powers an Oxford fan....

Power is leaving for good DV, not hanging around. Club statements, not Bill, suggest they think he'll keep the shares or at least can't sell them....if they exist. Title: Bill Powers an Oxford fan.... Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 22:46:39 Apart from the small matter of nearly dying inbetween. :-))(
Brady was a property developer looking to make money. If bill Power was looking to make money out of STFC then I'd love to know how given the stadium situation Title: Bill Powers an Oxford fan....

Title: Bill Powers an Oxford fan.... Post by: RobertT on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 22:50:23 Yes, £1.1 to £1.2m. Club have accepted this today in dealings with the press when asked about repayment.

Post by: RobertT on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 23:04:18 as I understand it, the said info came from a Radio interview today on Radio Swindon. Several people posted the details at the time after Bob mentioned £1m ish for 33% stake in the company (if he got it)
