I think Bassam's just quoting Power on that and Power's grammar isn't the greatest. Bassam still didn't use closing quotation marks though.

Yeah he did, at the end of the quote.

I assume the link to Xavier Austin is linked to the Australian construction company?

Haha!  The real one sounds a real 'charmer' from the language on his Twitter page. Plus, there's this (but not much else): http://companycheck.co.uk/director/916897706

Got a nice website... http://www.tesgroup.co.uk/

But, if he's quoting something Power said, then it would still be "could've" not "could of". :wink:

I think Bassam may have got "formally" and "formerly" confused, too!

"Austin is listed as a company director at Tes Facilities Management Limited"

Fixed that for you as well, Tom.

Are you suggesting this has something to do with the mysterioius Jovanovic?  Need Fola on the case.

Bloody hell it shows how things have changed, 3 new directors appointed (2 unknown) a thread lasts 20 posts and then silence...

If Power ever needs an indication that fans are reasonably trusting of his objectives, in the good old days this would have been up to 20 odd pages by now - what is up with us all, have we gone soft?

I think a squad photo of our nightmarish boardroom dwellers may be larger than our current squad. Imagine all this lot in one place, sharing little stories of how they cooked the books and pulled the curtains on the orange hats outside the Arkells, or generally didn't have a clue what was going on: Rikki Hunt, Sandy Gray, Bob Holt, Terry Brady, Ian Blatchley, the other East Londoner, Diamond Mike, Andrew Andronikou, Martyn Starnes, Willie Carson, William Patey, Jed Gerard McCrory McCoy, Gary Whooper, Callum Rice, Steve Murrall.

The list of those who get off the hook is a lot smaller: the Wills' (just), Wray, Fitton... Power (undecided)
