all these Holloway comments are getting me excited!!! Surely we can't bring a man like him to a club like ours??? I'd love it if it did happen though!

WE'VE GOT THE POWER!
this is certainly good news and could very well lead to the appointment of ian holloway, but i'm wary that people are putting two and two together and coming up with five...

Jesus H Christ, good news about STFC. Does this make us wone of the richest clubs in League 2?
I feel the need to get even more drunk than originally planned on Saturday and start singing "We've got the Power".
a few changes to the barrell of money song may be required as well.

Back page of the wiltshire edition of the daily press......Is a picture of him with his arms out stood on the pitch From that picture he looks strangely like curly watts of corrie. And the headline reads 'TOWN SAY : THANKS A MILLION!'. |

We’ve got the Power!
27th April 2006
EXCLUSIVE: BILL Power is to plough ‘significant’ investment into Swindon Town and wants to see the club firmly established as a Championship outfit.
The 52-year-old former Queens Park Rangers chairman will officially join the County Ground board of directors on May 15 yet he has no intention of becoming a member of the ‘prawn sandwich’ brigade.
Power, who made his fortune in the satellite communications industry, has pledged that he’s in it for the long haul and his goal is to help transform the club.
That means progress both on and off the pitch.
The Swindon Advertiser can reveal that negotiations stretching back four months have finally borne fruit and Power will adopt a very much ‘hands-on’ approach at the County Ground.
Power's initial investment into the club is thought to be around £1 million and it is very unlikely to be a one-off injection. He says he is in it for the long term.
Power and Devlin were chairman and chief executive respectively at Loftus Road before being ousted in a bitter boardroom battle by QPR’s current supremo Gianni Paladini.
Devlin has persuaded him to join the Town set-up to ease the financial burden on major shareholder Sir Seton Wills and Power cannot wait to get started.
It is clear that a budget will be in place to assist manager Iffy Onuora in the summer but Power is looking beyond that.
He said: “I see this as a club with terrific potential.
“I would like to ‘properly’ retire in 15 years or so, look back at this club and say ‘I helped transform that. I do see similiarities between this club and QPR.
“I believe this club can be successful and don’t see any reason why Swindon Town shouldn’t be firmly established in the Championship.
“It won’t happen overnight but that has to be the very least we hope for and aim for.
“It is a long-term plan and I’m looking forward to it.”
Devlin is delighted to welcome his former QPR colleague on board.
He said: “It is fantastic news for the club.
“I believe Bill’s addition to the board will make a crucial difference

Iffy to stay in charge?
