.... :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?

Depends if his investment was part of the business plan. We don't even know if Power planned to invest any more money.

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

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!?!?!?!

ps. fatbury...l&p wtf?!!?!?!?Q!?!?!?! its true. unless he sells his shares then he'll have the option of getting back involved. tomorrows news: The wills offer to buy powers shares back for £1. Like Mr burns buying the powerplant back off the germans. |

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

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. |
