Thats exactly my approach Chris K if the time comes to fight then ill be there fighting but currently we are dealing with rumour and counter rumour.I'll be at the meeting Wednesday but with out statements from Power/Devlin/Wills etc I wonder what its going to achieve bar a bunch of people being outraged but not actually knowing what they are outraged about.

Well I cant ask fairer than that Chris. Dunwoody are in a hurry to get rid of Devlin, so Im pretty confident.
As for the damage, I think the fatal blow has already been dealt. Our failure not to do business with Power is an unbelievable error that will cost us for a decade. Wise was only here for a season maybe 18 months, Power was the real deal.
Dunwoody didnt have to go, they could have been in partnership with Power. But they got greedy, Diamindies pushed his luck too far and the devastating plane crash has allowed them to retake total control of the club. Dunwoody on their own are absolutely hopeless, the period of summer 04 to late 06 was some of the worst management Ive ever seen.
As for Sam, you have to listen to Reg mate. He knows the score at the club.

Do you think that maybe Power/Devlin were close to finding out something Dunwoody didn't want them to know, or is it more a case of Mikey the Greek wanting to hold all the cards and not let Power have any?

Nah, Devlin/Power already knew what Dunwoody were like. They should have been able to handle them. But the plane crash has drastically/fatally weakened their position.
Doesnt really help our cause calling him 'mikey the greek'.
Its all about money.

trust run clubs are run better!! thats a fact! (i think!!) In theory. But I think they are for smaller scale clubs than STFC. If you want to be 1st division and ambitious you have to play the game. Thats serious business men, who know big money business. Some secrets have to be kept. Just the way it is, its just money. Obviously theres a lot of holes you could poke in that, but its my view. Plus I take heart from someone like Bill Power ever comming near us. In reality STFC is nothing more than a shell. But BP's efforts gives me hope for the future. Just because Dunwoody have run us badly doesnt mean all money men will. Shouldnt go from one extreme to the other.

I'm in the Chris K / Yeovil bracket at the moment.
Whilst several people whos views and integrety I respect have told me some things in the past week I want to see some evidence with my own eyes so to speak. Sadly I cant make the meeting on wednesday.
If Devlin goes I'll be pissed off. If wise goes I'm going to start a riot.

Power was 10 times more important to the club than what Wise is. I would say that you have got your priorities wrong.
Wise will be touted for every job that comes along, and will go sooner or later. Hes just made too much of a splash. Thats football.

Have to say I’m a bit undecided as to what Dennis will do.
He seems to have made quite a professional and emotional investment in the side and he’s certainly not a quitter so I’d only see it with a heavy heart that he’d walk away. That said when you look back at when he left Millwall it was under similar circumstances to the stories circulating so it’s a bit of a concern.
I’d definitely agree with Spence, Power is the main loss in the long term. But again I’m sailing on the same boat that until I hear something concrete as fucked off with it all as I am it’s a hard call to go sharpening the hatchet just yet.
Just out of curiosity does anyone know if Cliff Puffet is still involved with the club? He did initially head the current consortium and said at the time he wouldn’t be taking a place on the board but he hasn’t been herd of in a long time. I may be wrong but wasn’t he a member of the Trust at one point, his intentions always seemed fairly good, it would be interesting to see what he makes of it all.
