If what Power has said he has done is actually what Power has done that's got to be a good thing. Not short term on the pitch, but in a longer term picture.
If he's repaid (a portion) of money owed to him that's great.
I'll forever be paranoid abou what gets left behind after he's gone though.

Every business has an owner, you can't not have one. Some are a single person, others are millions of shareholders. It is a source from which to raise funds for investment, an equally they sometimes expect a return on their investment. STFC managed the first 100 years of its existence without an owner as such, or millions of shareholders. Power said he was here to make money... so one assumes he has made money, or continues to make money. One assumes once he fails to make money he'll be out the door.... of course its highly likely he hopes to cash in on HIghworth and the CG, in the future, it's just most Town fans would like to see something a bit more immediate, like some home wins. |

Even for those 100 years, I presume the Members were technically the owners. Even a Co-operative has owners, and technically State owned entities are owned by the populace.

Yes.... technically the shareholders were the owners. The Board would consist of worthies with more shares than the average punter from the Works. Yet they had to submit to re-election by the small shareholders. It was perceived in the 80's that this model should be changed for the new Thatcherite times, to encourage thrusting wealthy entrepreneurs on board to drive us forward... we got Brian Hillier, of the noted Calne hair emporium... Guys and Dolls. Happily, I can report that Calne still has a G and D... I assume the same one and not some hipster retro take. |

I see that if Lidls don't get promoted their owner could take away his backing as he can't afford another season in the Championship. |
