And a little pop at De Canio on the way through the article.

It's a bit of a puff piece obviously but Power does come across well.

What is it people don't like about Power? He isn't buying, or at least offering to buy pints for all? He isn't paying out on massive player contracts? He is a control freak who will only appoint puppets who do his bidding? Or just the fact that he comes across as a dodgy spiv who has no obvious reason to be involved with Town apart from the unlikely prospect of making a quick buck out of us?

But for him to make a quick buck out of us he would have to get us to the championship, if he does that then fair play if he makes money from us.

Perhaps the latter considering his links with Peckham!!  Personally, if he get's us into the championship in the next couple of years he could have come from outer space as far as I could care.  Incidentally, makes you wonder just why Andrew Black sold us when the championship was within our grasp and he could have got a return on his investments.

There were people on nearly £14,000 a week, which was ridiculous – obviously, that was the manager

Don't think anyone said they didn't like him did they? (On this thread). Or were you aiming that more generally?

Phil Spencer.
No, Di Canio and his enormous self-regard. It's so massive it commanded a salary in it's own right

He took a wage for every one of his schizophrenic personalities, he was actually only on £3,500 a week normal wage.

You can't blame Spencer or Di Canio. It would be Andrew Black that offered them that wage.

I think we found out that Black had very little control over finances thanks to rogue 'friends'.

All "deals" were sorted out by Wray and not Black.

I don't know how true it was, but I did hear that PDC employed his coaching staff, and not the club. If this was the case then it could go some way to explaining the possible £14,000 per week salary.
