I really don't get this constant digging at"Power". I don't see the moaners running off to the "Trust" with their hundreds? I am truly baffled! Fuck knows where we would be without him?
Power's self sufficiency model is always going to be in trouble when the playing side turns to shit. Essentially, the Trust could probably run the club on the sort of shoestring basis of the last few years. Power's supposed master card is the ability to attract players through his contacts, and use the Swindon Way, to add value before sell on.
Think a lot of folk accept this is OK, but were probably expecting to see a bit of the summer sale money invested back into something more than Jordan Stewart.
However we did acquire the Kasim, Gladwin equivalence in BOO, Brophy, Barry etc. It was always going to require patience, and certainly a record breaking run of shitness at home was unlikely to endear fans, who shell out decent money on a ticket.
But we are just starting to see, something like a blossoming, with Barry and BOO, improving, admittedly from a very low base, Ajose scoring and Super Jon Obika, looking as if he's finally getting it. Hopefully this isn't like the globally warmed daffodils, already blooming to be chopped down by the first frosts.
