Probably basing his comment like I do, on available evidence, so from Hale....

Maybe FGR pay their goalkeeping coach, a closer sum of money to what their players earn, but that would be unusual...
If you re-read the quote, it seems to be more about security than money ("a better contract and most importantly one offering far greater security for myself and my wife in an industry which is volatile and insecure"). So more likely he's been offered a longer term contract or maybe he was previously on an as and when basis and is now on a firmer contract. Doesn't always have to be about the headline rate

Well, probably not in Jewell's case as he is (supposedly) Power's hire. Or Power's nepotism, doing a favour for a mate's lad, depending on who you believe

I've never heard the name before, what did he do?

Supposedly, Power's good mates with Paul Jewell and Sam employed as a favour. No idea if that's true, even if they are mates doesn't mean Jewell Jr isn't good at his job anyway. The fact he's moved on to a higher placed club suggests he knows his stuff unless his Dad supposedly has mates there too.

The stuff about Vince and his motives for involvement in FGR reminded me of this quite interesting article a mate put on FB recently:

Similar pattern - using a football club as an enabling development for a bigger property deal (allegedly)

Sums it up exactly. Desperate to get the club in the football league so he can claim the benefit to the local area card!

Aware of this (I live there) but Javelin Park (where he was actually looking originally) where the incinerator is going is an existing brown field site whereas Eastington where the 'Eco Park' is proposed is Green Field and the roads would never cope down on J13 with a business park as cars already back up on to the motorway there at rush hour. All of the local residents have already raised a petition and with so many existing business parks within a 5 mile radius that still have scope for expansion I don't see it happening anytime soon.
It won't happen and if it does it'll take so long Vince will get bored and fuck off somewhere else.
Point is that in reality the football club is just a pawn in a bigger end game and with the inevitable consequence of disappearing into the oblivion. Having met Vince he's a fairly obnoxious character to say the least who constantly tries to force his own opinions down your throat.
Sounds positive for Cooper, someone there to blame when things don't go right?

Not a bad article to start, but i'm struggling to see what the property development angle would be? I know Reading very well and there's not much left to develop that side ,unless they are on about moving across the M4? Or West to the lakes/old gravel pits?

He is specifically the Seagulls u-21 recruitment chief, guess he had the same job here but we didn't see any results from it!

Williams said they will be very difficult to replace so its a bit of a blow really. Hopefully Power can use his contacts to replace them adequately.

Although it is an inconvenience, I very much doubt Luke Williams would say 'fuck 'em, we'll replace them easily'.
