13,000 regularly? That was just the once v Exeter.
If he thinks Power was a wonderful chairman he can stay at Orient.

I think in manager terms, “wonderful” means “doesn’t interfere”. He says he had the ability to get on with things his way. It does make me wonder for a second if the rumour of his return has legs, and part of the deal is that he doesn’t want a DOF, as that would be an interference in his mind. Doubtful, but you never know.

Been on holiday, away from the net for a week, not read back, has anything happened? Seriously though, has he left or not, is he Judas or not etc etc?

Nothing has been conformed at all. Charlton have released a non-statement and the owners wife has had a couple of posts on twitter that basically says "don't believe everthing you read" Also check out a couple of articles on the Adver site re: budget (+40) and a couple of hints we are looking for a new manager in the background.

According to James Spence, he’s gone. The hold up now is agreeing compo for Marshall and Lindsay.
Brian Rix would have been proud of this one.

Except the interview was from back in April. I guess this situation could have been known for that long but seems unlikely

I'm the same, been avoiding this site for the most part. I believe the latest is that it has been announced by press that Swindon and Charlton have sorted Compo and Garner has agreed to take a 2 year contract there. We are still in discussion over Compo for his 2 coaches who he wants to take with him and that seems to be the sticking point. Charlton released a flaky generic statement telling people not to believe stuff on social media but it appears that the official announcement is likely in a couple of days. As for the Judas stuff, that's for you to make up your own mind!

I understand that they want to give us £100k for Garner but they are willing to pay £200k if we take Davison in px

I had dipped in via Tapatalk occasionally on my blower, but that seems to piss around with the order that posts appear, and with the TEF in full pearl clutching meltdown at times, it was nigh impossible to follow what, if anything, was actually happening.

You mean he’s telling porkies to the media, there’s a surprise. For those who give him a free pass because he was working under Power, just remember he thought he was a wonderful chairman

I'll probably get shot down here but the setup we had with Power, Jewell and Wellens did in fact work fine in the league 2 season. Easy to see why Wellens was happy. He was backed with Doyle, Yates and a healthy budget. Had control of the club, engaged with the community and was largely untouchable for a while. What's not to be happy about?
Obviously in hindsight we all know it was Powers last ditch attempt to reach League One and flog the club. The plan worked perfectly but unfortunately for him, Covid struck and the gamble backfired. Then a lot of dodgy stuff started to become public and the rest is history.

Think you are spot on.

Very much so, if Power was such a wonderful chairman and Swindon such a good club then why did he up and leave at the first opportunity?
