The not STFC Transfer Rumours

[Exiled Bob]

Which is why I said I wouldn't argue with it...

Besides, for all you know, he may have done something about it.

[No Longer Posh Red]

I wouldn't argue with any of that, but then it wasn't the point I made. Which was that Morfuni has always been transparent about Austin's role at the club.

Do you think he’s just a matchday guest then?
Because that’s the stance Morfuni has been taking for some time now, even when Austin has been prancing around (from his office at the CG) regularly masquerading as our Vice Chairman. (Remember him acting as the club’s representative at the signing of the Karachi deal).

Clem may have been honest or transparent about what he wanted Austin to do, however since it became obvious that he wouldn’t be allowed to fulfill that role Morfuni has been anything but transparent.

I have no idea. Do you have any details of anything he has been involved in that would prove he is anything other than a match day guest? I don't.

As for the Karachi thing, we were informed it was a voluntary thing by Austin. That may be bullshit. Again, do you have anything to show it is not true?

I mean, with regards to Austin, I go back to something I said earlier... he was involved with the club for at least 7 years before Morfuni took over. Why did you all only become concerned after the takeover? Has he been involved in anything dodgy during the time of his involvement with the club?

You posted that he’s been describing himself as Vice Chairman or even chairman, is that not proof?

The pictures of him at the signing of the deal at the Pakistan High Commission in his Swindon Town gear, with the comments about him being a STFC official.

In fairness he was overshadowed by Power, I think most were focused on getting rid of Power, and hoped that Morfuni would clear house & get rid of the hangers on (including Austin).

I think most have been critical of him since Power left, but you’re right we have no proof of criminal activity since then, other than masquerading as something he’s not allowed to be.

People are concerned because it was made public that Zavier Austin was to be Vice Chairman of the club. Via an official club statement.

It didn't happen, and yet on several occasions since he still describes himself as so. He's literally going around telling people that's what he is, and taking people onto the pitch. Offering himself out to protestors. Not things a matchday guest would do.

This rhetoric that you can't be concerned now because he was doing shady stuff in the background 7 years prior is complete nonsense. There's a lot more information that's been made publicly available. People have been educated.

I think you're just arguing for the sake of arguing to be honest.

[FreddySTFC!]

As a betting man, I would lump on Austin being the true owner of the football club.
Morfuni just acting out as his front man.
Will be very interesting if Morfuni ends up being disqualified as a director as a result of his court case in Oz.
Where we go from there, I'm not so sure!

So the issue is, then, what Austin has been saying, rather than Morfuni's transparency. Well, I agree with you. As I already told you, I'm not arguing about it, merely pointing out that Morfuni has been transparent. But you seem intent on putting words in my mouth to create an argument. I also didn't say that "you can't be concerned now because he was doing shady stuff in the background 7 years prior"...you made that up. I asked why you only became concerned about him after Morfuni took over, when he had already been at the club for at least 7 years.

For the record, Morfuni has stated, publically, when asked directly on Austin's role, that he has no official role in the club. Austin spouting off, saying otherwise is exactly that. Austin spouting off.

Yes. You have pointed out about 5 times now over multiple threads that Morfuni has been transparent about ORIGINALLY wanting ZA as VC. I'm not sure why you keep mentioning it, because I'm yet to see somebody who disagrees with you on this.

Transparency since this though has been about as clear as mud.

I became 'concerned' the minute a convicted criminal was going to be running the football club in Clem's absence, because of an official club statement pretty much telling me so. Sorry if you take issue with that. I can't be concerned about something I previously didn't know about.

For the record, Morfuni has stated, publically, when asked directly on Austin's role, that he has no official role in the club. Austin spouting off, saying otherwise is exactly that. Austin spouting off.

Oh well that's ok then! Clem has never lied before so that's settled my nerves.

Are you SERIOUSLY taking what CM says at face value?

[Exiled Bob]

What is it you think I'm arguing with you about?

How many times do I need to repeat (since you've evidently noted what my original point was and have counted how many times I've said it) that I agree with you on all the issues about Austin?

[Pericardinho]

Are you broken? what sort of response is that.

Anyway. Back to transfer rumours. I don't even know how we got here.

Well, since I have stated above that I agree with you....I don't know what it is you think we disagree about.

There are now 4-5 pages of non-transfer related stuff in this STFC Transfer Rumours thread.

This was started by a post from me highlighting a report showing that a youth goalkeeper was potentially being linked with a move to either Spurs or Arsenal.

If you want to start yet another playground fight about something not transfer related, then have the decency to start your own thread that others can ignore if they so wish. But, this thread, I would suggest, is one that all STFC fans on the forum are likely to want to be interested in.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Yep.

Well I'd say it was started by TailBetweenLegs getting the wrong thread.

I did try on 2 separate occasions to switch it back to transfers.
