I harbour the dream that somewhere in the slow turning wheels of the Serious Fraud Office there lurks a large file on Lee Power that’s making its way to the top of the pile…

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Rob Angus looks like he’s got a Fray Bentos pie up his shirt.

He's played a blinder by funding the club with Jed's, Standing, Gareth Barry, Clem's and now Roman's cash and playing some of them off each other. I guess you don't mess with Roman's friends..... |

It has been established that it wasn't but perhaps he'd want to stir the shit. Who knows at this point with this cast of characters. It is a rogues gallery. |

I was going to say, if it was a footballing talent venture, then we got it around the wrong way. As it is, the scheme is clearly to exploit (in entirely legal ways) the Visa demand from Pakistan (recent exposures suggest we should be a little worried about whether any less whiter than white activities are linked).

Getting back to this ‘loan’.
If the money never made it into the club’s accounts how can there be any sanction? If Power pocketed it or did whatever he did with it but it never actually appeared in the accounts what rules could the club have broken?

That is going to depend on the details, if they can ever determine them. The stuff in the 80's never made it's way to the books, and was precisely why we ended up in the shit. If he trousered a bunch of money for nothing, and we never actually saw any of that money at STFC, directly or indirectly, then I doubt much will happen. But, if STFC was used to return favours, funnel income, provide insight that Chelsea leveraged elsewhere etc. then who knows. |

But any such shenanigans need to be documented somehow. I’m sure Power’s grasp of shenanigans, and how to hide them, must have been quite good.
He managed to trouser £6m from Standing with, afaik, little if any paperwork
Ditto Clem and his £1.1m
Got to be said, he was a genius!
