Clem has no known baggage and his statements on the future he sees for the club have been put in the public domain - so we do, st least, have something to judge him on.
As noted above Clem will suffer from what he has followed and the cynicism and suspicion embedded in a lot of our fan base, this guy 8 years (good god) back was saying a lot of 'the right things'. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/21590928

For some fans, success on the pitch is the only yardstick, but, IMO, getting back to being a functional football club again is far more important. As a a club we’ve been plagued with short termism and the opportunity for some to make a fast buck for far too long.
Let’s have a vision and stick to it. Long term it’s the only way to go.
We had that with Fitton. That didn't last. I hope Clem has more stomach for dealing with football people. In the industries he's worked in, he's probably knocked around with rougher types than the posh boys ever did.

People taking about Power will walk off with the Twine money, as this goes through the FL they are likely to keep any monies so it reduces what stfc owe them on the loan, and in any case with the court case ongoing the FL may not release any money until ownership is clear.
Nobody knows the terms of the FL loan, with the club due money from the FL some of that may be held back as part payment, or it may be used to clear the FL loan first.
Yeah. Nobody has a scooby about how these things are dealt with. Wonder when the FA charges will appear. Is there any punishment they can dish out that would matter a jot if Power is no longer a club owner?

Got to say, I have wondered if any of his dealings actually goes beyond just fucking a football club over.

I'd love to be a fly on the well in Power's office or wherever when he's speaking with his lawyers.

Assuming he takes over, I suspect we will not see a great deal of him weekly / monthly. I’ve seen nothing to suggest he’ll relocate - does anyone know? That’s not a problem of course. It just means the people who he appoints (his version of Nick Watkins for the business and Paul Jewell for the football) need to be good.

He's said he already knows who his CEO is going to be so assume that will be the fella/women who will be his boots on the ground.

He's already said he won't be relocating and will be in touch with his general manager/whoever once or twice a week or so.

Will the issue over the debenture be dealt with in court as well, if Power paid below the reported £2m for it, can the court then force him to enable it be be sold with stfc for the amount he paid and not with the reported £14k a month interest or is that worth whatever he says it is worth ?
I assume this interest is the interest that Power pays on his loan plus his interest rate on top ?

He runs a business that does $x00 pa in revenue. He's not going to leave Aus and work for STFC.
He has already said, repeatedly, he'll delegate and his CEO will run everything day-to-day.

I think he mentioned something about hiring a CEO rather than relocating to Swindon.
