can't really remember it at Swindon before though..

owners, chairman, the board, managers and special advisors yes.

even the Sheridan year wasn't Jewell DoF? ok we were all locked out but even so

Did we have a DOF when Wellens was in charge? Jewell?

Yes, that's how I remember it. In fact I seem to remember reading somewhere that Power wanted Jewell as Manager and Jewell said he didn't want the job but recommended Wellens and said he wouldn't mind being DOF... or something along those lines... worked out pretty well really...

It's actually a shame Power was such a greedy, shady article as the football people he employed (ignoring the jurassic era) actually had football experience and acumen.

Sadly none of the current lot do.

Yeah, it wasn't all bad with Power by any means. These situations are rarely black or white...

And to be fair most of the time he brought in decent players

A Lee Power era worst XI would be a shocking side!

Let's just say I don't think we would be looking at our lowest points total in league 2

                                 Kovar

            Curran         Lancashire       Robertson

Barry                                                             Ormonde Ottewill
               Agombar        Balmy       Starkey

                     Feruz                Omotoye


That's getting relegated from the National League South.

The best XI would be pretty handy too though, I imagine it's just the 2014/5 Playoff side in full, maybe with Doyle and Yates up front over Obika and Smith.

Great work and hard to disagree but if we had a motivator like Steve Evans in charge who knows🤣

As per Nemo message can you do a best XI when you get time!

I wouldn't call that a 'Lee Power XI' though. It would need to be players that he brought in only. Still a decent XI in there for sure but lets not suddenly recast that turd as a footballing oracle.

Trying to stick to players signed by Lee Power. Strangely weak at CB for these seasons looking back, albeit quickly!

Surely one of the Belford brothers have to go in goal! Nice guys but yeah…

George Barker, Rhys Sharpe, Jamie Calvin (did he ever play), Anton Rodgers all fighting for a spot in that prestige XI

Scanning back through those squads there really are some horrors. This was a very quick back of a fag packet effort made up of the offenders who really jumped out at me!
