Then reduce it in January like most sane business.

It could be unrelated, but I think I saw the shirts before the rest came out and it was certainly "wtf"!

I'm sure they do have too much stock and a sale will be needed. But that can't have been much more than cost price, very unusual for a club that likes to wring the last penny.
Coincides with the rumour we owe Puma a wedge as well.

Apparently they both almost had a fight sponsored by Reggie Kray. You couldn’t make it up.

Nothing we didn’t already know, just gives a timeline of recent events (and appears to get confused at the end suggesting he doesn’t know why Power would want to get back involved)

Good that this is getting coverage but unless you are in the weeds like us it is always going to be a 'Wikipedia rundown' of events. Wasn't expecting revelations.

At least they've gone from 'it could be worse, it could be Southend' to 'the slight rustle of red flags'.

Given the post Andrew Black story arc, yes I absolutely can imagine it.

I can also imagine the Trust response: "Lee Power has assured us he is a changed man. On that basis we have given him access to the Trust funds to be placed on Curran's Delight, running in the 1245 at Towcester. We look forward to the dawn of our new relationship as critical friends. We would also like to welcome his new investors, The Gambino Family. We have done extensive due diligence on them. They have identified an exciting partnership with a Football Club in Micronesia. More updates to follow!"

Clem's charm offensive was very impressive from the off and there's a 'not average' fan who can take a lot of credit for that. They still work busily behind-the-scenes to fly the flag for the ownership. They keep a very low profile which has made their impact so significant with PR and keeping the fans sweet.

Rich, is the identity of Morfuni's PR man to remain a mystery for now?
