I know you're trying to be humerus 4D but for once it isn't on my radius, what you're ulna bout...
No arm done, I suppose!

So, all things being equal - Power has gone, we’ve got a middling to top end budgie and a new manager.
How many points deducted could we overcome and stay in L2?
I reckon 10-12.

2018-19 under Brown/Wellens we finished 23 points above the drop 2017-18 under Flitcroft/Brown 22 points above Two down means you have to be really quite bad to go down. Not that I don't think we could manage it in the right circumstances.

Still achieving 55-58/9 points could prove difficult

Last season, we finished 12 points ahead of 8th. A margin that would probably have been wider if the season had finished.
Why assume not going down should be the aim? And we don't even know if we will be deducted any points at all, so we're jumping the gun a bit here.

So the information Power was required to give Clem, has indeed been shared.

At which point Clem looks at it and thinks ‘fuck this’

You say that there must be money to make. I’m not so sure. We all know that football beneath the PL is a very difficult business.
As I have noted many times whilst there might be money to be made out of lower league football clubs, there are a damn sight easier ways of making money, without the risk or associated public scrutiny, still don't get the appeal. I doubt the land + planning permission will be part of any club sale. That’s the juicy but for Power. The training ground sounds mythical to me - an attempt at keeping the fans on board until all these skeletons came falling out. I don’t believe for a minute what Power said about a peppercorn rent that the club would pay - he would have screwed us just as Kassam has screwed the piss stains over the rent they pay him for the triangle.
Maybe he’d sell that portion of land supposedly set aside for the training ground separately to whoever ends up buying the club.
Tbh, I just want him gone, accept whatever shit comes our way and start again.
In playing a longer game the training ground land could be worth a hell of a lot more than it is now with a little bit of investment to make it 'the training ground'. To me the Houses site is the short term return, the training ground is a longer term investment and the stables are Powers plaything funded by the other elements.

But if a club sale is imminent, surely Power can’t commit the club to renting some mythical training ground of him that is, at this moment, just a field.

Its not that, with a bit of nous and some careful strategy he could uplift the value hugely through playing the planning system cleverly.

I’ll have to leave that to those with knowledge of said system. It’s beyond my ken.
