You have no clue what our budget will be.

Neither do the people claiming we are in for a tough season.

And it's hardly a stretch to think a club the size of Swindon will be competitive in L2.

What’s the point in finally getting rid of Power and his rotten tenure and not have hope that things will get better.

I’m sure if Power with a bit of Standing’s money + Wellens can get promoted, then Axis can get somewhere near replicating it.

[Flashheart]

3/4 years to steady the ship I don't see the need.

Me neither.

Provided Clem is genuine the aim should be to get promoted straight away, but the current managerial and squad situation should be taken into account.

[Batch]

fair enough, it's all opinion.

mine is still in for a short term struggle, and a mid term grind to get the club on an even keel.

Nobody knows, it's all personal expectations. that's obvious. very much dependant on what skeletons power has left in the closet.

We don't even have a single inkling what the FA might conjure up what to do with us yet.
It's Swindon Town.

Without wishing to dampen the growing wave of enthusiasm, can we say for certain that the club isn't facing a potential points deduction?

[DiV]

But the issue still stand that we haven’t had a financial viable sustainable club for years for a variety of reasons.

Our previous promotions out of this league have all been built on a house of cards, as each time we end up in financial trouble & right back to square one.

If it was a simple as we’re a big club & our attendances cover our budget then we wouldn’t be in this mess (again, again)

We can not sustain a promotion chasing side at this level on attendances and merchandise sales alone. We never have been able to and this season will not being any different.
If Clem has money to throw in to make up the short fall so we can have a competitive side then fantastic but if he is legit and a legit business man he’s going want some stability first right? He’s going to want us living within our means first? Right.

I could of course be well off the mark here but certainly from what he’s said Clem isn’t here to bankroll us & hopefully he isn’t the type to bankroll us with loans - so where do we think this top L2 budget is coming from?

I've no idea. Again, this is Swindon Town.

Why would we get a points deduction?

Yes, we can say that.

I’m happy to be shouted down on this, but here goes.

Before Power cocked up the sale Clem said Axis had offered more than the mythical Able’s £7.5m. Let’s be kind and say they offered £8m.

They now only have to pay £250,000 plus what they consider to be ‘legitimate’ debts. Difficult to know from the accounts how much that would be but I’d like to think it’s way less than £7.25m. So, even if their initial offer of £8m had been accepted by Power, I presume Axis would have funds set aside for the club as well.

Could well be a sizeable chunk of money which won’t find its way into Power’s pocket.

Sounds plausible let's hope that you're right!

That is the FA though isn't it, not sure they can give the points deductions
