Lee Power ≠ Swindon Town FC.
Totally, but still understand what he is saying. He hasn't said he wants us to go bust ow would be happy to.

There are so many variable but do genuinely wonder whether going bust and starting from scratch might be the best thing for us.
I guess a lot of that would depend on who started / owned / financed the Phoenix club and what level we had to start at...plus things like a stadium and what not.
I dunno lots of clubs with lots of different levels of success with this.
Phoenix clubs in the regional leagues die out within a year or two, AFCW aside (and they were a unique situation). I'd be finished - just become a casual PL sofa fan with the half a dozen Watford games and England away games a year.

I don't see how it would solve anything. You'd still have owners coming and going who may or may not be shifty. Some might argue it'll be better if the club is fan-owned, but I don't see how that will solve anything either. I think it actually sounds quite dull.

I kind of get what he is saying though. I am sure he doesn't WANT the club to go bust but if they did will not feel guilty for not helping out financially. I am the same
That's exactly what I'm saying, in years gone by I would have put have renewed and spent money at the club without thinking about it. I've had a season ticket for the last 25 years and for a lot of them I was playing on Saturdays so got no where near value for money but was happy to play my small part and still give the club season ticket money. With the current circumstances I don't feel that same goodwill, this is Lee Powers business and its his problem to keep it going now, as supporters we've been completely alienated by the club. As fond as I am of STFC it's not a keep it going at all cost scenario for me any more and for the first time I wouldn't feel any guilt in starving the club of funding.

We should restart in Arizona in the States, and be a proper Phoenix club then!

Didier Drogba et al might not be too receptive to that idea.

There's gash, and then there are fixtures against Brimscombe & Thrupp and Shrivenham. Every Week. Not for me Geoff.

True. I think some might the change refreshing though. I guess it also depends on whether you’d get stuck in those divisions for years or fly through them. Having had a quick look I didn’t realise how many Italian teams have gone bankrupt, started again and flown to the leagues. Although they only start at C level.

I think the structure of the league in Italy makes that way easier, much like when Rangers started again in the 4th level of Scottish football, we would have to start at level 10 the same as Bury.

If we didn't fly up the leagues straight away, we could just try again with another club!

I'd end up at Gloucester City, tidy new ground and they hate Cheltenham and the Vegans as well.
