Let's say Clem is here to stay.
What has to happen to talk you off a ledge in the next month?
I'll start:
1. Sack Flynn and Hatswell. The most tactically inept management team I can remember in 30 years. 2. Appoint a manager with at least one EFL promotion on their CV. 3. Announce major new investment, from a legitimate source with no history of criminality and easily attributable wealth. 4. Appoint an experienced EFL CEO. 5. Announce the stadium redevelopment plan, with a clear timetable etc. 6. Sign Kemp. Meaningless in the long term but it is a statement of intent. 7. End the window with a squad at least 5 players bigger than it is currently. 8. Of those signings, we need at least 3 players with 200+ EFL appearances. 9. 1 x CB, 1 x DM, 1 x Winger and 1 x Striker as a minimum on top of Kemp. 10. Freeze or reduce season ticket prices.

There is no way back, he’s a proven liar and his credibility is gone. Moot point anyway as you can guarantee none of the above will happen.

Oh don't get me wrong, we will see Pink Floyd's pig over the County Ground before any of that happens.
I'm being theoretical and sort of vaguely attempting to be positive.

The real challenge is, given Clem is trying to sell the club, what the hell can he possibly do in Jan to change the direction of this ship.

I’ll only be happy if Clem sells the club to The Rock. Anything less is not good enough.

January the last roll of the dice. Better players already on contracts thus going to have his work cut out. Had enough. We are both physically and mentally weak.
So many are still pro Clem, definitely the majority. Without doubt it’s about to get a lot worse.

Finally, the Rock has come back, to Swindon Wilt-Shire!

Can’t understand how anyone can be pro Clem after this utter fuck up of a season and the lies re the shares and budget. If the majority still support him then they don’t deserve a football league club

I think part of the problem is there's no alternative known right? When we wanted Diamandis/Wills out, there was Bill Power/Trust/Fitton eventually, then when we wanted Power out there was Clem. There's no obvious next cab off the rank right now, the Trust are not in a position to mount any sort of bid and nobody else has publicly come out as wanting the club.

There is no way back for the current regime. A good January (incredibly unlikely as we already know) and the Season Ticket debacle from the TSTBL will only serve the already esteemed Clem fanboys and mouthpieces. It will just paper the cracks for the rest of the already sinking ship that is STFC under this stewardship.
Can see it now, Kemp signed permanently being the only signing but at the expense of selling Khan and Hutton, and the club repeating the line 'well we gave you Kemp 2025, what more do you need'.

For me its positive news that TSTBL came out with, they have taken a lot of stick on this, which is undeserved.
Let's see what Janaury brings
