STFC Transfer Rumours

[horlock07]

I guess it's not unreasonable to think powers money guy would go with power.

Obviously it wasn't the case.

Isn't it the case that Austin actually got Morfuni involved (with both Power and the club) in the first place or did I image that, one would assume via common business interests. https://www.tes-group.co.uk/about/

It's pretty symptomatic of my disappointment of the break from Power not being the clean and new start I expected.

I don't see any break from Morfuni et al being any cleaner TBH....

So you knew we had a money launderer involved in the club for 7 years before the statement made after takeover?

That's fair enough.

Totally missed it.

This.

I've no desire to argue with you Bob. It doesn't really matter other than in trying to say what the "from day one" ment.

I thought they'd all go with Power when it was in the process of going through. The plattinum security cunts hanging around was an early red flag.

Yeah, he says as much in his initial statement.

[Exiled Bob]

Who are you even arguing with? TailBetweenLegs for his initial post that kicked this off? because nobody else is disputing that Clem was transparent about wanting Zav involved from the beginning.

I'm not "arguing" with anyone. Just pointing out that he has been transparent.

[Batch]

My whole point is that Morfuni gets slated for not being transparent, when he clearly has with regards to Austin.

Well to pick of fight for the sake of it The statement made and the intent to make him vice Chairman was transparent. Less so subsequent observed influence v being a "matchday guest" after.

I agree. Also, Austin has also stated on occasions that he is the Vice Chairman and in Karachi he even said he was the Chairman (or, at least, that's what was reported). Not sure Morfuni can do much about that, but it's not a good image.

It's his name over the door, of course he can do something about it, it's almost like he is afraid to address it, like Austin has a hold over him or something..  makes you wonder eh  

Don't forget, he is 100% owner of this football club..  until it turned out he was actually not being transparent and wasn't..  but that's just another example, let's put that to one side for the sake of the Austin subject.

Clem is pretty transparent tbf. He's so transparent you can see right through him.

I wouldn't argue with any of that, but then it wasn't the point I made. Which was that Morfuni has always been transparent about Austin's role at the club.

It was in response to

" Not sure Morfuni can do much about that, but it's not a good image. "

He can do everything about that. He's the owner.

[Exiled Bob]

Which is why I said I wouldn't argue with it...

Besides, for all you know, he may have done something about it.

Do you think he’s just a matchday guest then?
Because that’s the stance Morfuni has been taking for some time now, even when Austin has been prancing around (from his office at the CG) regularly masquerading as our Vice Chairman. (Remember him acting as the club’s representative at the signing of the Karachi deal).

Clem may have been honest or transparent about what he wanted Austin to do, however since it became obvious that he wouldn’t be allowed to fulfill that role Morfuni has been anything but transparent.

I have no idea. Do you have any details of anything he has been involved in that would prove he is anything other than a match day guest? I don't.

As for the Karachi thing, we were informed it was a voluntary thing by Austin. That may be bullshit. Again, do you have anything to show it is not true?

I mean, with regards to Austin, I go back to something I said earlier... he was involved with the club for at least 7 years before Morfuni took over. Why did you all only become concerned after the takeover? Has he been involved in anything dodgy during the time of his involvement with the club?

You posted that he’s been describing himself as Vice Chairman or even chairman, is that not proof?

The pictures of him at the signing of the deal at the Pakistan High Commission in his Swindon Town gear, with the comments about him being a STFC official.

In fairness he was overshadowed by Power, I think most were focused on getting rid of Power, and hoped that Morfuni would clear house & get rid of the hangers on (including Austin).

I think most have been critical of him since Power left, but you’re right we have no proof of criminal activity since then, other than masquerading as something he’s not allowed to be.
