One of his first comments as our new owner was something along the lines of
“Why would someone worth $200 million want to buy Swindon”
Way things are going looks like you ain’t worth 200 rupees son.

The Peterborough model is probably one more relevant to us. . Sandro said paying money for players will be the exception, not the rule. (So not ruled out, but we don't have the cash to splash on punts) Peterborough actually pay for players. I mean I guess it's fair enough |

Mr Power did warn us that Clem Morfuni didn't have the funds available to fund STFC.
Nobody gave a shit at the time, because we were so desperate to be rid of him.
Evidence suggests he may well have been correct.
What evidence? |

Oh and whilst we are it club growth is just a big a myth as sustainability.
The only way to grow is to have millions pumped into us.
The rise up the leagues in 80 and a club like ours getting to Premier League in the 90s is done.
We’re an insignificant, nothing club destine to yo yo between the 3rd and 4th tier and win fuck all for the rest of our history.
Our sole purpose is to make up the numbers and the fact we even bother to turn up and continue to support the club is a mystery. All that effort & dedication for fuck all ever again.
Our generation has the responsibility to not take our kids to football. To not continue this awful tradition of support for a football club destined to do nothing ever again.

Succinctly put. Equally why bother with the lottery. Because it’s the hope that kills you. |

Exactly, we all hate Power but why? Maybe he was trying to do us all favour?
Like everyone seemed to fight to get him out just so they can bitch and moan about how dodgy our new owners are…or…if they are even our owners? All that effort to just do the same thing over again. Why?
…and most of it is probably based on nothing but the minute anything negative comes the light the smugness will be unbearable…

This, albeit not sure about the all hating Power bit, he seems to be getting redemption from some higher up the thread. Trying to drag things back to the topic of the thread, looks like potentially Toffolo is off to the Premier league. Sent from my SM-A125F |

…and if he did, we’d have crucified him for being the cheap option and not scoring a hat trick on his debut… |

I mean I guess it's fair enough
They are also 16 million in debts and raisng 2.5m in bonds to try help pay for things  |
