Whats wrong with football?

This is more likely, I am pretty sure thats the only connection between Kiely and Power though. My wifes uncle knew the Krays but it doesnt mean he was a gangster too.

TBF it's quite a strong connection still when you add it to the amount of people still involved in the club from Powers days

I suspect that the problem with such an approach will be that for all the hangers on/investors that we are aware of there are possibly a good few that we are not aware of, so much of the latter Power days and subsequent Morfuni days have more than an air of rearranging of deckchairs rather than any great change... If you are trying to do a deal with a shed load of parties it makes a clean sweep very hard to achieve.

Abosultely and 100% this needs to happen. And ASAP.

Imagine if this happened at Swindon.

YEOVIL Town have banned fans from attending matches who have criticised the club and the chairman on social media.

The Glovers are 15th in the National League and appear to have consolidated following promotion last season.

Banning order letter from Yeovil Town Football Club.

One fan received a letter outlining his two-year ban for social media comments

But the club has looked to clamp down on criticism after falling out of the play-off hunt, having been one point off the top seven at Christmas.

Fans have found themselves banned from the club, with Yeovil claiming "negative comments" from supporters on social media have "caused significant disruption".

One Yeovil fan revealed he has been banned from Huish Park for two years and shared a letter he received from the club.

It read: "Following a thorough review of your recent conduct on social media platform X, we are writing to inform you that, as a result of your negative comments and remarks regarding the club and the chairman, the decision has been made to impose a banning order on you.

"This order prohibits you from attending any matches, events, or entering the premises associated with the club with immediate effect.

"Your comments have caused significant disruption and created an environment that is not conducive to the values and reputation of the club.

"As such, you are hereby prohibited from entering the club's stadium, training facilities and any other properties associated with Yeovil Town.

"This ban will remain in place for a period of two years from the date of this letter.

"We ask that you consider this matter seriously. We trust you understand the severity of this issue and the necessity of maintaining a respectful environment at Yeovil Town."

The post publishing the letter on X sparked backlash towards the club from fans.

One fan offered criticism, saying: "Embarrassing behaviour from the club is that. What a weak spineless bunch to send a letter like that. They didn't even have the nerve to put a name on it!"

Another added: "Absolutely shambles of a way to run a football club. Embarrassing themselves."

And a third wrote: "Absolute ridiculous from a football club to do that.

"And as others have said, no name on it! What a cowardly thing to do."

SunSport has contacted Yeovil Town for comment.

I'd be interested in actually knowing what the fan said before judging. Some of the shit our fans come out with

Well this would apparently seem to be the reason why Ainsworth left Shrewsbury for Gillingham.

Lack of finances which could be leading to even worse outcome than just relegation.

Shrewsbury Town have been forced to look elsewhere for new investment following the collapse of a takeover deal from a potential American owner.

The existing deal on the table, to end long-serving chairman Roland Wycherley's 29-year ownership of the struggling League One club, had been under discussion since first being publicly announced in September.

Although the prospective new owner's application had not yet been submitted to the English Football League Owners and Directors 'fit and proper person' test, it had nearly reached completion following a six-month exclusivity period.

That period ends on Monday, 31 March, after which time Shrewsbury would be free to talk to any potential bidders.

One media report says it looks like the takeover has already collapsed as the interested party had decided the timing was not right due to a liquidity issue from another business. But, in reality, the proposed first-choice bidder wanted to spend the weekend ahead of Monday's deadline thinking it through.

Shrewsbury chairman Roland Wycherley was the driving force behind Shrewsbury Town's move from the Gay Meadow to their new 10,000-capacity Oteley Road home in 2007
Shrewsbury on the edge

This latest twist on Shrewsbury's uncertain future caps a bad week in a bad season for the Shropshire club.

Previous Town head coach Gareth Ainsworth, who knew that the proposed Town takeover was not guaranteed when he first took the job in November, left last Tuesday.

He was on contract until 2026 but a settlement fee was agreed between the two clubs for both him and his number two Richard Dobson to join Gillingham.

Little more than 24 hours later Michael Appleton was appointed as head coach until the end of the season but his first game ended in a 4-1 defeat by leaders Birmingham City on Saturday.

And Shrewsbury, 14 points adrift of safety with just eight games left, now face a further daunting test against another of Ainsworth's former clubs, third-placed Wycombe Wanderers, at Adams Park on Tuesday night.

If they lose that and again at home to Cambridge United next Saturday, that could conceivably be enough to relegate them with a month of the season left.
Wycherley's time as Town chairman

For a club of their comparatively limited resources, Shrewsbury have done well to enjoy a 10-year tenure of English football's third tier - and that has largely been down to the steady hand Wycherley has kept on the financial tiller.

After stepping up from his role as vice-chairman when previous Town chairman Ray Bailey stepped down in the summer of 1996, Wycherley suffered relegation to the fourth tier in his first season, then the even worse fate of relegation from the Football League in 2004.

But they were promoted back in a year later under then boss Jimmy Quinn - and Wycherley was also the driving force behind leaving their quirky but flood-ravaged old Gay Meadow home on the banks of the River Severn in 2007 to move to a new 10,000 all-seater stadium on the edge of town at Meole Brace - and a boom in average home attendances.

They won back their place in the third tier when they got promotion to League One under Micky Mellon in 2015 but for a side that only first entered the Football League in 1950, they are still judged by fans who hark back to the near decade they spent as a Second Division club (1979 to 1989), largely under Graham Turner and Chic Bates.

Gave us something to have on in the bar, obviously didn't put the sound on, gave the tourists something to look at which is great for us.

Akin to people slowing down on a motorway to have a gawp at a pile-up on the other side.

To be fair, I watched 50% of one match and it was relatively entertaining. Some of the football wasn't bad at times. (And you had the sound of luckily) There was someone called KSI commentating and I swear I've never heard anyone so irritating. I had to terminate it and put escape to the country on to retain some sanity.
