  SWINDON Town was to become a feeder club for Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur when Lee Power took over as director of football, a High Court judge heard yesterday.

Let's remember the source of this information. Not exactly reliable, is it?

I'm not sure I'd have been *that* bothered. We bring in shit loads of loans anyway and as long as that's all it would have been, then I don't see that big of deal.

Major identity changes and that's a different matter.

Either way, the arrangement would have been vetoed by the Football League eventually.

I wouldn't be so sure of that

Interesting that the Advertiser chose to lead with this rather than Jed's match fixing allegations?

The last sentence suggests that the hearing continues, is that today or just the fact that no decision was made and won't be made till next week?

This arrangement to be a spurs feeder club was blatantly obvious from the outset.
It stank then and still does now.
A pair of cunts fighting over stfc. Both wankers as far as I'm concerned.

Only one has supposedly put in 2 million quid to save the club so for me Power has to have some respect for this.

I've heard the Swindon/Spurs relationship disdained in a few national debates regarding B teams. Plus it sounds like we're sounding out a similar relationship with a new club anyway, so this strategy might not be done yet.

I think it will be vetoed with the key word being, 'eventually'.

I'd love to know how/how much cash Jed is alleged to have stolen. Obviously since it's going legal the adver can't report much.

I have a vague memory not so long ago there was some mention of the (recovery of ) the concert money but I may have that totally wrong.

I'm not very knowledgeable about the law, but if jed has accused Power of match fixing, could that lead to a libel case? Or is a courtroom like parliament,  where they can say what they like without any recourse?

Match fixing and stealing money from the club? Those are indeed some pretty libelous accusations if not true.

Do we have any notion of which matches Power was supposed to have fixed?

Both wankers, but one considerably more of one than the other!
