Oooh, some potentially exciting news.
I guess having an Australian International here creates some interest and buzz 'down under'

It's great to see Lee Power now getting a lot of credit - whether this investment comes off or not - it was only a few months ago when he was portrayed as the big bad bogeyman by several posters on here!

Very true. I, like Batch and others, am quite bouyed by this news but do wonder what they will want from the club in return, there is a lot of money down under and its a good market to tap into, maybe one of the owners of a club has some spare funds to put in and tie in a deal as an affiliate club with both clubs benefiting from exchange of talent etc. I know...slightly wishful thinking but I always keep my fingers crossed for extra funding at our club to improve the playing staff/ground etc but without the violent excesses of the mad Italian, which Power would never go for anyway.

Power has generally always said that 'the football club is the priority'. So he won't put the club itself at risk which is a positive.
Or, to be more accurate, he says he won't. I don't think he will either, but past history at this club shows there's a risk in taking what people say they'll do as gospel about what they actually do.

Don't drop your guard. Let's wait to hear more about this new investment.

Yes, but you can get a variety of effective creams for that if it becomes a problem

+1. Pleased and if it comes off positively for the club then Power deserves all the credit in the world, but I'll wait and see how it pans out before getting the garlands out, thanks

Sounds exciting, but I remain sceptical really. Best way to be when it comes to STFC!

Good point. But so far Power hasn't done anything like that. All the bad stuff that's come about while he's been here was the doing of Jed.

Guarded caution always the best approach with STFC matters.
I really like and admire what Power has done so far at the club, without this investment, he's taken us further than anyone imagined, so what he could do with a bit of cash behind him is potentially very exciting indeed.
But, initially, he thought Jed was a man to be trusted, so his judgement with people isn't always spot on.

He's battling a chequered history. Brady seemed good until it became apparent donnegan and blatchley were likely spending the creditors money on champagne and helicopter rides. Sir seaton seemed like the ideal backer until it became apparent that fat controller was taking the piss. Jed seemed good until it became apparent he was full of shit and a blagger. Even the best intentioned ownership of Fitton and co ended in tears and black stitched us up with his exit strategy. It's stuff like that that makes the old farts like me nervous. Power has seemed to be a brilliant breath of fresh air that has turned the club into a sustainable competitive entity. But...

You honestly thought Jed was anything but a bullshitter on a big day out?
