That's more concerning. I suspect however his time is up as he surely can't carry on given how unpopular he is? Although I suspect he doesn't really give a shit what people think of him.
Popular or otherwise, the FA may well have the final say on whether Power carries on here or indeed anywhere in English football. |

Let’s be fair, if power has anything perceived or otherwise to do with Swindon Town Football Club, who in their right mind is going to spend one single penny there? Seeing as L1 & L2 clubs gain the majority of their income through the turnstiles I’d say Power would be royally fucked.

No way I believe this has anything to do with Power. He has no care about the club at all and before appointing someone would at least give us season ticket prices

I agree. If Power couldn’t be arsed to bin off Sheridan I can’t see him appointing anyone.
His time is up.

The fact the Trust have just tweeted asking who’s talking to Fowler suggests it’s probably not Clem, which is worrying.

Tbf, just because the Trust are backing Clem it shouldn’t mean he informs them of everything - especially something sensitive.
When Power’s stated aim is to put the club in admin I doubt that would attract many would-be managers.

Echoing statements from others but Power appointing a new manager is a concern.
Fowler is a name for sure, but he has never struck me as the managerial type in any of the punditry he did, and for him to have to go where he has to get a break also raises questions for me. Still, guess it would depend on any number 2 he brought with him, presumably to sort the defence.
Given we all believed the Evans rumour was crap and for Evans to get more money at Gillingham then i'm not sure we necessarily have to believe this. There is probably another angle at play, perhaps Fowler just wants a return to England and this is signalling his availability to others.
His number 2 has been one Tony Grant. |

Movement on manager suggests something is happening behind the scenes.
Not necessarily from what I have heard. |

Robbie Fowler could double up as groundsman, ensuring that the white lines are nice and straight.
A good socialist by all accounts, but more importantly would Fowlerball win matches in L2.
A "name" as a manager would presumably help any new owner with getting the fans on board at some clubs.
Bit more of a challenge here I suspect.
Wonder how long Ian Wright would have lasted on the roller coaster.

But putting the club into admin is not his stated aim - the stated aim is to sell the club. Putting the club into admin is secondary. |

His preferred method of divesting himself of the club is via the admin route.

Then why is he in court trying to get an injunction lifted so he can sell the club? He's been trying to sell it for months. Or so he tells us (making it his stated aim) |

Doesn't the injunction also prevent him putting the club into admin, or did I imagine that? |
