Whatever worries that people have would be the same when any prospective new owner turns up. I know it’s easy to take on board everything Clem says just because he’s not Power, but someone has to own the club and the reason anyone has for doing or so are exactly the same at almost every club.

Sometimes you just have to go with the flow.

Absolutely, and it'd be naive to expect any club to run for a non-financial reason. There are just different ways to get that end game, and having an owner that doesn't need the club to fund his day-to-day living expenses would be grand.

With a big caveat that, of course, you may choose to not believe him, he is quoted as saying he wants to buy the club because he's a huge football fan, has fallen for the town and the fans and will make money out of it by running it well and flogging when it becomes bigger than something he can take forward, i.e. if we're in the Championship.

He does not need our club to support his lifestyle, his day-to-day earnings, his business operations etc. He has a very very successful business to do that for him already.

Too good to be true? I'll leave that for individuals to judge. A better alternative to the current regime? Yes.

I don't 'choose' to not believe him. It's not as though I ticked a box just to be contrary or something. 

That may well change further down the line as more evidence presents itself but, at this moment in time, I'm not just taking his word on it.

Dear Santa,

Could I please have:
- An end to dodgy dealings at Swindon Town
- A set of owners who can take the club forward
- A playing budget used sensibly to finance a winning team
- A manager that knows how to build a team that can compete and within 2 years be candidates for promotion. If and when promoted, can the club be ready to invest further to make the team competitive in L1
- The foundations put in place to enable the club to grow and become successful
- A comms and engagement strategy that enables the club to thrive in the local community and keep old and new fans alike interested
- A pitch that is well kept, well drained and suitable for free flowing and attacking football.

If you could see your way to start delivering this asap I would be very grateful - I promise to be good in the mean time!

And the sad fact in all of this, is that our opinions on whether he is the new messiah or a very naughty boy matter not a jot in relation to whether he can buy our club or not. We are "Power-less". But not in a good way.

This is it, just about everything we know is what he has told us, much as with the suggestions that he does not need our club to support his lifestyle, his day-to-day earnings, his business operations etc. He has a very very successful business to do that for him already.

I hope and pray that he is as honourable and community focused as he says he is, and I fear he is the unwilling victims of who has preceded him (including way before Power) but until he a) puts his money where his mouth is and b) delivers upon his promises he will be viewed with a degree of scepticism, 100x's bitten and all that!

As I said before, these worries would be the same about any new owner. If we wait for some white knight to come along we won’t have a club at all.

Why don’t people believe there is more behind this than just Clem?
Equally as you point out we have to move on from this shit show of an owner who has been exposed, we are deep in the shit and if we don’t change we are finished.

I agree, its seems pretty obvious that Clem cannot fund this without extra backers.

He is wealthy but not significantly wealthy, not enough to fund a football club on his own I wouldn't think.
