Nobody will come out of this club squeaky clean even more so the funding.

Not asking for clarity, but I hope that means historic, but I suspect the first bit means current too.

eek.

I think most of the fan base need to adopt a new fan attitude to complement the new ownership. As someone else rightly said many of the fans demanding a bigger playing budget/lower prices  lose their shit because the club is trying to maximise its income from its only customers - the fans.

If Clem is to be believed (and I believe him) STFC is being run as a not for profit organisation. Otherwise known as a charity.
That's the mindset the fans need to adopt for now IMO.

Unfortunately that could well be true. Could easily argue even now the source of funding to the club hasn’t really changed from the days of Power, just the front man.  Will be interesting how much detail comes out in the court case with regards to some of non-execs and lurkers in the background.

Talking of which, did Zav's application for "board membership" (director?) get rejected by the EFL, or is it ongoing?

Its all gone very quiet on that. Obviusly he's still involved and around.

STFC seems to have had more twists and turns than Silverstone.

Suggest we were all aware Di Canio's would end in tears and his reign was a train crash waiting to happen. Surely no one could have thought it would take this long and could be as big as it appears.

Really hope that this wheeling and dealing including double dealing is coming to an end and some stable times are coming in the future.

He’s very much still involved, last thing I heard he was in Karachi earlier in the month meeting some politicians to support football over there, they referred to him as Swindon Town vice chairman.

My reasoning in bringing up the Di Canio period was surely if Town had gotten a more conventional manager during this period possibly just possibly Black would not have thrown his toys out the pram and open the club up to Jed and his peers and then chancer Power could have been owning Rochdale or better still the Pox.

Such a shame really. COYMRs

I was under the impression that Clem Morfuni and Austin were the guys who made the FA aware of what was going on once they realised

Exactly what I understood, hopefully the FA / FL (eventually) will be lenient on the club when the time comes for this and many other reasons.

The next exciting instalment is January with the Able court case, hopefully having to explain their potentially interesting ownership and why they are using different vehicles to put in their non refundable deposit

I see the club have asked the supporters club for 'volunteer stewards' for upcoming games. Bit of a liberty when we were sold increased stewarding costs as a reason for increased Man City tickets  Hmmm

I'm considering asking for a refund now. The customer service is absolutely shocking and is winding me up big time lately.
I ordered the 3rd kit for my son within seconds it went on sale and they still haven't despatched it. Obliviously I want it for Christmas for him, but I'm expecting another fuck up like last year when I didn't receive any till late January despite ordering again within seconds it went on sale (August last year). Surely you work through who orders it first.
If I don't hear nothing by Monday, I will pressure for it.
So pissed off to keep giving them my money with shit service.

Still no shirt or communication. I just bet they kept selling the shirts before fulling orders first, now sold out online  
and to also make worse Christmas, the boy and the wife had covid. (both fine, thankfully)
But the lack of communication and honestly does fuck me off, just reply.   Suicide
