“Considering how affluent business is in Swindon it never ceases to amaze me that we have never managed to find owners with a pot to piss in.”
Might have something to do with the scruples and modus operandi of the owners. Look at the motley crew we have had since Diamandis. Look who they’ve sold out to or been taken over by. I think with the exception of Sir Seton Wills (recently) everyone has seen the club as a cash cow to make money out of without actually investing anything in that was sustainable or for the long term betterment of the clubs facilities, club and supporters.
What right minded business would get into bed with Jed/Power/Clem? I wouldn't touch the club whilst it has the personalities in the wings that it does. Unnecessary risk of reputational damage. |

Yeah I''ll be honest, even if I won the Euro Millions tomorrow I'd have zero interest getting involved without a total clear out.

Yeah, I couldn't imagine anyone doing a Clem and just chucking a million or so into the club with no say on what it’s used for.

An early indicator that we were not dealing with a sharp operator. #RealDeal |

Power was either a very good salesman or his hangers on were in the room with sufficient weaponry.

Do you think that the £1m for 15% of Powers shares went to the club? |

Why would it, Power owned those shares, it would be up to him what he did with the cash when he flogged them off. |

Morfuni added: “There won’t be any smoke and mirrors. Going into this with supporters means absolute transparency and I am fully committed to that. “Regardless of what people say about Lee, I believe he genuinely wants the club to move forward. “But if you don’t engage with supporters, you don’t get interest in the club and people into your ground. “That’s where I come in. Despite the distance, I’m always there to chat to supporters over the phone. “You can ask me anything and I’ll do my best to help, I want the feedback, I want to know what people think.” Do you still want to know what people think Clem? |

And that IIRC was the thorny issue in not giving Clem a Bone Fide share certificate because it impacted on Pee Lowers tax liability. |
