Think people have misunderstood my post. What I was trying to say but not very well so I'll say it easier to understand is that he absolutely understands what the club means to fans and what we are feeling but he he just doesn't give a fuck anymore

So, what's in it for him? Surely a failing club is not a positive?

If it’s not actually his money supposedly propping the club up why would he care? If the people whose money it is are almost certainly extracting their profits from God knows what means and will continue to do so until the cupboard is bare. It’s why they dont want the club sold. That and the skeletons that would fall from the cupboard.

It’s the Power Syndrome all over again. A failing club is still worth more to them then just getting their money back via a club sale.

I take it a club sale would mean due diligence on the clubs finances and they would not want a legit businessman or consortium to see what’s been going on financially.

The only sale would likely be to another person in the loop or someone just as dodgy.

Looks like we are fucked either way,so let’s protest and take our chances!

Fuck these clowns!!

Word on the street is, all other shareholders want out but Clem is refusing to entertain offers and sell.

If Clem understood and gave a shit, he would have done something about it years ago but alas, here we are.

So if you’re such good mates with him - tell him, on behalf of all Swindon fans, to fuck off with his crooked mates and “Tailbetweenlegs”.

Ive always wondered why Zav Austin grassed up Power.

Did he find out Power was getting more a slice of the pie than he was supposed to?

I find it hard to believe any morals at play tbh

Just a theory but I’ve always had the working assumption that if there was one undocumented shareholder, how many others were there? Was Zav one of them and in his interest not to be screwed by Power, he played the game with Clem on the proviso his off the record shareholdings carried?

Depends what you class as failing doesn't it. For us we are failing but if others are earning a living from this still somehow through ways of contracts for services elsewhere, who knows. None of us know that's the problem

OK you are being a bit thick here now. I didn't say he gives a shit i clearly stated he understands how fans feel about the club and what it means but does not give a fuck. I am agreeing with you. I have openly stated numerous times i was one who was duped by it all and thought he had good intentions but he hasn't clearly and i have openly called them out on it. Try reading the posts properly and don't let a bit of back patting on a podcast go to your head and become a bit of an arrogant cunt.

  - Genuinely have no idea what you’re referring to. Clearly a nerve has been touched to go personal even if it makes no sense.

You’ve misread what I said.. If Clem understood, like ever really really understood what the club meant to fans, he wouldn’t have let it happen.

Line in the sand, let’s move on.

In my experience of 'boardroom execs who basically steal a massively inflated wage' it's probably something like he was being 'done out' of 5% of the money power was skimming off player sales, or he didn't get a Christmas card, or he got a Tesco sandwich instead of an M&S one or something.

For selfish bastards it doesn't take much.

A totally unrelated statement and not pertaining to anyone connected at the club but apparently, for coked up selfish bastards, it takes even less. It also has the high impact of giving people both an air of self-importance and a total lack of empathy/feelings towards others  Hmmm
