I know Power was a cunt but at least he didn’t shy away from media interviews often pre-match with Hodgetts or on a live BBC Wits phone in on Friday night. I guess it’s a lesser of two evils you decide😁

I will have to ask Steve Anderson to get back to you on that.

Morfuni has gaslighted me, with his sheer incompetence, into thinking Lee Power's tenure at Swindon wasn't actually that bad.
How mental is that.

Not sure if this goes here, but the ITK Twitter account that leaked the news about Smith and his ACL going has been deleted. Sounds like he got a bit too ITK.

Hand slapped employee? Or friend of a player. Or ?
To have that information he must know someone in the dressing room, or be around it.

Let's consider a hypothetical, if Clem agrees to fork out for a Smith replacement if necessary, presumably the price will go up with the seriousness of the injury. That would be consistent with the Holloway post-match interview, where he wouldn't comment on the nature of the injury. Obviously, a medical diagnosis will take a day or days to establish, but at the same time the physios should be able to make an informed guess as to the type and seriousness of the injury. While the ITK Twitter account tweet was probably speculation presented as fact, it is apparent that Smith will be out for weeks or months, with the Town obviously not having a direct replacement. So, I don't think ITK were ITK, but you don't have to be to assess the situation. If the club are vague in the coming days regarding Harry's condition, I would expect more transfer activity before the window closes. If not, is it a matter of 4:3:3, through balls, and minimal hoofball? On a wider issue, investment in the transfer market may mean that there is some thought being paid to selling the club, as league position thus home gates would have greater consequences. It would be great to be truly ITK.

Or someone who got a bit carried away but was subtle enough to know that as only a few people knew they would be unmasked sharpish so get the evidence removed.

tbh looking at it again when I got last night I thought it looked like a cruciate injury. I don't think it takes any real insider knowledge to say it's suspected.

It would certainly be reasonable to hazard a guess that Smith’s injury is serious even if it is not ACL-related just from his reaction and the expressions he was making he was obviously in horrific pain. In relation to this ITK account, I think it was not only them saying it’s ACL but adding in details about Smith in the dressing room which may be construed as unsavoury and/or unwarranted

This club belongs at a higher level, and we’ll do everything within the rules to get there.
Bit disrespectful to all the other teams and arrogant. It's so unfair on the Barnets of this world. Clem wants promotion.

Of course. Lets be honest the outcry would be massive if he didn't.

He might want promotion but he's not exactly putting his money where his mouth is, despite what Holloway tells us. A mid-table budget will likely yield a mid-table finish.
