Is there a shred of truth that MK still owe us something from the Twine sell on?

If Clem and team actually had any intention of doing anything substantial, they'd already have worked a deal for Kemp in August, at worst, they'd have sewn it up in the last few weeks. The fact we took him and Young on loan said it all about our recruitment budget, and that we left a loan spot on the table.

Young I can sort of understand. Probably going to be understudy to Johnson/Umerah/some other striker - which we didn’t sign. He’d not done much elsewhere.
Kemp should have been tied up on a perm. Would have cost relative peanuts compared to his worth now. Mind you, even in that scenario he’d probably be flogged in January!

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate. We may have done a deal on Kemp. It is possible, albeit unlikely, and it gets announced Jan 1st. Would buy Clem some breathing space before the firesale!

Imagine if we signed him Jan 1st and the sold him on the final day (Can that even be done these days?) |

If the owed Twine money is true, I can quite believe it. No cost option. A good one at that. However if I were MK and had made the decision to not bring him back I'd be touting him out and seeing what comes back. He may love it here, but a pay rise and a bump up a league would be very tempting to him. |

I'd hope you would know by now that my hopes are firmly not up when it comes to Clem Morfuni's Swindon Town. |

I used to have a similar outlook, but worry not there is hope for you yet.  |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Is 2023 tracking to be STFC's worst ever calendar year in terms of worst results at the lowest level? Have we ever had a worse year in the 4th tier...?

The credit ahead agreement we got in the summer showed at that point future funds were owed for the Twine deal/sell-on. That point may have since past though. |

In fact, it's very likely we already pulled in any future fees through that factoring deal, otherwise, why do it? |
