Bob,
Seriously i am trying to side with you here, however you seem to not want to understand.
In simple terms
The club currently seems to be taken on the road to nowhere. Running at a loss where the owner(s)  it's claimed are taking more money from the club via administrative fees than it can afford. These payments are being paid for by loans to the club that one day will need to be paid back.
End result will be financial ruin and insolvency.
Perhaps the club is already at this stage.
Surely you can see how far Swindon has fallen and needs to move these current owners on and just possibly we will find a buyer that will be half decent ?
But first Morfuni needs to move on.

I was ahead of my time 😀

Clem's biggest fan, and everyone's second favourite Hall has spoken (on Twitter)

Australian ones are OK Batch  Wink

I'm genuinely baffled by it. Could understand it if he'd put a load of football people in place and got unlucky.

Ollie and Bignot look a good bet at the moment, and I consider the Flynn appointment sane, but otherwise we were looking like Carlisle but without the cash to invest like they have and without a clue in the boardroom.

Its fair to say Crawley (who I think got lucky) and Carlisle (looking grim but you not down yet) are not shining examples of American ownership. I get that aspect.

We also seem to be losing more money than Power managed.

Thing is I don’t want an anonymous American consortium owning my club. American’s are fruit loops and don’t understand football - look at Carlisle.
You realise a quarter the club is owned by anonymous owners already right?! We’ve never heard a peep from Kiely and if you genuinely think Morfuni has put in all the money he claims from his own pocket then you are very naive.

Literally every reason you ever list for not wanting a change are actually where we find ourselves currently and why we need change.

Your head is almost as stuck in the sand as Steve Hall’s is stuck up Morfuni’s backside.

So he can like and retweet his own stuff

I presume he’s the guy that runs that awful STFC Aussie fan club account

I'll see your Carlisle and raise you Wrexham and Walsall.

Completely understand there is no guarantee we'd become Walsall, or Carlisle but are you happy with what we currently have?

Wrexham are quite a lot of things, but I think "anonymous" is pushing it!

Sorry, very poor example. Replace with Crawley then! Smiley (not sure I'd fancy that either, although they appear to be doing OK ish - possibly more luck than judgement though?

You can use Carlisle as a bad example if you wish, but I certainly wouldn't mind if we were investing heavily to try and get out of the trouble we're in.

Everyone entitled to their own opinion but I disagree very much with this. Yes there’s examples of ownership groups from America who have done poorly but to say they’re fruit loops who don’t understand football is well wide of the mark. There’s a lot of very capable and ambitious groups coming out of North America.

Some very well run MLS clubs too.

Also Carlisle have invested heavily in the infrastructure like training ground, fitness facilities and looking at updating the ground for the future too.

Does anyone honestly think that Clem will add to the budget and sign enough players that Ollie wants to improve us as Carlisle have done?

Of course he wont and he doesnt have anything like the resources neccessary to do that anyway without outside investment which he strenuously denies will ever happen despite it previously happening and him saying it was just an admin error.

Off the pitch i'd a million % rather be Carlisle with their owners. They've just gotten it horribly wrong on the pitch.

We got lucky that Holloway is massively pulling out of the shit after Clem/Zav/Hart or whoever actually appoints the managers fucked it up with Kennedy.

I firmly believe we'd be below Carlisle now if we stuck with Kennedy or made a similar appointment.
