Matchday with no buzz. On the pitch is secondary right now. You've brought our proud club to its knees.
A wolf in sheep's clothing. No better than Power, arguably worse.
Clem Morfuni, It’s time to go.

3 years into the Morfuni Masterclass and we have the worst Swindon Town side in history.

Axis Services Group Ltd (Morfunis UK company) wound up following a petition from a creditor, Grant & Stone Limited, on 5th Feb due to unpaid debts.
He is of course no longer a director, having resigned last year.
Admin error no doubt
If Axis controlled

were a Dog, you'd put it down and put everyone out of their misery. Watching the slow, painful, death by a thousand cuts of something you love.
So here we are, looking nervously over our shoulder hoping Salford, Grimsby, Col U, FGR & Sutton dont find form and drag us into a relegation scrap.

No slight on STFCinOz as messenger here, this is aimed at CM.
The fact a fan group account is being used as a communication method when there are official channels is bizarre and highlights what an amateur the man is.
More waffle and promising change incoming

regarding Karachi FC, when challenged the club said it is a real club and if you Google them you can see it. I cannot find any trace of a club of this name.

what's the plan?
Closed shop with no comms to anyone but existing members.
What are you working on?
From the outside the assumption is you are sitting on your hands... you can put the record straight by talking, and fast
#STFC
#stfc
can't compete with Harrogate, Morecambe, Accrington Stanley and Newport. None of these clubs are spending big money so the sustainability argument is more hot air from the ownership.
Soul destroying, if this was Power there would be uproar. Apathy
Clubs parent company accounts are 4 months overdue and they have the audacity to talk about Governance 😂
#stfc
@TrustSTFC
is this one in your remit or you won't comment on this either like other Axis companies?
Midway up the DRS and there's a leak in the roof that's dripping next to my head. It's a good job I have a positive mindset and we're no longer run poorly like that last 30yrs

@Official_STFC
4x STHs, Swindon based... not bothering. Painful, unenjoyable, soulless experience. Never felt so disengaged with our club. Sad state of affairs
@stfcquestions
Appreciate the awareness you have raised so far, in the face of abuse and threats. Whatever happens, convinced we will be on the right side of history for trying to raise the alarm🤝. The same can't be said for others sadly.
Morfuni played nice to get the ground, now the mask has well and truly slipped. There's a story developing here involving serious criminals. SOS call to shine a light please
#stfc
As bad as this regime are, can't help but feel the enabling bootlickers letting them do this are the lowest of all.
Gut feel of people who are supposed to act in the interest of the fanbase just abusing a position of power for ego and personal gain.

for anyone who read the fair game report from the club, just wanted to share with you one of the fair game (possibly only) employee. James Spencer, former STFC Trust Board member. Doesn’t smell 🐟y at all 🤦♂️

Nothing explosive in the accounts. Generally worse performance than the year before, kind of ties in with the direction of the club under CM.
Season 1- Decent
Season 2- Poor
Season 3- Unacceptable

Not a good look.
For those saying there is a delay, please see Seebeck 87 which was also due yesterday- dormant accounts were submitted and are visible on CH right now.
#STFC
🧵 Interesting observing the reaction to the Morfuni Media roadshow yesterday. His defenders have gone from having anything tangible to show what a great 'owner' he is to 'hes a good guy who has made mistakes'.The facts are that following the really well assembled team (1/7)

need to get these elections sorted and restore some credibility by organising the fanbase. Morfuni et al need starving out this summer. The ridiculous asking price would soon drop with a campaign to force them out. National League 25/26 otherwise. Time to act.

STFC - Please don’t go gentle into that good night
This long(ish) approx 20+ post 🧵 is a follow-up to my February post where I looked at L2 trends to see if there was a ‘typical relegation profile’ of a type of club that gets relegated from L2. STFC hit the profile 🎯 1/
Morecambe FC accounts 2022/23. If a club with the limited resources of Morecambe can publish full explanation of finances why can’t other L1/2 be equally transparent? Treating fans as stakeholders instead of suspicion is good for all. Well done to MFC 👊
Lie after lie after lie continue to build up.

Not expecting anything decent to come from today, will be the 5th straight window we finish with a weaker squad than the we started with
Supporting STFC ≠ Backing everything the owner does.
Wake up Town fans

🎯 its all the fans fault, how dare we want our club to be competitive in Div4. We should be grateful and continue to clap frantically with smiles on our faces at the horse shit we're being served up.
@Big_Loose_Goose
Equally there seem to be a happy collective that can’t wait to have a dig at fans, who are just voicing their opinions and discontent at being 85th of the 92 professional teams in English football 🤷♂️

S3- rather stick pins in my eyes than travel.

@sharpbe01
Thanks Sharpey. Hope the stand up is going well, you'll have plenty of free Saturdays to perfect it soon if everyone keeps burying their heads in the sand.
@BatchStfc
Feels like they were forced to do something positive or risk a sharp drop in ST renewals. Doesn't make up for the incompetence behind the scenes and the fact we've had literal children making up our squad for 60% of the season. Still lacking experience and physicality I fear.
@MatB_STFC69

Squids tend to be damp, Jason.
It is very possible to support the lads on the pitch, whilst highlighting the shambles behind the scenes.
We want our club to be the best it can be, on and off the pitch.

Likely Gristwood as the heavy. He was shouting out 'Zav is a great guy' from the back of the fans forum 😭
My 2p worth- this sort of protest won't do anything, they don't really care what a few fans think. Better embarrassing them on the TV with Tennis balls or similar.
#STFC
#STFC
please read as much of the convo that I have in my memory bank:
I was talking to the Police Liaison, noticed that Caroline Lane was talking to Zav Austin, pointing at me and Zav walked up with his heavy. He asked “why I’m organising a protest”.
Poor Evans, played for the Youth team this morning now on the bench for the first team and could potentially have to play two games in a few hours.
This is not how a professional football club operates.

Good Morning.
Heads up the Linktree needs an update... Accrington and Doncaster passed with 0 points and I'm not sure STs are still on sale for the 23/24 season (the worst in our history)?
Happy to help.
Wishing you a wonderful day ahead.

#AskKieran
Hi Kieran,
We hear there is interest in buying
#STFC
but the price is too high. Would a large drop in revenue force the issue and lower the asking price in your opinion, or too risky?
Feels like we have nothing to lose as we head towards NL oblivion under CM.
Thanks
No regrets.
Observations from 1/2 match experience:
-Majority of shop shutters down, akin to a closing down sale.
-Hostile ticket checks remain
-Leaky roof goes unchecked, could do with waders or a mop in DRS
-Seen better atmospheres at funerals
#STFC
If you look at the dates you can see a backdated resignation, to try and wash his hands of any involvement.
Same day he was ranting at the
#stfc
fans forum in fact.
@STFCMD
This is the second mention I've seen on here, can't substantiate.
1 mention offline that its coming, nothing concrete but no reason for the person to make it up.... guess we shall see when payday comes around if the wages get paid.
@max_springer2
Australia, that dictatorship where money cant be freely moved for legitimate purposes. Silly us not wanting the best for our club by literally pumping money into it and waiving refunds. Thanks Gavin
@pieman80
I think we'll be okay this year too.. unless Morfuni doesn't pay the wages or puts us into Admin and we get a deduction.
Next year with Gunning at the wheel is terrifying 💀
As part of making the County Ground as inclusive and accessible as possible,

It's the little things like this that are the tell tale signs of an underfunded operation. And we're expected to believe redevelopment is close.. prove us wrong Morfuni.

Cynical view is that you could paint an entirely different picture from the actual reality by showing selective data points.
A far cry from the openness and transparency previously talked about 😔

In theory it can work, if you are supporting them with experienced EFL pros playing alongside them. There are no shortcuts, you get what you pay for at the end of the day.

Do not fear- fairgame are going to come in at an unspecified time and verify everything looks correct. Nothing to see here, we should be grateful to HRH Clemente for 'saving the club'

Interesting interview, especially the part about a change of direction in how the club operates after season 1. No coincidence we continue to get worse YoY since this change. Potentially a power struggle behind the scenes?

Looks like they have abbreviated Swinton Reds 20 Limited to 'SR20 Ltd' which happens to be someone called Rajendra Sapkota from Farnborough's company.

@RedsssSeaside
The stars aligned perfectly for Morfuni... post covid bounce, supporters trust backing him and he was afforded the benefit of doubt by 90% for too long.
As a fanbase we need to learn to always keep owners at arms length... theirs motives are never pure (Brighton/Brentford aside)
So whilst on the pitch might be a case of seeing if were just shit or record breakingly shit, it's an important period coming up off it in the boardroom. Will the accounts be filed on time, and what will they show..or will they go overdue like Axis Football Investments Ltd?
#STFC
Bigger crowds for youth games than teams were now unable to compete with financially in league 2, despite 9k at top dollar every week.
We're being taken for a ride.
Wake the **** up Town fans, or we won't have a professional club for much longer.
#STFC
So we're told it is now a project the club are involved with, but not officially and no funding is used.
Zav Austin who is purely a friend of the owner is funding this at no cost to the club. 🤔
It's as clear as mud.
