The question at the heart of this case is pretty simple: who owns Swindon Town? Two years ago, football agent Michael Standing and Australian construction mogul Clem Morfuni each obtained court orders preventing Lee Power from selling shares in the club. Why? Because they claimed they owned a stake in the club. Morfuni said he’d paid £1.1m for a 15 per cent stake in Town in 2018. That matter was later settled – so he
does now own his 15 per cent stake. Mr Standing said he went in 50-50 with Lee Power, although his involvement was hidden at the time. Mr Power, by contrast, says that Mr Standing was acting on behalf of Premier League player Gareth Barry.
