LEE Power is confident he can rebuild a team whatever league Swindon Town are in next season.

This week it became abundantly clear Massimo Luongo does not see himself being at the County Ground for 2015-16.

With contracts to key players Wes Foderingham and Andy Williams set to expire and the contingent of loanees set to return to parent clubs, a lot rides on promotion to the Championship in order to see those players in a Town shirt again come August.

The Robins now look set for the play-offs, which delays the chairman’s planning for next term further. However Power is safe in the knowledge that he has rebuilt Town’s squad before.

The chairman is adamant he could build with foundations certain to remain at the County Ground, regardless of what league Town are in next season.

“We’ve built a team before, we had one when I took over and we had to take off people who were on a lot of money” Power told BBC Wiltshire “We took the budget from £5.5 million to whatever we are now, £1.8 million,.

“If that happens, that happens and I’ll do it again. I’m confident between myself, Mark and the rest of the staff if we have to do that we will.

“We’re still going to have the crux of a good team, it’s not going to be complete surgery like we had at the start. It might be three or four, five or six players, but it might be that if we’re in the Championship as well.

“The play-offs have to delay working out the scenarios for next season unfortunately. The margins are so great financially between this league and the other.

“Also playing-wise, we’ve got a group of players, I don’t need to say who they are, we can all work it out ourselves, who we can keep and who we can’t keep.

“We’ll be where we are at the end of the season. It’s been a season of uncertainty of not knowing where we are and we’re going to do and it looks like it’s going to carry on right until the end.”
