Paolo Di Canio 25/1
I wonder if the great man is lying awake, unable to sleep and feeling drawn by the ley lines of Wiltshire and the mystical power of the Avebury stones. C'mon Lee it's a buyer's market as far as PDC is concerned. You know what you have to do. This post is sponsored by Smirnoff Vodka.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

If it's Evans I will be displeased. Part of me would chuffing love to have Paolo back again, albeit with a little more restricted budget. It's not going to happen though. He's the mad ex girlfriend of swindon Town and perhaps it's best he remains that.
What's Hoddle up to? He has a history of being able to help ruined young players so our current lot would be perfect for him.

Of the names in the top 5 of the betting market, Evans is the one I want. Been there and done it in league 2, it's what we need.

Please not Evans, and preferably not somebody like Drummy - an ex academy manager who has had one shot at management and failed, that is all.

I seem to remember a lot of people being angry with the reaction of the Di Canio appointment. I would be more than happy with Evans, after seeing us being so nice to play against, I'd quite like us to turn into a street-smart team for a couple years, would definitely increase our chances of getting out of League 2.

It's a case of horses for courses. It takes a certain kind of personality to manage a team out of the lower divisions. That kind of person may not have have what it takes for the top two divisions. Evans has proven experience in the lower two, no-one is asking him to become our all time favourite 'Mr Nice Guy'. Just get the job done!

I don't need to like the fella, no interest in being mates with a manager.
The fact is he has a proven track record in the lower leagues, that's all that matters to me.

Evans is signing players and seems to have been given what he wants at Mansfield, is he really a realistic option now?

I see he signed Zander Diamond yesterday and it did make me wonder if he won't be moving now. He will be on a fairly good wage for L2 I would imagine, looks like the chairman is giving him funds to tempt him to stay.

I think my semi-realistic preference is Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
Yesterday's news would make room for his usual staff of David Oldfield (assistant) and Chris Barnes (strength and conditioning) to link up while Dean Thornton, who would have been at QPR at the same time will stay (I doubt Gavin Ward will want to leave QPR for Swindon).
Hasselbaink needs a way back in to management after he was part of that sting earlier in the season.

Loved Hasselbaink as a player. Would be in favour.
Would also welcome any of Jackett, Adkins, Cotterill...
Think we'll still end up with someone relatively inexperienced like Drummy or Ramsey.
