Put your money on Hughton
I'd pretty much soil myself in sheer delight if that happened |

Well, for all the huffing and puffing on here, it would seem he is still with us, for one more game at least...

so what if people were right about wilson. i thought he had taken us as far as he ever would months ago,but he deserved time to get us going.
it hasn't worked out.
now the replacement is the big issue now as fitton has to act.
as i've already said earlier today i'd offer mad dog a short term deal.
if we were to wait until the summer then an able manager like gary johnson i'd be pleased with.i just dont think he'd offer anything different to get results fast.
gary neville too i'd think may struggle to get results fast,but i'm sure will make a fine manager when the time is right.

The problem with the idea of offering Manager XYZ a short-term deal to keep us up is that you also have to be prepared for them to then become your long-term manager if they succeed in doing so. I can (just) see the rationale for Allen being able to fire enough life into the players to keep us up short-term but simple inertia and "done a good job so far" says that if he did succeed, he'd likely remain in the job into next season. Which, as Cheltenham among others can tell you, is a less satisfying prospect.
If we are to appoint a new manager, we should appoint one we think can not just keep us up but rebuild us and enable us to progress next season and beyond. That applies to any potential "only for the short term" appointment btw, not just Allen

I know exactly where Arriba is coming from RE the replacement manager but I do think that Gary Johnson would offer us a new approach tactically now.
I also understand about Martin Allen coming in and changing things but there is obviously something about him that clubs don't like and Chairmen dont enjoy working with after his Leciester and Cheltenham debacle.
So if Danny is replaced I would like to see Gary Johnson come in and do the job but please not Martin Allen.

I like the assumption that Johnson would want to manage Swindon  |

If I start a "New Manager Out!" thread now, I'll get the drop on the rest of you and eventually be proved right. Then I can act all smug when the inevitable happens. |

I'd love us to get Gary Johnson.
Then we could sing:
" Oh Gary Johnson, used to manage Shitty but he's alright now!"

We could sing that about Wilson. DRS have you taken complete leave of your senses? |
