It the lack of a nod and a wink to the press from someone "close to the source" that has me a doubting batch.
That the club could take ages to confirm there is no doubt.

So nobody can tell for sure if Flynn is still the manager or not.
Surely there is training today ?

If he had been sacked, surely it would have been announced straight away, there is no point in holding back the announcement. |

I did like Flynn and he initially showed us what exciting football could be played. If only he had a CB we would have been OK. He could have mixed and matched other positions and Town would still be in a play off position.
Trouble was he didn't

Probably sorting legalities out before announcment if true |

My frustration with Flynn is that he failed deliver what i think most of us expected prior to his arrival. There was some sense of appointing a practical league 2 manager, who knew what the division was about and understood the importance of physicality and experience. Yet he failed to recruit along this lines at all, and failed to set a team up understanding what needed to be done.

Stupid timing if true - second January transfer window in a row. Don't you change managers before a transfer window? |

Not sure it does. Flynns appointment was the perfect timing for recruitment over the summer and that didnt go that well. Also depends how much you believe Flynn has to do with the recruitment. |

Sacking your manager exactly halfway through January is peak Swindon isn't it, and really continues to show up the frankly shambolic way the club is being run, by people who haven't got a clue what they are doing. Since Garner and Chorley left, there has been absolutely nothing to suggest any thought has been made towards putting a cohesive plan together.
Scott Lindsey - cheap and pretty unpopular. The tide was turning before he left to go to Crawley. (where he is doing a good job to be fair to him) We got compo for him if nothing else.
Jody Morris - these type of appointments have gleaned gold for Swindon in the past. A very decent career at the top of the English game and seemingly a good upbringing in coaching at Chelsea. The whole Morris/Sandro/Brand experiment never worked either and that was ripped up.
Michael Flynn - Spoke a good game on the CG pitch, in fact made a good start with what looked an exciting, dynamic team and we very much looked like we'd be featuring towards the top end of the table. Alas he was given a new deal by the powers that be, and that was pretty much game over. Injuries and a feebly built squad of players that were shaped around 2 loan players that we developed tremendously for Bradford and Franchise and relied too much from our Academy. Form dipped, Flynn got antsy with the press and seemed to turn into John Sheridan as time passed.
Whoever comes in next, I don't envy them. We need more football people in the club, that have a proper plan in place. Changing the manager only is not going to be enough, whoever it is.

Assuming he's gone, I don't see this job as a very attractive prospect for many managers. We have a paper thin squad and a board unwilling to back the manager in the transfer market.
People talking about Michael Duff are crazy - he's not long left Swansea and this would be a huge drop in standard compared to that.
It will be an out of work manager or an internal appointment.
