Your right we can't know whether it would have been bettter,worse or the same if Flipflop hadn't flippedoff.Which means we can only judge the results on PB's time in charge,which as been relegation fodder. It must have our chairman creaming his pants, he loves a good relegation. Remind me again how long has he been at the club and where are we with regards to the 5 year plan?
Remind me again how long has he been at the club and where are we with regards to the 5 year plan?Based on the fact we have not had a specific one to one conversation, I cannot remind you. Maybe you should be venting your spleen to the grand fromage himself, rather than a fellow supporter with 45 years of suffering at the same club under his belt.
You have to distance yourself from the Power spin in as much as his five year plan is to make as much money as he can from our club. Then the next five years a repeat of the previous five etc, etc. If it looks like a barra boy, sands like a barra boy, acts like a barra boy then what conclusions can you draw?
Here is a clue to the next five years, look back at the last five. To put that into a greater historical light when I started to follow Swindon we were in the third division. Dave Mackay had dismantled the league cup team, the club were in debt, sold back the ground to the council, eventually sold off the Shrivenham Road training ground. 45 years later, where are we? Yes, that’s right pretty much where I started. Third spell in division four a fleeting spell in division two and a blink of an eye in division one.
Which brings me into the fag end of this season and the hope springs eternal thoughts for next season. Back in August most on here thought Flipflop was a decent appointment. On a way form we should have been promoted befor Easter, sadly at home we should have been relegated before Easter. The mean average is mid table mediocrity which is where we will sort of finish.
The one decent thing to come from Flipflop going is that Matt Taylor did not start any fledgling managers career on the back of being slaughtered every week till May. I doubt any manager at our level would have gotten us over the line into the P.O. Even so could you realistically seen us going to Wembley? I couldn’t let alone win promotion.
I realise your reply contains an element of sarcasm and I clearly understand that, you just have to hope like all of us that between now and August Power gets it right. It is his money after all, though it is our club, it will still be after he has gone. If you don’t like it don’t go, simple really as previously stated we gave up out three ST after PNE. Nothing I have seen since would make me do it again (we don’t have the time at the present to follow home and away sadly, given time we will but not near term) which is sad. It would be excruciating to be away from SN1 while we are on a decent roll, but we’re not.
So I still believe and listening to Brown after today that he is the person to do a job as there are clearly many underlying issues at the club, which brings my last word tonight. Flipflop knew he fucked up, big style. I bet he couldn’t thank enough deities in the heavens for his good fortune to fuck off up north. Fire frying pan springs to mind, he left a rudderless ship heading for the sirens and the jagged rocks, so if captain Flipflop didn’t think we were going up what chance Brown or Taylor or any out of contract manager?
Enjoy your weekend, it’s only football.
