Title: Smith & Heywood to Shity
Post by: Dazzza on Saturday, April 16, 2005, 15:43:31
From the WDP:

Quote
Bristol City have also been linked with a move for Swindon's out-of-contract defender Matt Heywood, and manager Brian Tinnion refused to rule out a move for the duo.

"I won't be discussing any players I am going to try and get in the summer until I have actually signed them, " said Tinnion.

"I don't want to alert other people, I just want to get things done before anyone else knows.

"I have a list of players I am interested in but I will keep it to myself for now.

"Grant Smith is also one who is out of contract and if he is one (on the list) we will let you know when we sign him."


and...

Quote
Grant Smith has said he wants to stay at Swindon Town despite attracting the interest of a host of rival clubs. The gifted Scottish midfielder is out of contract this summer and the Daily Press understands he is being tracked by Bristol City, Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham, who are managed by former Swindon assistant manager Mick Harford.

Quote
I might be getting offered a contract so I will just wait and see what it is because there have been big cuts on the financial side. But I'd like to stay, " said Smith.

"A few people have enquired and asked to be kept informed of my situation but I cannot say who they are.

"I've really enjoyed the last six months at Swindon and I'd like to carry that on. You have to think of your future, but if the club offer anywhere near what I'm thinking, then I'd like to stay."


Could be a complete new line up the way things are going.

We should be giving Smith a pretty good contract as he's one of the only midfield players we have who can score, and does a good job.

Way things are going we could end up like Oldham last season struggling to put a team out.

I think it's going to be absolutely vital to get the likes of Reeves, Woan, Iffy and even Digby registered for next season.

Hopefully it won't come to it but if needs be they can always make up squad numbers in a crisis.

I'd be gutted if smith left, he's been one of our best players this year. I'm so pissed off right now, especially with shitty coming in and waving their money about  :fu shitty! Really worried bout next year, likely to be no parkin, no smith, no heywood (played well recently) and no money to get decent replacments! even if we find a good bosman, im sure city will come in with a higher offer for wages and take him away from us braddley orr style!

Wouldn't worry what the WDP says too much, they clearly have a Swindon vendetta ...

I think Smith, as well as Fallon has got some good support from the crowd and both want to stay and succeed.

No. There's been an on-going row between the club and the paper, hence the shit stiring stories

We look at Bradley Orr, they take him away.
We look at Richie Wellens and they make a better offer (but he turned them down! :wink: )
Now they want Matt Heywood (who's been here for years)
And they want Smith (who Tinnion has seen ONCE!)

I think Tinnion is a shite manager to be honest. He has spent ridiculous amounts of money on players and they've moved as far backwards as us!

Plus they haven't beaten us for nearly 2 years!!!!!!!!!

Tinnion seems to look at Swindon and think, ooh, King's offered somethign for him. Maybe he's good? Or, Ooh, he had a good game, let's buy him!

The amount of times he's played against Matt Heywood, and it takes him nearly a year as manager to show an interest!

it makes me laugh that Tinnion said lack of resources were partly to blame for City's lacklustre season

They've spent more than ANY club in the division!
Even more than Sheff Weds who get double their attendances!

Cheer up Brian Tinnion....

City spend way to much on players, i wish we had that amount of money to spend, imagine king with all that money. such as 250k on Luke Wilkshire. 250k on Lee Miller....
