Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: yeo on Friday, June 16, 2006, 11:10:57 Nothing a Gurney interview about how hes an op and a piece with Frazer Digby saying he doesnt know where he stands as he has a new buisness on the go and isnt sure he can commit properly to being goal keeping coach.
Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: yeo on Friday, June 16, 2006, 11:11:20 or if Wise wants him..
Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: sonic youth on Friday, June 16, 2006, 11:11:57 last i heard digby had pretty much left the club in all but title, perhaps me sauces are wrong on that one.
Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: yeo on Friday, June 16, 2006, 11:12:56 Probably right I think the advers scrathing around for stories again
Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: RobertT on Friday, June 16, 2006, 11:16:50 Yeah, I'm sure someone told me he had little to do with the club for quite a few months now.
Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: Dazzza on Friday, June 16, 2006, 11:24:53 What happened to his marketing job?
Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: yeo on Friday, June 16, 2006, 11:25:57 Hes must be doing it part time still it says he sorted out Wise and Poyets Bmws from a local dealer.

I dare say when there is any news it will be that we've signed a whole basket full of players. I hope. Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, June 16, 2006, 11:54:30 Surely, we'll have to have some players coming in for the start of pre-season training.
One keeper would be nice though! Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: le god cuervo on Friday, June 16, 2006, 12:19:14 is wise even back from his holiday yet? if he is you would have thought there would've been something on the official site saying he's back in the office & is looking at new players, talking to current ones etc etc blah blah... a little interview maybe... but there's been no proper news since the day him & poyet arrived.
if it wasn't for the world cup i'd be proper board with the lack of football activity Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, June 16, 2006, 12:25:38 The thisis site isn't working for me at the moment [It is now!]
What a boring week for Swindon Town fans. [Looks like the Adver hasn't had a sniff from the club.] Complete opposite next week please. Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, June 16, 2006, 13:36:14 That Michael Meaker 'non story' was absolutely plumbing the depths :?

Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: reeves4england on Friday, June 16, 2006, 15:05:25 I see plenty of other clubs have players flying round all over the place. Would be nice to see atleast ONE move from Wise soon.

I'd hate to see what ifs all over the back of the adver just to find out they're not going to happen. I'm sure Wise has some names lined up. Title: Anything in the Adver today?

I'd hate to see what ifs all over the back of the adver just to find out they're not going to happen. I'm sure Wise has some names lined up. I am sure we would all agree with that and I am also sure we have some decent signings lined up. I think though that people were expecting things to happen this week with little Dennis back from his hols and are a bit frustrated at the apparent inactivity. Things are bound to start happening soon I am sure. Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: Luci on Friday, June 16, 2006, 15:44:37 The thing is though Wise has had to assess the current players before he can go about brigning in new faces, positions needed, positions needing strengthening etc. If we had a manager who already knew the squad and its capabilities then I think things would have happened sooner. I just think thats the reason its taking longer than people think it should.
Title: Anything in the Adver today? Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, June 16, 2006, 15:48:32 I have to say, I can't quite figure out exactly how he is assessing the players at the club when he would not have seen the majority of them play. Who is helping him? Devlin? Carson?????? :shock:

However, did manage to find this: http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/swindontownfc/display.var.798987.0.excitement_as_new_manager_prepares_to_unveil_initial_batch_of_new_players.php Story is this: Quote TOWN fans are feeling like excited children on Christmas Eve as Dennis Wise prepares to unwrap his surprise gifts to them. The new County Ground boss is set to complete his first signings in the next 48 hours with at least two names poised to join this week and further new faces to follow. Supporters have suffered a long wait for the recruitment drive to begin as Wise has been conducting initial negotiations while on holiday. But he returns to SN1 this week to begin his revolution in earnest and the fans can't wait to see who he brings with him. continued... Supporters Club spokesman Nigel Bennett said: "The is an air of genuine expectancy waiting for news of these new signings. "The fans are looking forward to it immensely and to the new season, despite the league we find ourselves in. Wise and chief executive Mark Devlin have kept their cards very close to their chests thus far a far cry from last pre-season when former boss Andy King was happy to declare his targets. "Everybody has been speculating but it's a good business policy to do what the club have done," said Bennett. "They don't want to alert other clubs to targets so the fact we've had no news so far isn't a bad thing." Wise's top priority is a new goalkeeper after Rhys Evans' switch to Blackpool left the club without a senior custodian on their books. Andy Marshall Wise's former No1 at Millwall has been strongly linked, while Bristol City's Steve Phillips has publicly expressed his desire to join. Outfield players rumoured to be in the reckoning include ex-Swansea midfielder Roberto Martinez and Rochdale forward Ricky Lambert. Bennett says a combative midfield general is top of the fans' wish list. He added: "Myself and many of the other supporters believe a central midfielder is something we've needed for a number of seasons a player who can perform a destructive role. "Lee Peacock up front should score goals at this level and defensively I think we're in good shape. "Obviously we need a goalkeeper or two, but if the fans can identify that I'm pretty sure the management team can. "The sides that generally do well are ones with experience. I would like to see us targeting players aged 25 to 30 rather than 20 to 25. "And if we can bring in high profile players with experience that will generate even more enthusiasm at the club for next season." Title: Anything in the Adver today?

On a positive note theres this re Caton. His injuries have almost been a blessing in diguise with regards to preventing his involvement from the first team sooner. Least he can start a fresh with Wise in charge and hopefully get a chance to prove himself. Title: Anything in the Adver today?
