If you happen to be on Facebook, please "like" this, as the adver will run a story (which hopefully someone from the club will see) once 500+ people have signed up.

People are too busy clashing over Di Canio!

As if the club will listen to a facebook page?! The club will appoint who they feel is good for the club, no matter anyone else thinks.

Rather than setting up a page on facebook why not just email the adver?!

Or have the adver now got to the stage where you have to vote before they run a story? if thats the case then i will set up a facebook page about the dodgy pot hole outside my house

you'd be surprised.....

Hi Nick,

As a guy who's often quite accessible by email (which I applaud as I can't imagine many other football league chairmen are!) I thought I'd let you know of how massively uncomfortable town fans would be with A) former oxford players/managers being in charge and/or B) convicted sex offenders being in charge.

If the media are to be believed, Graham Rix and Jim Magilton are in contention. The former guilty of both and latter only the football related sin.

I appreciate football fans can be hard to please sometimes (especially where new managers are concerned) and I know this is more Jeremy's decision than yours, but if you can just pass on the message to those in power that either of these appointments (especially Rix!) Would have a massive backlash effect with the fans.

As I massive swindon fan who has not yet renewed his season ticket (have had season tickets at least 7 times in my 22 years on this earth), I would find it way too uncomfortable following a team with Mr Rix in charge. If this is something Mr Wray is seriously considering, please just make sure he researches a few facebook pages/fan forums first so he's aware of how people feel about this.

Cheers,


Steve.

Steve,
 
Good morning.
 
I have read your e mail and taken onboard your comments.
 
Jeremy and I are aware of these issues and we closely monitor the feelings and views of the fans.
 
Thank you for your interest and support.
 
Come on down and buy that season ticket!!
 
Best wishes
 
Nick

Hopefully that counts trollope out too ;) if they say they look at fans views.

Di Canio it is then!

The adver said they'd run a story if 500 people signed up.

Sorry for trying to make a difference. It won't happen again.

Good work Steve!

I think that's an automated response because I sent him an email about Di Canio.


Hey Nick,

Wow, this whole Di Canio thing is mental! You might get a few emails going on about his political beliefs, but it's only a bit of fascism for crying out loud! Sir Alex Ferguson has campaigned for the Labour party under Tony Blair and you don't see him getting accused of war crimes.

I say go for it!

Cheers

:D

:clap:

So, would you say no to Rix if he came with Hoddle as Dir of Football, a whacking big cheque and access to players who have been at or are now at his Spanish academy?

Yes, he's a peadophile, he's ex-oxford, he's a shit manager and he's a cunt :-)

Yes.

Now I might be wrong but would assume that there are no more than 100/150 people that post on this forum. Therefore how can you possibly justify the comment "Would have a massive backlash effect with the fans"?

Personally I couldn't give a fuck who the manager had slept with or played for /managed as long as he gave us promotion.

 :nod:

Really??  Even if he slept with your 15 year old daughter??  I'd fucking care.

Since when has the TEF encompassed the entire Swindon fanbase?

Yes.

Definitely. Can't even see why the question needed to be asked, the bloke's a convicted sex offender and gives off an aura of sleaze and seediness.

I could get past someone who once had links with oxford, that doesn't bother me much tbh. Afterall, it's only the fans who give a shit about the rivalry.

Would just be dragging the club through the gutter. And for what? A crap manager anyway.

yes or no

The answer is obviously no. Oh, and you spelt it wrong.

you better off asking here mate  ;)

where's this rumour come from?

Oh good another troll, just what we need

Exactly right.

It's almost irrelevant that he's a Paedophile. Fact is he's a shit manager. I'd be amazed if he's a genuine candidate.

Doesn't matter if he's a bloody great manager. Not what you want to be associated with the club, end of.

I'd say exactly the opposite - almost irrelevant he's a shit manager, fact is he's a sex offender

Tomato tomayto

Potayto Potahto

But other than that hes ok, right? :D

I bet he's shit at puns also

Forget the paedo bit.

You'd be left with Rix in charge of the day to day running of the first team. That would be a disaster.

Then you'd potentially have Glenda pushing him to instil his academy players into the first team at the expense of developing our own talent.

The whole thing would end in tears.

Unless he has been confirmed on the OS as a candidate i refuse to believe there is any chance whatsoever of him taking the helm. Simply because the Adver runs a story with 'The Adver understands...' carries no more weight than what my Aunt Mavis hears down the local after a sherry or two.
