Title: Press conference at 2pm- can the public go? Post by: pauld on Monday, September 26, 2005, 11:08:07 Probably not technically, but I bet if you turned up looking reasonably smart but in a scruffy way (ie like a journo) and just tailgated in behind Ritson, no-one would stop you.

Post by: pauld on Monday, September 26, 2005, 13:20:32 Apparently its been delayed until some time later this afternoon because they're still in talks with King (presumably over his settlement terms)
Title: Press conference at 2pm- can the public go? Post by: fatbury on Monday, September 26, 2005, 13:20:46 See Wiltshire sound are up to their usual standard then!!
Now FM comes next year .. we should petition them to give good Swindon Town coverage (I know one of the directors!) Title: Press conference at 2pm- can the public go? Post by: fatbury on Monday, September 26, 2005, 13:21:54 Ed Hadwin reports from the County Ground:
"The official word so far is absolutely nothing. We haven't had the statement that we were expecting but I do understand that Andy King will no longer be manager of Swindon Town football Club. "He'll be leaving Swindon Town Football Club at some point in the next day or two. "I would imagine that there was some degree of mutual choice here in that Andy King probably realised that the writing was on the wall to some extent. But equally I'm sure that there was a little bit of pushing and shoving from the board, having seen the reaction of a few of the fans after Saturday's fifth defeat in a row. "Interestingly it looks like, at least in the short term, his successor is going to be Iffy Onuora which will surprise a few people because he's certainly not the most senior of the coaching staff here at the County Ground as things stand." Title: Press conference at 2pm- can the public go? Post by: fatbury on Monday, September 26, 2005, 13:22:55 I hope that means hes stayin on as a scout

Jewel in the Crown.....personally don't rate it that highly, but they work hard at cultivating an image so I suppose its fair enough.

That would be like somebody losing a managers job in marketing for example and being kept on as a clipboard holder outside Boots. Title: Press conference at 2pm- can the public go?

Title: Press conference at 2pm- can the public go? Post by: Leggett on Monday, September 26, 2005, 15:09:25 the solicitors are dealing with it at the moment, but she wouldnt say either way. that has to be one of the worst press conferences ever, so many empty silences i felt awkward, and i wasn't there!!!
Title: Press conference at 2pm- can the public go? Post by: magicroundabout on Monday, September 26, 2005, 15:16:34 i know what you mean Leggett, . i felt embarrassed just listening to it on my PC.
When asked if he was sacked or resigned they couldn't answer it. Why the fuck not??? I have a feeling if the solicitors can't come up with a compo package he will still be on the books ala last time he was "sacked" Title: Press conference at 2pm- can the public go? Post by: DV on Monday, September 26, 2005, 15:25:57 that was naff, two hours of waiting for 5 minutes telling us exactly what we already knew

I have a feeling if the solicitors can't come up with a compo package he will still be on the books ala last time he was "sacked" I'm guessing that while we wait for the Solicitors to agree a mutual termination package, we can't legally say he is gone. The club put themselves in the firing line by calling a press conference before anything was signed sealed and delivered. Hence why Iffy is in charge of day to day affairs (not "Manager") for an indefinite period. Would have been better to wait until they had something to say before trying to say it. Especially given the fact that this now means we must parade Sandy before the National press again! Title: Press conference at 2pm- can the public go?
