In regards to martin Ling and im only saying and sharing what I have heard. I have heard that Martin Ling basically talked himself out of the swindon job . Apparantly he insisted that Byrne was not at the club thought that a academy would not be worthwhile and wanted a lot of money to spend on players.
Like I said probably just more rumours BUT if true im glad we did not offer him the job

why not??? sounds right to me ... surely youd want to bring in your own backroom staff ... and academies on the whole dont seem to bring in what you spend on them .. and we need quite a few new players who will cost money to go up ..
Does this mean that Malfoy isnt going to spend any money at all? In which case we can forget signing Cox?

Well the bit about players probably makes sense. Why else would he leave one league 1 team to come to another, unless he was getting paid rediculous amounts of course?
If he would come here purely for money then he'd be off as soon as a bigger job came along.

fitton says that someone talked themselves out of the job by asking for too much money in his adver interview today. whether that was money to spend or money in wages is unclear, so it could indeed by ling.
i think the ling/byrne thing has been posted before, i've certainly heard it from soemwhere.

Tozer being a discard from someone elses (Plymouths) academy. Having said all that there are a few of the best young players at our centre of excellence that we lose to academies at neighbouring clubs just about every year and the likes of Reading, Bristol City and Southampton are going to keep sweeping up all the best local talent unless we can offer a oaching set up and facilities to compete with them. |

any manager would want the youth set up to get academy status eventually(bits and peices in todays adver regarding this,and its nothing new).ling wanting that would have had nothing to do with it imo.
thge rest i think is all possible.and fatbury you are so wrong i'm cringing for you

Tbh Ling has it pretty cushty at Orient so he's bound to make high demands isn't he? Why leave a comfy job to go to one that might not be as comfy?

Ling didn't want the job as he was told Byrne would have to stay on as assistant. Why Byrne doesnt just go back to the yoofs is beyond me.
