next swindon manager

[Don Rogers Shop]

Agree Ben total managment overhaul, someone hopefully with a bit of authority who is not afraid to crack the whip so to speak.

[janaage]

Bodin's a no for me, did nothing at Bath.  Yesterday he strolls out a few minutes into the game, he couldn't give a fuck.  I'm really disappointed in Bodin recently, actually I'm really disappointed in most of the staff at the CG, they really don't care about the club.  If we score there's no reaction from the youth teamers, from Bodin, from the players sat in the exec area.  I'm not expecting them to go mad about the match, but a reaction would be nice.

If we're going to have change I think it's got to be proper change. The players clearly need a kick in the arse, appointing from inside would only give them a chance to continue to stagnate.

That is a fair point and I will have to agree with that, but who else would seriously want to come to Swindon if as I think will happen, Malpas will go and everyone else will be left standing. Experience managers like to bring their team with them.

Agreed.

Excuse me while I moan for a bit.  The recent home performances have been dreadful and make me question why on earth I bother doing a 130 mile round trip to come and watch such crap.  The players seem to totally lack any desire to play and the midfield in non existent.  JPM is a waste of space 99% of the time. 
Wasn't happy about Malpas taking over in the first place, who the hell is he was my first thought.  But I thought give the guy a chance, just because he's not well known won't make him a useless manager.  However I am out of patience now, he seems to be lacking in ideas, contacts and doesn't seem to be able to motivate the players. The coaching staff around him don't seem much better.  If we let this go on too long then we will be in a relegation fight this season.

What about John Gregory for next manager???

[tans]

Isnt he at Derby as assistant?

You made some good points.

However you completely fucked up at the end. John Gregory? FFS!!

[sonic youth]

i don't think we should appoint a manager with less experience than malpas, so that rules out people like bodin.

whoever it is needs to have recent management experience in england (perhaps jockland at a stretch) with some sort of decent track record. they will also need to identify the backroom staff they want to work with and bring them in ASAP.

i've got faith that when fitton decides to act, he will do so swiftly

[herthab]

The problem is that any manager out of work will have failed in their last job.

The mongish minority will pick up on this.

We'd be better off with a high profile ex player who is taking his first steps into management, or an ex Town player.

I'd go with Ling. Done ok at Orient on limited resources.

[janaage]

Ling's a no for me, he hasn't done that well at Brisbane Road, his form second half of last season was was then MM's.  He also had a fair amount of money whilst in L2 and took ages to get them up.

Out of the people who are available I'd go for Holloway, just becase he's a half decent manager, and he's funny.  That'll do me, could careless if he's a gash head.

[DV]

I've decided I want Francis Benali in charge because he had an ace 'tache....

[sonic youth]

sheringham!

[Arriba]

no to ling, nijholt and holloway.

[herthab]

So all we've done is shown that it's going to be very hard to appoint someone that will unite the fans.

I wouldn't want Holloway, or Niholt, or Bodin. DV makes a good point though, Benali did have an ace tache.......

[Arriba]

go down the route that has brought us success in the past.an ex top player on the first rung of the managerial ladder.
