To me, the McMahon/Hunt years ripped the heart and soul out of the club and it's only just starting to recover. When you think of what Diamond Mike and his cronies did in the ensuing years, it's absolutely amazing that there's a club left at all.
You'll like this week's video then.
It’s almost sixteen years since Steve McMahon took over the reins at STFC – this week’s video gives you the chance to cringe once again at Macca’s shifty interview technique - Swindon Cable reviewing his time as Town boss with “The Steve McMahon Story”, aired on the day he resigned in 1998.
There’s a lot of waffle, but particular highlights are McMahon claiming that he left the club “in a better position” than when he joined (10:40), and Rikki Hunt firstly banning all the fans who took part in the on-pitch protest, then predicting that McMahon will become the best manager that Swindon have produced.
But... if you can’t bring yourself to watch all that.... just watch the last few minutes (starting around 26:00) – if only to see the look on Andy Rowland’s face when McMahon explains the reasons for selling Jan Fjortoft. Gulp.
