Where is Reg these days?
What about Mother Brown? Did s/he get busted? |

Wellens currently threw his toys out of the pram. He wanted to sign 4 players on deadline day but the club said no. Swindon are paying £300,000 a month in players salaries with no income coming in. No business can sustain that and the club is no exception. The main thing at the moment is for the club to survive so getting some compensation for Wellens might help out.
What Wellens has soon forgotten was Power gave him an opportunity and look how he has repaid him when the tough get's going.
Let's move on and support the new man however he may be.
That's £3.6m p/a in breach of the salary cap. I don't think our outgoings are £300,000 a month! |

That can’t be right. Puts our budget at a cap-busting £3.6m. And I’m sure Wellens said we hadn’t even spent up to the cap limit. |

Wellens regularly said different things in interviews about how close we were or were not to the salary cap. Hard to believe either way honestly.

Remember the cap doesn't include u21s like our loanees and up until very recently, Broadbent too.
Pretty much every club will have a budget beyond the cap.

My first reaction was how inconvenient to assemble your own team (limitations or not) and then fuck off leaving a replacement to somehow transform your shocking start.
But if we get compo for Judas and he spares us having to sack him anyway, then all good.
It's a big challenge for a new manager but whoever he turns out to be let's hope he's got bigger balls than Wellens.on

I think it has been pointed out before, but our new man is Noel Hunt.
He is here for the foreseeable future.
(Not sure 'whose' foreseeable future mind)

Any guesses on how much compensation Power may get |

It's a fucking misquote (Blame batch for only highlighting those two words). The extension of it was; '...for the foreseeable future until a new manager is appointed at the club.' Yes if he does well, Hunt MAY get a chance to be appointed as the new manager but he is purely interim manager for now. |

Well I think Noel deserves a chance. So good luck to him. No idea about compo, I was posting in bitterness after a couple of pre lockdowners.
I can understand the attraction of Salford to Wellens but he's unlikely to have had a clause on his contract that if the mighty Salford come in for me then Town wouldn't stand in my way.
On a limited budget perhaps but he's rebuilt the squad and overseen a catastrophic start, defensively, to our new season. Baudry's absence last night didn't exactly prove the solution.
We don't want a Hart-like transition now but a long while back I felt the team was wanking about showing less than guts to hold what we have with any grit or guile. And perhaps hit on the break.
If PDC was D I SCO! Wellens left us S I EVE!
Some backbone please. AFC were very limited but knew what they wanted and how to go about it.

Interim manager for the foreseeable future. Like Raffa Benitez was an interim manager from November until the end of the season. I think he's got that long unless we are bottom at Christmas. |

Makes sense. Give him an opportunity till Decemeber to see if he can arrest the decline. If it looks better then great. Go for it Noel! |
