I think we will get at most 2 more signings by Wednesday but I am fairly certain they won't be the experience most fans crave.

As SY says every signing is a punt, look at Peach, Whalley, Cureton and Thorpe, they had the experience we need but had no stomach for a fight, we need battlers who want to play for us and not purely look at Swindon as a way of "quickly" forwarding their career.

I have no problem with players using us as a stepping stone to play at a higher level but please for fucks sake give us 100% effort while you are with us, not too much to ask is it?

I will be amazed if we sign anybody, dumbstruck if it's anybody over 25 and thunder struck if it's anybody over 6ft tall and imposing....

I don't think there is any way he will resign, and he would be a fool to do so and lose 4 years salary, he will have to be pushed.

As someone keeps posting, Power wants him to resign so he doesn't have to pat compensation, and Williams wants out but doesn't want to resign without compensation.

The suggestion has been poo-poo'ed on a number of occasions by several people, but it is looking more & more like there may be some truth in it.

The fact that Williams keeps indicating he has NO involvement in recruitment would surely suggest that there's something going on

To paraphrase:
"We work as a team, I'm comfortable with TS role"
"I don't know about transfers"

Either frozen out, or BS..

Hanging on to a sinking ship is going to make it virtually impossible for him to get a job in the future.

The longer he stays the lower his stock falls. Picking up his peanuts at the CG will finish his career.

I'm coming into some money - maybe I can pay the twat off!

Maybe, maybe not but if so what sort of tw!t gives a rookie so-called "manager" a 5 year cpntract without a break clause or ability to easily pay it off?

Exactly my point I made ealier mate.

I agree, it seems like he is being deliberately kept in the dark or hes a liar.

There has to be some element of truth in the rumours IMO.

We have constantly been told that Luke Williams is the best coach in the lower leagues and was wanted by Sunderland and others, surely if he is THAT good then he will be poached by a bigger club....

Although I fear the longer he stays here and the worse we get then the lower his stock will get.

So it makes sense for all parties to come to an agreement in his release or we will have a coach we don't want and he will have on his CV the record of being one of the least successful managers in the history of STFC. (currently with a 27% win ratio)

Managers with over 35 games in charge of us...

Gorman 21%
Allen 21%
Quinn 22.5%
Todd 22%
Onoura was 25%
Williams 27%
Lindley 28%
Mackay 31%
Malpas 31%
King 33%
Trollope 35%
Wilson 36%
Beamish 38%

Perhaps his 5 year deal is a rolling one, renewable at the end of each season and that's what Powers waiting for. Sack him and pay up the remainder or wait and don't renew.

Dangerous game if is the case as may save the contract cash but be in div 4.
 Hmmm

Who knows.

One concern I have with Williams and Embleton is through injury neither had long playing careers in the Football League.

You get the impression they have a football purist approach rather than being wise to the dark arts of grinding out results, knowing when players are are not putting it in and knowing when to get dirty yourself.

 So you know Rovers and Oxford in a local derby are going to get physical. Then you prepare for that and win your battles, from there you might get a chance to play your stuff. Not thinking you can tippy tappy your way out of a relegation battle.
