I heard Gordon Greer mentioned yesterday, perhaps pie in the sky like most rumours.
Big opportunity for the club to get it right - equal to the risk of getting it wrong.
Will be a bundle of applicants, Swindon remains an attractive club but managers do talk. I just hope due diligence and consultation takes place before a quickfire appease-the-masses appointment.

Is there a list of potential managers somewhere? I'm just reading names mentioned here and there.

You mean a list of out of contract former managers? not seen one. There is the bookies list, but only Skybet seem to be taking cash right now. VC were, but its gone from their betvictor site now https://www.oddschecker.com/football/team-specials/swindon/next-permanent-manager |

You can go to www.thesackrace.com/teams/swindon-town if that helps. I saw this morning AFC Wimbledon have parted company with Neal Ardley. Despite his failings with them so far this season, he had been there 6 or 7 years (the 7 year itch, I guess). I'd be happy with him here. |

God it's depressing being a town fan, the downward spiral just continues..
And people wonder why fans lose their mojo about a club..
Posts like these are meaningless without the "Just shows how far we've fallen" tagline Swindon fans have adopted in the past few months. But yes you are right... Although my STFC 'mojo' is waining I still love watching live football. Managed to get a ticket in the away end at the Madejski for £20. 3 goals after 10 minutes, great value for money. Now Browns gone though I'll probably come to the next Town game (after throwing a right old strop post Cambridge) and support the new man. |

Not really any of the names mentioned actually appeal to me, possibly Bellamy at a push.
I think I would prefer the recently retired top level player, possibly an ex international, all the experienced names mentioned either wouldn't want to come to us or would not inspire me with much confidence, ala Cotterill etc.
I have a feeling the job could be Taylors, if he wants it, he wouldn't be my first choice but who knows, I am not going to write any new manager off before he is even appointed.

Colin Calderwood appears at 10/1. Is he out of work currently?

Yes, he was assistant to Bruce prior to his sacking at Villa. He had success as Manager early is his career but has been an assistant most of the time since. |

Yes. I'm fairly sure that Colin would know it isn't right, and probably doesn't need the money. |

Bellamy turned down Oxford, apparently due to concerns over budget, recruitment etc. so unless something has happened he'd be very unlikley here. |

People know Bellamy is very close friends with Power right? Interpret that how you like but I don't think it should happen, as I've said before, I've met him and he's a good guy really but probably not a good idea while Power is in charge.

I think you will find that is NOT the Swindon way PV  |
