I'll still be there with my ST no matter who the manager is. It will be interesting.
This. Got to say that my enthusiasm has waned of late and bit fed up with all the comments over the pub from people who have not been in years telling me we are rubbish/crap/sh*te but they "support" ManU/City/Lverpool/Chelsea/Arsenal etc. etc., so if it can be turned around then I would be very happy. |

Appreciate that isn’t a name and very wishful thinking - when looking around for people who could potentially fit that description I found Big Duncan Ferguson. Now whether he’d ever want to leave Everton to have a crack at management I don’t know. Imagine the phone ins... "What is your favourite cheese?" "Fuck off" |

Whilst Wellens has only had one job, so doesn’t quite fit into the same mould...
I want someone different; someone who hasn’t been around the block and failed multiple times. Someone who has retired, stayed in the game and has been slowly learning their trade at a decent level who wants a first time crack at management. Someone who played at the top level and thus had to keep to very high standards of diet & training
It would also be nice to have someone with a bit of authority & fear factor.

Trouble is with the likes of DF, he gets paid probably 4x what he would get here for doing little with no pressure. When you look at him on the bench... it's almost like Kenwright and co are too scared to sack him. John Terry, seems to be lining himself up for a similar gig. Does Wellens have the necessary hunger to put in the hours watching non league players etc? It's one thing talking up your credentials another doing it. |

As with everything STFC related, I am always minded to await official confirmation before getting too excited. However, I do feel Wellens would be a sensible appointment. He’s probably looking at us as a possible stepping stone to return to League 1 - should he keep us up I expect he’ll attract interest from teams above us in the pyramid. It makes sense all round seeing as we are bringing in a gaffer with experience of a relegation battle and being at the helm of a basket case club.
Hunt as chief cone gatherer is an interesting one....I had hoped for Paul Jewell, a proper football man, but given Power has paid off two contracts I think I was always being slightly optimistic.

 You're ITK Chang.... is this Noel Hunt, anything to do with Waterford or the fella who caused Cech to wear the rugby cap? |

Glad PB is gone.
Surprised with appointment but his limited experience to-date (and at a struggling club) surely doesn't give anyone enough evidence to declare that he is demonstrably useless? The opposite is equally true of course, but the current Swindon setup was never going to be able to appoint a proven winner.
Hopefully Power has seen some potential there and come up with an inspired choice. What harm does it do us to think positive and give him a chance as well as our support?

The kind of description you give reminds of a certain John Terry. Maybe if we were L1 he'd have been an option to snag from Villa. Only thing is with JT, I imagine he'd be off as soon as a higher club came sniffing. After lifting the FL Trophy in his kit, of course |

Journeyman?
He's only managed one club previously.
Short journeyman. |

You have to hand it to Power, we all expected some sort of internal, and we got one.... and he can multi task by playing, clever. |

Hunt seems to be plying his playing trade still, having been accused of standing on a players head earlier in the season. Could probably do with a bit of that. Wellens has not long hung his boots up as well, but we have plenty in his old role.
Hunt has not been in the squad the last couple of weeks, maybe getting ready?
