I know it's not the be all and end all but can you see him being able to manage McKirdy?
Probably not. Can you see McKirdy scoring another 20 goals next season or do we think his career has peaked?

They have a big pitch don't they? His style of football might work there, but as you say it will be interesting to see.
He says he likes wide pitches but all too often we were exposed down the wings by a long cross field ball. So really what he means is he like a wide pitch for attacking but a narrow fucker to defend. Unsure if I'm pissed off not bothered or happy, some games were good some were fucking atrocious. It's Swindon what do we expect, let's get another big name to get us going again.

Well, it’s compo for Garner and the 2 Scotts. Combined salaries - 2 years would be about £300,000+
Not to be sniffed at.

Fuck knows with Harry. Such an unconventional character. Expectations of him are increased now so if he doesn't hit the ground running next season, we could be in for stormier waters, but as Batch says nobody knows the future - apart from Mystic Meg.

I suspect we won't be going down the big name route. More likely to be a talented coach from a premier/championship academy side I'd have thought?

With the right man in charge I think McKirdy could bag 20 again next year. He gathered goalscoring momentum as the season went on, with 5 league goals before Christmas (plus one in the pizza trophy) and 14 after (plus one vs Man City and two in the play offs). If he hit the ground running he wouldn't have to continue in the same vein as January to April to reach 20 for the year.

Not sure how I feel about this news. On one hand it's worrying that a manager feels the need to jump ship at the first opportunity. Has he been told the budget will be reduced next season? Do we lack ambition? Will our better players leave? On the other, he was a decent coach but a pretty poor manager. The preparations for the play-off games weren't the best, and we were appalling at Vale. A good start and end to the season, but some were calling for his head mid season.
We're Swindon. Always expect the unexpected! Would be nice to temp Flynn down here, or Tisdale perhaps???

Or more simply a bigger club with a better budget and a higher salary offered him a job. Its always going to happen at this level, do well and you will have bigger clubs sniffing about, Edwards won the title and immediately left for bigger things, and I suspect that come the play off final being over the managers of Mansfield and PV will be attracting interest from above. That's life, as it stands we are bottom feeders in the hierarchy and always likley to lose anyone manager or player who is seen as a prospect for higher up the pyramid.

Garner has come out with some absolute shite over the course of the season. Its not quite Luke Williams 3 draws is a win or Paul Hart convincing us he was playing 3 strikers, but some of the stuff he said over the course of the season reminds me why I'm not bothered if he is going.

It's gonna be though isn't it or what then? A proportion of the fan base never took to the guy however well we were doing in the table (there were not sarcastic calls for his head even when we were in the play offs), if he doesn't leave now after it being reported that he wants to its going to be bloody toxic!

So how will Garner be recieved if he doesn't get past the interview? If we're not top by September some people will get real sour on him.
