Given those people rumoured to have been interviewed, I think plan A fell apart...

If it is Lindsey who does end up  getting the job,I find it very worrying that no other Coach/Manager would entertain taking the job possibly because of our new analytical approach to signings etc…Maybe he is the only one actually happy to work within that model and with pre season so close,we have panicked and given it to him.

I hope I’m wrong on this!

Money could be the other reason.

Could just be that Lindsey interviewed and was genuinely the most impressive candidate. He's very well regarded as a coach.

But yeah. Underwhelming. Not to say he won't do a good job but it feels like a PR own goal. The meltdown is going to be beautiful though.

Tomorrow sounds like the day of destiny finally. Announcement tomorrow afternoon.

Delaney with Lindsey as assistant would be my personal choice, maybe throw Caddis in as coach.

I can only begin to imagine how disappointed our fanbase is going to be should it be Lindsey as head coach.

A few posted on here that we are skint, the budget was being slashed...

That was shot down by Clem who said the budget was increased by at least 40%

If it happens It may supersede the Bristol Rovers abandoned match thread!

Fair point but he didn't say what the increased budget would cover

Yeah, that’s it.

We’ve increased the bucket hat budget by 40% but slashed everything else

I was wondering the other day why the assistants hadn’t been considered so think Lindsey would be a good appointment.
1) Knows Swindon
2) Management experience
3) Yourh coaching experience
4) Lower league experience
5) Rated as a coach
6) Players know him
7) Consistency

Is any of that really true? His management experience was in the Isthmian League and his coaching experience is us and Forest Green with brief caretaker spell at Lincoln. He’s 50 years old and there’s nothing in his CV that remotely suggests he should be getting a league 2 head coach gig.
