I see he has bought Swindon born, former Oxford United player and scorer of comical own goal Wayne Hatswell with him.

The removal of Morris must have been in the offing for a while with Flynn being employed so quickly.

Wouldn't have been my choice TBH but I will support him and it was done with speed this time, fair play to Clem, he was the man he wanted originally so he has finally got him.
Could be good could be bad but at least he is experienced.
If we get the Good Flynn then we will do well, if we get Walsall Flynn then the exact opposite.
He has had a few good cup runs so hopefully he will make us more of an obstacle in the cups than we have been in the last 10 years.
Good luck Mike and heres to a successful future at Swindon.

Clem is a sickening ITK-er.
Won't believe the Flynn rumour till I see the scarf over the head pic.

I dunno, he was only sacked by Walsall 2 weeks ago. Although with 1 win in 20 games the writing must have been on the wall for a while. |

Said similar in other thread but it’s a stable appointment and it’s sad that’s the thought process we have as Swindon fans in League 2 but it’s where we are. His stock was really high imo at Newport, real limited sources yet was always competitive. Done a proper job on us home and away in the wellens season. Changed it up in one season at Newport and was playing some real decent football (Twine was probably the reason for that but hey). Didn’t work out at Walsall but fucking hell we ain’t gonna get someone who’s had 2 promotions back to back are we in our current form. Oh, and Flynn’s a proper fucking bloke so I don’t expect us to be a team full of lightweight weasels next season. Hes been in League 2 last 6 years- he’ll know what’s needed and I’d like to think he already knows who/what he wants.
Need to add a football man into the hierarchy now.
Let’s fucking go Flynn 🚀

Broadly underwhelmed but can see it is a solid appointment.
Impressed by the speed of it, so no excuses for Flynn in terms of preseason planning (#fatigued) and getting players in.
Big positives: current and competent, knows the League, knows our team within reason having played us multiple times, likely has a list of targets already. Can hit the ground running, unlike Morris who piled in like someone trying to land on their first parachute jump.

1 win in 20.... fuck that's worse than Morris's track record.
Just hope he can turn this all this around.

True but I think Wellens had a similar record at Doncaster with just a 23% win ratio before he was sacked and appointed Orient manager and we know how that ended up this season. With managers it is horses for courses, some managers fit teams and some teams fit managers. I hope Flynn fits us. |

Just met him in the car park, at least we’ve appointed somebody quickly and given him a chance to build a squad in the off season

Garners record was shit at Rovers
Wellens was poor at Oldham
When will our fans learn sometimes it just doesn’t work at some clubs. We aren’t going to get a manager in who’s just got a team promoted, unfortunately.
It’s steady, he’s been around long enough to know what’s needed, he’s had 1 bad season in his whole management career

Unless someone is a serial managerial loser, one or even two duff jobs doesn’t mean anything necessarily.
Sir Alex Ferguson was sacked by St Mirren. He took them to a tribunal and lost, with ruling saying he had "neither by experience nor talent, any managerial ability at all".
