Title: Who Post by: Bushey Boy on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 11:59:55 In my time, hoddle.....but only until he left us up the shitter without a paddle

NMH Title: Who Post by: yeo on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 12:36:56 Macari
Promotions,Discipline,Commitment. The football wasnt great but we seemed to get loads of goals and they players seemed to care more than they do know. Title: Who Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 12:38:30 mine has to be Andy King. purely because of his cigar smoking :doobie:
Title: Who Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 12:45:17 Macari is our greatest manager ever - FACT!
(And he is therefore my favourite. I did rather like little Ossie as well though) Title: Who Post by: Tails on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 12:55:01 Hoddle probably.
Title: Who Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 13:07:45 Quote from: "Tails" Hoddle probably. What do you mean, probably? He either is or isn't. It's not a catch question! Title: Who Post by: Tails on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 13:14:39 Well I've hardly had a great selection of STFC managers since I've been watching. Since hoddle was the first I just chose him.
Gorman - did nothing McMahon - was a cunt Jimmy Quinn - did nothing Colin Todd - twat Roy Evans - did nothing Andy King - did ok under him, but a tosser Iffy - nice guy, shit manager Wise - unproven so far. Title: Who Post by: McLovin on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 13:16:05 Hoddle, followed by King
Title: Who Post by: quinnismyhero on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 13:44:57 Macari for me with maybe Danny Williams (first stint) second
Title: Who Post by: janaage on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 13:57:51 I liked Macari, Ossie, Glenn and Johnny G.
Title: Who Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 14:17:05 no one going for Stevie Mac then? :soapy tit wank:
Title: Who Post by: Spud on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 14:21:17 Seeing as i didnt taste the Macari regime im gonna have to go for Hoddle even though he fucked off for Chelsea.
We played some amazing Football that year. Title: Who Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 14:22:38 i might have to change mine to Jimmy Quinn! i just loved the "mighty Quinn" blaring out of the tannoy before every game
Title: Who Post by: Danjackson10 on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 14:34:48 hoddle :thumbs:
Title: Who Post by: Rich Pullen on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 15:34:44 I went to my first Swindon game when Monsieur Osvaldo Ardiles was in charge.
So, I'll go with him. Title: Who Post by: blinkpip on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 15:44:17 Steve McMahon Barmy Army! :nod:
Title: Who Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 16:08:59 Lou Macari's red and white army!
Title: Who Post by: cavpete on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 17:09:08 got to be lou macari record points for us and players played with passion (even though they just hoofed it up front)

Title: Who Post by: Milmo on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 18:05:11 Lou Macari easily :\/
I like the fact that Wise seems to be showing a similar no nonsense style. Title: Who Post by: fatbury on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 18:08:26 Lou Macari - Glenn Hoddle - Ossie Ardiles
LOU MACARI'S RED N WHITE ARMY! Title: Who Post by: Bedford Red on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 19:29:35 Lou for me; followed by Ossie and then Glenn.
Title: Who Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 22:50:09 john gorman - shit but good football
steve mcmahon - cunt jimmy quinn - did ok with no money andy king - twat but got decent results iffy onoura - would have been decent given time probably onoura i thought he had was far beyond any of our previous managers who were typical lower league meatheads. iffy was articulate which qualifies him above all apart from gorman Title: Who Post by: STFC4LIFE on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 23:06:27 I believe I have had, Mcmahon,Quinn,King,Iffy,Wise
Its Wise already. Title: Who Post by: SwindonStevo on Thursday, August 3, 2006, 13:23:07 osvaldo
Title: Who Post by: kaufman on Thursday, August 3, 2006, 16:26:20 i started going to swindon just before macari got the sack and then reinstated. i think i was around 7/8 years old. great manager and he has never managed to succeed really anywhere else.
hoddle obviously has to come into it but there was something about ardiles that was a bit more magical than hoddle. i have never seen a team transformed in the way that they play more so than when ossie took over. some of the stuff we played on 89/90 was jaw dropping. and the play off semi final win over blackburn when all the ticker tape was thrown as the players came out was something we will never see again. amazing i played a match at the ground a few days later for a school boy final and they had not cleared up the mess. there was shit loads of the stuff everywhere including a big flag someone had left behind. im rambling, but happy days they were. shame they wont let people in with ticker tape anymore Title: Who Post by: Fred Elliot on Thursday, August 3, 2006, 16:46:46 Danny Williams
