We need someone brought in - if we can afford Wise we can afford someone else.

Most of the people at the club already have no experience and the one who does, Tuttle, doesn't want it anyway, look what happened last time with Iffy even though I'd have him back.

Promote Bodin to first team coach so we have a replacement when our next manager is poached (or sacked  :| ).

And as for Williams as caretaker manager - that is fucking ridiculous, I knew the board were thick, but fuck me they take it to new levels.

Promote Bodin? What does he do now?

its  a Reeves4/for fest 8)

 8) Who are ya

Bodin coaching Swindon u15s centre of excellence.

give Ady a chance  :-))(

 By all means give Adie 2 or 3 games, while a careful decision is being taken on a successor, but we need to appoint someone with experience, who has a decent profile in the game.

 Williams is too important to us as a player.

no i do agree Reg. i just think people should get behind him rather than slagging the board off and saying he'll do a shit job

Unfortunately....the Board and shit job go hand in hand....even King couldn't keep us up when required to use 5 or 6 loan players, at the start of last season.

    As last season the Board were quite content to see us relegated as a cost cutting measure.....they'll now be looking to save on promotion bonuses.hence a rookie manager, and obstacles in his path, like selling any half decent talent  in the Jan window.

Reg you have hit the nail on the head. They dont want promotion simply because it will cost them the bonus payments

The whole club fucking stinks

Surely win bonuses etc. will be covered by the increased revenue etc. that promotion wins?  Surely we'll get to a point whereby it'll become cheaper for us to go up as a result of this than for us not to got up because of the number of wins we have/will have?

Tom you do not understand the dynamics by which this board work

Your argument makes business sense and is correct, but this shower are as thick as shit.

All they will see is having to pay £200k- which is why as Reg says any chance of promotion will be jepordised in January

You talk common sense- but our board dont

Jan Molby, Mel Machin, Marc McGee, Paul Merson and John Aldridge must all be in the process of printing fresh copies of their CV’s.

Must admit I’ve no idea who I’d like to see succeed Wise.  Looking at the LMA site the usual suspects lined up under available ‘managers’ makes for uncomfortable reading.

Mark Bowen would do I suppose

They were talking about Brian Robson on Points West earlier! I'd rather have Bobby, even if he can't ever make it past the magic roundabout.

there are some decent names in there though Dazza as well

bryan robson? fuck right off.

I really don't understand why you support this club.
You seem to get a sick sort of kick out of watching the club crumble.

Please become a martyr for the cause or fuck off.

I did question that directly and they reckon it will cost money because they already factored in the sort of attendances we've been getting.  The £750k overspend was at the end of the season if it all went well.

That's not to say I'd agree they want to avoid paying it.  I think £200k or £250k was player bonuses around promotion, which quite frankly divided by a squad of 25 seems pretty reasonable to me, not to our board though.

Paper Talk today.....

Former Sheffield Wednesday boss Paul Sturrock hopes to be back in management before Christmas and may be willing to work in Scotland (Record).


Former England boss Sven Goran Eriksson says he will "listen to anything" because he is so desperate to get back into management (Sun).

 :soapy tit wank:

Agreed, Bart it would be nice if you got involved with other threads as well as just slagging off the board. Who are you and what's your agenda?

You're f******g boring me, to be honest. We know how you feel - give it up - we get the picture!

I fancy Sven as the next Swindon manager.
