If some one had said to me this time last year, that in a year's time Wise and Poyet would have come and gone, to be replaced by Sturrock I would have said, "Shut up you monkey".

Or something like that.

It's an unbelievably good appointment.

Just got a text from an Owls supporting chum confirming that loads of Wednesday fans did not want him to go.

Absolutely awesome news what was looking like a poor attendance and shoddy cup game is now going to have a great crowd and buzzing atmosphere to welcome Paul Sturrock.  The Swindon Town rollercoaster continues, reckon promotion is now back on the cards.

I'm over the moon.

I agree with you paul, i think the board should be given some credit for appointing someone that both the fans want and the club need.

Wise leaving could have been the best thing to happen to us in a long time. We've now gone from relatively unknown, unproven, but clearly good manager, to a proven, accomplished manager.

What a rollercoster this season has been!

I am delighted we have Sturrock on board, however:

I don't think anyone 'demanded' that the Board appoint Nijholt.

I don't see that appointing Nijholt would have been 'ridiculous'. I think he could have done a great job.

And why do you use the word 'prematurely'?

In fact the only words you have typed which are not total crap are..."Nijholt as manager after an article". Kindly delete the rest.

i used the words prematurely as people did email starnes stating they wanted nijholt as manger after an article in the adver.that in my opinion was a premature reaction!and i am glad he wasn't appointed.

I just 'met' Paul Sturrock. He was on a pre-press conference tour of the ground with (I think) Stairnes and entered the club shop just as we were about to leave.

 Had to do a double take, welcomed him to a Swindon and wished him luck. All with the composure of a giggling schoolboy  :-))(

There was nothing "premature" about it. Its not hard to find out what Nijholt had been up to and what his pedigree is. Its on this thing called the internet.
