Quote Full story for anyone who can't get on the OS Swindon Town have this evening pulled off a major transfer coup with the signing of Franchise midfielder Jon-Paul McGovern for an undisclosed fee. A lively winger who can operate out wide or through the middle, McGovern's arrival is a major boost to Paul Sturrock who had been chasing the player for some time. The 26-year old was a key cog in Paul Sturrock's Sheffield Wednesday side which won promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship and made over 60 appearances for The Owls during two seasons at Hillsborough. Article continues Advertisement McGovern began his career as a trainee at Celtic but after one season, he was released by the Scottish giants and subsequently signed for Livingston in July 2003 after a successful loan spell in England with Sheffield United. A promising season for 'Livi' saw Sheffield Wednesday come in for the midfielder who joined Paul Sturrock's squad in time for the start of the 2004/2005 season. He was an ever-present during the promotion winning campaign and scored the first goal at the Millennium Stadium to help secure promotion. The Glasgow-born midfielder has signed a contract until the close of the 2009/10 season and is expected to make his debut in Tuesday night's Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash with Brentford. Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: axs on Friday, August 31, 2007, 19:40:03 another ex-sturrock player from wednesday, he should know what he's like then.

now a bigger striker or a faster striker than what we have please 8) Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, August 31, 2007, 19:42:12 Thanks Batch
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, August 31, 2007, 19:43:54 Even though he's ex-Dons, he's a good player.
Well done Sturrock. Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, August 31, 2007, 19:45:44 Im happy
my sense of foreboding was indigestion :mrgreen: Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Bennett on Friday, August 31, 2007, 19:46:54 are you sure it's not the strange feeling not being in the pub at the start of the weekend?
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, August 31, 2007, 19:47:36 Could be mate
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: herthab on Friday, August 31, 2007, 19:47:38 This ties in with what a poster on thisis has been saying all day.
He said that Sturrock was in negotiations for a premier league striker (Youngster). League 1 striker. And League 2 midfielder. He also said that the league 2 midfielder was a definite. Well done that man! Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, August 31, 2007, 19:49:09 I am so fucking pleased !!!!!!
Obviously money has been made available I am so fucking pleased ! Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Jamie05 on Friday, August 31, 2007, 19:49:14 Now that is a good signing. Someone Sturrock knows well. And at least it shows that we are trying hard to get people in. Great competition in midfield now.
McGoldrick going to Port Vale doesn't help us much with Dobbie, but I reckon Sturrock has got another couple he's chasing and that we'll hear more later tonight. Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Ardiles on Friday, August 31, 2007, 19:51:28 Sounds useful. I'm sure we can forgive his Franchise past!
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, August 31, 2007, 20:01:17 Good signing - played in every game for the Dongs this season - scored for them on Tuesday against Sheffield Wednesday.
Can you hear the Bart-man sing? Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: axs on Friday, August 31, 2007, 20:04:32 noo -nooo
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: suttonred on Friday, August 31, 2007, 20:06:55 Whats even better is although he's good in his own right will push roberts on as well as they play in the same position

Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, August 31, 2007, 20:08:56 Here's some moocamp.com quotes...
Quote from: "Dong#1" absolutely gutted...... Quote from: "Dong#2" Really sad to see him go, thought he was one of our best players last season, ( he was the first Moocamp Player of the Season) and really a key part of the midfield. I hope we got good money for him. Thanks for all your efforts JP, really sad to see you go. Quote from: "Dong#3" Can't believe he's gone...to a club like Swindon Quote from: "Dong#4" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Quote from: "Dong#5" That is disasterous news that.. Quote from: "Dong#6" gutted to see him leave though as hes very talented and always does his best Quote from: "Dong#7" thats really p1ssed me off...... Quote from: "Dong#8" Absolutely gutted, but a sensible decision from both sides. He wasn't flourishing here consistency-wise which was far from ideal for him or us. Quote from: "Dong#9" Nooooooooooooooooo - When i first saw this thread i thought it was a wind up Quote from: "Dong#10" Im absoloutely gutted!!!! He was a legend in my opinion, and always gave 100 % for the team, no matter what the tactics were. Also deserves a medal for having the balls to stand up to Allen. Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: lebowski on Friday, August 31, 2007, 20:10:41 it's probably the equivalent of the o'hanlon money that's paid for him as well. ho ho ho.
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: herthab on Friday, August 31, 2007, 20:11:00 Saw all those Rich.
I posted thanks on there and also that he'll spend all his time on the bench (To wind them up) Didn't get one bite.......... :( Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: wheretherealredsare on Friday, August 31, 2007, 20:12:55 Amazing that! 10 dongs that can read AND write!
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: axs on Friday, August 31, 2007, 20:14:37 i just don't get it. why support dongs? why? why?. old news i know, just baffles me every time.

Radio interview with J-P McG on the OS - can't get it to work at the moment Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, August 31, 2007, 20:37:57 I am liking this !!!!

I know. That's pretty rich coming from a fan of a 'club like' Franchise. Who does he think he is? What a cunt. Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Crozzer on Friday, August 31, 2007, 22:59:46 He can play central midfield also, competition for Adams, Pook, Peacock, and Easton, besides Roberts? He looks like he was quarried.
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Lumps on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 08:23:14 The Wendy fans up hear really rated him, and there was a fair amount of disappointment when he was released.
He was one of the many victims of Dave Allens "I'm not giving new contracts to players with a history of injury" policy. Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Panda Paws on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 11:16:04 Was he out of the team at MK and available or did we go waving a nice fat wad of cash to prise him away??
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: lebowski on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 11:18:05 he was in their team. key player.
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 11:21:47 He'd played five game already this season apparently, sounds like he was a regular :shock:
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Panda Paws on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 11:21:50 Thought so but couldn't imagine Swindon actually buying another team's key player......it's not right!
Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Crozzer on Monday, September 3, 2007, 14:05:02 Son of John McGovern, captain of Cloughie's European Cup winning Nottingham Forest sides?
I remember a Forest supporter saying that he wasn't sure what John McGovern actually did, but when he wasn't in the team the midfield didn't seem to have a clue.

Title: jon paul mcgovern Post by: Luci on Tuesday, September 4, 2007, 13:38:05 Another view of JP from a Wednesday fan;
Quote Paul Sturrock is playing down your promotion aspects this season by saying it is a season of consoldiation. Well you now have tow of our most significant players when we were in League 1. JPM and Lee Peacock. These are two quality, quality players in this league. I would now say you have the best winger, the best striker and the best manager. So why not promotion. It is good to see JPM back in League 1. That is the bare minimum his talents deserve to be. I can only assume he was being paid a vast amount of money at Franchise, because when he left us, i am sure every League 1 club would have been injured, though his injury nightmare in his last season with us might have put a few off. If it had not bee for his injury problem in his final season i believe he would still be with us now. I would still have him in my team. JPM is a quality player, but also he gives 100 per cent every game and appreciated the fans who pay their money. He is a real crowd pleser and will have you on the edges of your seats. Probably the signing of the summer in League 1. How much did he cost? I wondered why he did not start for MK Donkeys the other day. Sturrock will get the best out of him. How long though until you come in for Lee Bullen?
