Quote
THREE candidates have thrown their hats into the ring to replace Paul Sturrock as Swindon Town boss, the Swindon Advertiser understands.

The trio, who include two former fans' favourites, declared their interest in the vacant County Ground post foday.

And another high-profile figure has indicated that he will formally apply for the role in the wake of Sturrock's return to Plymouth earlier this week.

 Meanwhile, Town have indicated that no decision will be made until the conclusion of Andrew Fitton's takeover bid.

See full story and exclusive interviews with the three candidates in tomorrow's Swindon Advertiser.


Chalky White
Luke Nijolt
&
Cotterill or Mad Dog

 Or fancy a job where you get a guaranteed 250K a year for say 3 years, but will probably do < 1, then get a sack of compo.

I will never be able to look at Chalky White the same way again after he got my dad so ridiculously drunk on shots at the legends ball that he locked me out of our room and fell into a coma like sleep which he refused to wake out of even with me and SSP banging the door down!  :-))(

 I can see clearly now.......didn't much like Nash at the time being more of a
 Dillinger and Leroy Smart,  Delroy Wilson, your cool operator.  
                                                                                                                           Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae, with backing bands sound systems,.... man.

  Nevertheless,  I now realise nowt wrong with a bit of pure pop.

Please not Allen  :(

Nijholt must be the preffered contender for me at this stage. Doesn't sound like Cotterill want's the job.

I hate MArtin Allen. He is the most qualified of the 3, but Cotterill has not ruled it out.

if Cotterill is scared of then its Luc all the way for me

I want Luc Nijholt at the moment, unless somebody better comes in. Shaun Taylor would be okay but I feel Nijholt has the better managerial experience, what with having been one and everything!

Why the fcuk would anyone want to apply for the job with the state of the club...it wouldn't even be managing with one arm tied behind your back, it would be like having both your ams and leg's tied up

Transer embargo
Possible points deduction
Possibility of club being wound up
Wages being paid late

The only plus point is there is still a possibility of a takeover

Get Nijholt in. I think it's worth the risk.
