we all need a distraction now and then, idle speculation is mine...

i'd go for nijholt. i live in the hope that he'll bring a breath of fresh air to the club with some different ideas, getting us to play some nice passing football but with determination and grit at the same time. whilst his links might be minimal across the uk, he'll have contacts in europe - i doubt allen would.

i live in a vague hope the takeover goes through and we have a new beginning both on and off the pitch...

(ooh shaun taylor for assistant)

cotterill

Nijholt for manager, Martin Jol as assistant, and OST for youth coach. Fatbury might be able to do a job as well, GK coach maybe?

I give you your STFC management dream team......

i like mad dog for his notoriety (we'd become hated), but cotterill is the only one of those with any genuine pedigree, so i choose him.

Cotterill without doubt, no way do i want Martin Allen here.

bizarrely i'm starting to become slightly tolerant of allen. you fuckers have worn me down.

can we still go behind the dugout and go "alllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn"

Allen or Cotterill

Other-definitely

none of them lot and no one thats been linked with the job so far.

Those guys have no league one promotions between them.

We need someone to be here longer than 12 months . I dont think that man is allen

What experience has this 'other' bloke got?

I've never fucking heard of him!

he has at least 6 fans so far which is more than Allen and Taylor put together!

My head says Cotterill, but my heart says Nijholt.

We know what we'd be getting with Cotterill, and it's pretty safe. But I like the randomness of Nijholt. And as supporting Swindon is clearly not a logical thing, I'm going with the passion of my heart. Nijholt it is.

I just need to ring up my mates on the board and give him the green light.

Exactly the same thought process i went through!  :wink:

The only problem i have with Cotterill is that he's supposidly Cheltenham through and through. His heart may not be in it managing STFC. Having said that though he's the best equiped candidate.

On the plus side no matter how Cheltenham he is if the Cheltenham job came up he wouldnt possibly leave Swindon to go there...would he?

Yes i think he probably would.

Your name makes me properly hungry

Nijholt is the one to bring warmth and edam at half time to the Winners.

Is not the thread where I did my heart not my head speech? There's too many threads.

Iffy cooks them best  :wink:

i like nijholt purely for the way he played. we were in the shit from day one yet he never changed his style, he just tackled a bit harder, we need that.

This is probably rubbish but look at this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/DAN/606/A29777890

This guy says that apparently a reliable source from truststfc has leaked information saying that Steve Cotterill will be installed as the new manager by the end of the week.

Wasnt that Fred Elliot? :D
