Title: re. Shirtliff Post by: michael on Monday, June 15, 2009, 18:17:32 I wonder if there will be an announcement this week?
I have said before that I would like there to be one signing a week until the new season: I include coaching staff in that. But what excites me right now is that tomorrow I will learn the Carling Cup Round 1 (South) draw, then on Wednesday I will learn the season's fixtures. Anything else this week will be a bonus :) Title: Re: re. Shirtliff Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, June 15, 2009, 18:28:21 I hate off season.
Sorry but I have nothing more interesting to add. (How ironic). That's not I dig at michael in particular but I just facking hate off season. Title: Re: re. Shirtliff Post by: michael on Monday, June 15, 2009, 18:29:55 Oh no, don't be like that, the next two days will be wonderful.
I have booked myself into a meeting from 10am - 12pm on Wednesday to ensure I fully absorb the fixtures announcement. Title: Re: re. Shirtliff Post by: Rich Pullen on Monday, June 15, 2009, 18:31:08 I'm no fan either but pre-season picks up in July.
June is always dull. Title: Re: re. Shirtliff Post by: michael on Monday, June 15, 2009, 18:35:25 As an aside, when does pre-season training start?
I saw Ifil in the gym earlier. I think his workout was even easier than mine, and that is really saying something. Title: Re: re. Shirtliff Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, June 15, 2009, 18:36:03 2 weeks I think.

Not quite as bad, as several of us london based reds, meeting up thursday for a few beers and to run over them! Title: Re: re.

Title: Re: re. Shirtliff Post by: Peter Venkman on Saturday, June 20, 2009, 10:41:44 Quote Meanwhile, the Advertiser understands Town will complete the capture of new assistant manager Peter Shirtliff next week. The former Sheffield Wednesday defender, who played alongside Swindon boss Wilson at Hillsborough, left his post with Tranmere earlier this month. Rovers announced he was on his way to the County Ground, but Town have so far refused to comment on the speculation. However, it is believed Shirtliff will be in place as Wilson’s number two inside the next seven days. Title: Re: re. Shirtliff Post by: Kinky Tom on Saturday, June 20, 2009, 10:46:48 Interesting choice of words eh, Shrtliff and number two - sounds messy. :moon:
Title: Re: re. Shirtliff Post by: The Professor on Saturday, June 20, 2009, 15:29:39 Talking to a couple of Mansfield Town fans at work (yes, they do exist) and they had some complimentary things to say about Shirtliff. Very pleasant man, used to chat to the fans & very approachable. He was very good at organising the team and so I'd hope that the Town's defence will be a bit more solid that in was last season. I believe that under his influence Tranmere had a good defensive record last year - with Greer on board & Shirtliff to sort out who is responsible for what defensively then maybe Swindon could be in for a good season.
