Was talking to an old boy last night who is normally spot on with his info who said Dave Jones is being lined up to take over from Paolo if things don't improve. Just looked on Wiki and it says there Jones is in talks to work alongside Paolo as Director of football ?

Absolute bollocks IMO.

if this circus carries on i think he would be a very good appointment. However PDC is going no where for the time being

Could well be but interesting all the same.

Some fella from Barnet (apparently one of the coaches) was convinced last night PDC was on his way.  Needless to say its probably crap but was just odd how he seemed so sure.

He told me before ko so it's not jumping the gun regards the scuffle, actually think he said Paolo has been given six weeks.

I've always liked Dave Jones.

I can't see why he'd want to come here though, we're a bit below his level.

I agree Samdy, it just nows seems a bit of a coincidence with what was said and the wiki bits. This old guy is about 80 but he really does know his stuff. Maybe Paolo has got a bit twitchy because the club have mentioned getting someone in to help him. Could also be a stop gap for Jones.

True. He said on 5 live recently that he wanted to get back into football managing at championship level so can't see that he would want to join us, especially as a DOF.

Have heard this also from more than 1 source.

Do not htink it will happen yet though- but if we are not showing signs of moving up the table by the end of September expect it too.

The board expect a top3 finish and nothing less as do the investors- and so they should as well as the fans.

I would love a child molester (alleged but aquitted but theres no smoke without fire) at our club, wonderful.

Talking about a new manager shows what a worrying situation we are in. It's looking like the fears we all had that it could all go horribly wrong with Di canio may be coming to fruition. Bust ups with players,bizarre squad rotations,subbing players early on,no days off for the players,extreme training are not appearing to be working. Saturday infront of the sky cameras is now massive. Their viewing figures for a basement league game will be great for them now.

Would you prefer a child molester or a fascist at the club? How about we get both working together!

Fascist. No contest.

Except that Jones was found not guilty in a court of law and one of the main accusers has since admitted (whilst in jail on an unrelated matter) making the whole thing up for the compensation?

No smoke without fire is absolute bollocks.

It didn't even get to that stage Nemo, the judge thew it out and said it should never have even made it to trial.

My gramp was a massive Saints fan and he was devastated by what happened to Jones at the time.

The no smoke without fire comment is a play on words on his autobiography Nemo!

And did I or did I not say alleged but aquitted?

Ok, how about alledged child molester (not proven in court) versus fascist (confirmed)?

Should we throw a cheese smuggler into the mix?

Confirmed fascist, thank you.

I hear he does a wicked line in budgie smuggling too.

Its all totally irrivent anyway, we have a (confirmed) fascist in charge and we wont have a (alleged) child molester in charge, Jones would never come to this level, not least as DOF and we already have a manager, despite what some people think that PdC will be left after today.

If we had no manager then maybe Jones would consider us as a total outside shot, but I somehow doubt it.

This rumour has been put out purely to cause more unrest in the camp from anti PdC Swindon fans IMO.

Currently PdC is manager and thats the end of the subject. I am neither a PdC fan or a PdC hater but hes out manager so I will stick behind him until he is no longer manager, I have just had enough of the unrest caused by constant managerial changes at the club.

Yes only a rumour but not put out by an anti De Canio Swindon fan !

Is there a conspiracy of anti PDC Swindon fans? If so can one of them message me? I'd like to get involved, I'm sure I can do something to help.

What a load of bollocks.

Wiki also stated cannavaro had joined us and that was bullshit.

Believe what you want, even if it is bullshit.

Jesus fucking wept, we're five games in for fuck sake. Football's gone mad.

Corrected

Well I don't think anyone who thinks Di Canio won't be around much longer is mad at all. It was the first thought I had when we appointed him that however well or badly he did he wouldn't be hanging around for long. Let's face it, another 3 or 4 defeats will probably do it.

Could be the Dave Jones i know who works in Frattelo's.
I love it...most exiting its been since the Macari days,for me anyway,a manager and person who will do his own thing,good or bad,was going to play golf this season rather than watch the Town but the Paolo appointment soon changed that,the football purists are already slagging and knocking him...6 matches into his managerial debut,but i can tell you this if we win the next two matches the town will be buzzing because there are a lot of fans who are not so deep into the football politics that will love him.

I for one cannot wait for Saturday,and i didn't think i would be saying that two months back.
Been following for 40 odd years now and was sad to be thinking about knocking it on the head,granted the golf will suffer but fuck it.

Roll on Saturday and....Paolo Di Caniooooooooooooow!

well can we get rid of the fucking italian music then :gay:
