You didn't have a reference so you must be lying.

The sky sports link I posted quotes

Fitton told the Swindon Advertiser: "Colin Calderwood has always been on our list but we have not approached him.

"He is in a job and it would not be right to put pressure on that. For his sake I want Colin to keep that job.

"If he was not in a job, we would invite him to join the shortlist, but he has certainly not been approached.



On that basis I think we can add him to the list, unless he gets fired very soon
The "Calderwood has resigned but is staying on for 1 game" rumour was clearly bollocks

Fair point although a 'sauce' of mine from inside the club had indicated the same but will question mar these until nything more offical comes out

Its useful to see what we've all read over the past few weeks in one place

If it wasn't reported in The Sun then it hasn't happenned. A link to them is more definitive than a link to the BBC.

Is Dowie, Ollie and Ward now out? This article implies there are 4 candidates left all in employment elsewhere. Whether that is what Fitton meant (all of them are in employment) I don't know:

http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/wdp/sport/Swindon-Town-s-new-boss-delayed/article-539530-detail/article.html

edit:
and the adver "not a blow your socks off"

http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/3966839.New_boss_will__not__blow_your_socks_off/

Calderwood and Money may not be out according to the above article.

One candidate has withdrawn as he wishes to now go for a higher league club... better now than in 6 months - good riddance

Yeah, but two of them are working part-time, one delivering papers, one helping out at his local Oxfam shop

Looks very much like Money is on the shortlist from Fittons "no comment" when asked about him.

I'd be happy with him, did a good job at wallsall.
