But According to the WDP:
Swindon Town have narrowed down their search for a new manager to four candidates and could have a new man in place by the start of next week.
The board are set to speak to the quartet on Wednesday and Town chairman Andrew Fitton is hoping to bring an end to the month-long search for a successor to Maurice Malpas before heading back to America on business next Monday.
The Daily Press understands that former Walsall manager Richard Money is on the list of candidates to be interviewed – but reports that the Newcastle academy director is to be appointed this week are believed to be premature.
Sources at the County Ground have also indicated that former Wales international and current Sheffield United midfielder Gary Speed is not among the candidates and that ex-Derby boss Billy Davies is one of a number of former Championship managers – who have been sounded out by Town – not interested in dropping down to League One.
Former Bristol Rovers boss Ian Holloway, ex-Cheltenham manager John Ward and former Swindon players Martin Ling and Colin Calderwood, now in charge at Leyton Orient and Nottingham Forest respectively, are among other names being linked with the post.
Caretaker boss David Byrne has indicated he would also like the job – although his chances receded further when Carlisle skipper Paul Thirlwell extended Town's winless run to nine games with an 88th-minute equaliser to deny Swindon a win at the County Ground on Saturday.
"My name is in the hat, but this is a results business," said Byrne, whose latest spell in charge has yielded four draws and a defeat.
"I have only lost one game in 12 when I have been in charge but it's another draw.
"Whoever gets the job, whether it is me, Ian Holloway, John Ward or whoever, they will have a great bunch of lads to work with.
"We should have had three points but we are not too far away, and I will carry on until further notice, until I am told otherwise."
Defender Jack Smith said the players are trying to put the speculation out of their minds as they look to turn the results around.
"We just get our heads down and get on with it," said Smith. "We are trying to do our best for Budgie (Byrne) at the moment."
So...the good old Western Daily Press haven't got a scooby do either.
No surprises there then
