He says "I don't want to get involved in the other side of it." which is fair enough ,so keep quiet you fucking mong.Its easy for him to say "stay foucused on football things and positives" blah fucking blah,we've had to think about the other things for 5 or 6 years, more in fact.
I'm pretty sure there isnt one supporter that wouldnt rather not have to think about all this crap and would rather concentrate on how wonderfull it is to sign lots of free Wednesday rejects but we've lived with the pending death of this football club for to long to be able to air on the optomistic side of things like I think he suggests we should.
Grrr he really fucks me off :x Exactly the only thing I can compare it to is when STFC Gazza was going I hate the politics and posting in the boardroom section every day. Yes they are his employers but he can choose not to comment on it thats the simple thing for me. I would love to concentrate on the football side and not worry that our club is being shafted by these crooked cunts. |

Sturrock can hardly say 'no comment' if he's asked questions about the finances etc, otherwise the Adver could run with 'Sturrock refuses to back the board'.
We're only 24 hours or so from the CVA deadline, so Sturrock's really the last person any criticism should go to at the moment.

as good a manager as Sturrock is .. why does he keep sticking up for this lot? Because they pay his wages, possibly? |

I don't like him one little bit, but I think with the right backing he'd do vwery well for the club. He's clearly been contacted by the Adver so has to say something without causing panic or talking about things he probably has little interest in.

He's clearly been contacted by the Adver so has to say something without causing panic or talking about things he probably has little interest in. That pretty much sums it up for me, I'm not really a fan of Sturrock and don't really like him or his tactics but he is better than King so should hopefully guide us to a midtable finish. He was probably just rang up by the adver late last night so had to say something, but I understand peoples issues with his comments. For a man who has said on many occasion he doesn't like the politics he does seems to get involved in them here. But that is probably due to the fact he hasn't yet been shafted by the current regime and has no idea about their abject failure over the last 6 years. |

Exactly how has he got involved in them? he said he is not worried |

Don't know, it's something to do with his personality, style of management, previous teams etc. He just grates me.
That's just a personal opinion on the man though, I still reckon he's one of the better managers we've had and will get results for us.

Why don't people like Sturrock? So they can be first to say "I told you so" when he goes? I don't know why this has caused so much annoyance... It's such a generic/nothing interview. Sturrock does not support Swindon. If his bosses, who are in regular contact with him state that "there is no problem" - then he's going to go along with it. I feel sorry for Sturrock on this topic - because by backing the board a large chunk of the fanbase dislike then it's going to cause friction. Once/if a takeover occurs - he'll say the same about the new board too. Fact. |

I'd like to add that his interviews regarding the boardroom have nothing to do with my dislike of him. I fully appreciate the position he is in and it would be a big hole to fill should he leave.

I don't understand the dislike of Sturrock. That fans forum swung it for me, the bloke 's a comedy genius and a good fucking manager.

Actually I walked away from the first fans forum ,the one upstairs thinking he was alright.He was engaging and humerous at that meeting.But since then his interviews paticulary the radio ones that has put me off him,I dont buy the Old School Scot ,poor mans Fergie,moaning,excuse making im the "gaffer" crap.Hes become completely charmless...and no that doesnt make him a bad manager just one that I feel no iffinty or loyalty to simple as that. |

I agree his media interviews are a little uninspiring, but I still liek the bloke.
Not because he's Scottish but I genuinely believe when he gets the players he wants we'll have a decent team!

Let's say for the sake of argument we do survive this, get a mystery investor or whatever. If Sturrock doesn't act now by saying stuff like this we could miss out on a few players who could be put off by talks of the potential CVA failure/Bill Power legal action etc.
Sturrock's just trying to steady the ship in order to carry out his job and make life a bit easier for himself. I don't see the problem with that myself. He hasn't exactly spoken to the fans in a way that Andonikoid has.
That said the timing of it is a bit crap, but as others have said, that could just be down to the Adver trying to sniff out a 'story'.
