Ken Ryder?

[wheretherealredsare]

It's almost primordial, elementary that man will go back to his radioactive beach, deep sea vent or big bang shelter to get back to basics and try to unravel the puzzles thrown up by the search for the meaning of life and an effective formation for match day. A few days in the sand, sea or cave, depending on which theory you subscribe to, will see man emerge possibly clutching the answer to abiogenesis or how to beat Oldham as the case may be. There are two potential difficulties here. Firstly, it has been almost 4.5 billion years and still no unanimous consensus, so for hoMo Malpasiens to resolve matters in a few days seems unlikely. Secondly, he could have his head bitten off by a dinosaur (most likely Thisisosaurus Wrecks) as he steps blinking into the sunlight.

Ken Ryder is not even in football manager..

Good source of info there

Ex Wolves apparently...

[Luci]

I googled him and found nothing but then I couldn't be bothered to search through the pages.

Our OS doesn't say much about him apart form the Wolves bit.

They said it was football related luckily

So he may have been up there talking to some of his contacts, possibly players coming out of contract at the end of the season, maybe potential coaches?

Fucking hell Dundee's only an hour's flight it's not like his gone on a shopping trip to New York for a week.

I hope he's had a full set of jabs - wouldn't want him coming back from such a strange and exotic location with one of them funny foreign lurgies and spreading it round the players. It might affect their performance.

Byrne hoping Moses won't part with Town
By Jon Boyle
Comment
Assistant boss David Byrne is desperate for Swindon Town to keep hold of Moses Ashikodi for next season - as he believes the on-loan Watford striker is the new Jason Roberts.

The pacey 20-year-old Nigerian struck a sizzling hat-trick in the Robins' 6-1 thrashing of non-league Chippenham Town in the semi-finals of the Wiltshire Premier Shield on Tuesday.

And Byrne believes if the injury-plagued Ashikodi can stay fit, he could develop into a multi-million pound player similar to Blackburn's Premiership ace Roberts.

advertisementByrne said: "He hasn't had a pre-season for two years but if we can get him fit he's the sort of player who could be worth a lot of money -I think he's the new Jason Roberts.

"Whether he can come here permanently is something we'll have to sit down and talk about from now until the end of the season.

"I think he's out of contract in the summer but that's something we'll have to discuss with our board of directors and also with Watford.

"He's certainly did himself no harm on Tuesday."

Byrne feels Ashikodi could cause problems to any defence, and added: "People might say it's only against Chippenham but I don't think it would have mattered who he was playing against.

"He's one of these players that if you give him the opportunity by putting the ball in the right areas he can be a handful to anybody."

Byrne believes the powerful striker could be the answer to struggling Town's current goal-scoring woes - and was eager to fill in boss Maurice Malpas ahead of Town's home clash with Oldham on Saturday.

"Maurice wasn't at the game because of a prior engagement arranged a long time before he came here, but I'll be letting him know just how good Moses was.

"We're struggling to score goals at the moment and he's done what we've asked him to do by scoring a hat-trick, plus his link-up play was excellent too.

"And this week in training he's been as good as I've seen him. I just think he's starting to regain the levels of fitness that he needs and he's now starting to see the dividends come from it.

"All we can do is report back and then obviously we'll take it from there, but he's done his first team prospects no harm at all."

I wasn't replying to you bud, just using your little bit of info to explain that he may have gone up for the good of STFC, not for a family reunion/piss up/time to reflect on his future/jump off the tallest building/to take a tour of Tannadice....

Fucking hell Dundee's only an hour's flight it's not like his gone on a shopping trip to New York for a week.

1 or 2 days back "home" will do him good, recharge the batteries and all that.

Not the point, he shouldn't need to recharge, should be in hyper mode. Theres only 92 blokes who get the chance to manager a professional football club in England.

If you have a winning formula and a good back-up team then great take a deserved break, but that is a no and a no on both accounts, so roll up your sleeves and sort the problem out, and problem is here in Swindon not in bloody Dundee.

Hes a human, not fucking robocop. If taking a two day break allows him to think up new tactics/ideas away from the spotlight then its all well and good. Its not as if the whole backroom staff have decamped to australia
