Also 3's an awful admission of lack of football knowledge.  Anyone who bought a panini sticker album in the late 80's early 90's should have no excuse for not hearing of MM, especially the Mexico 86 and Italia 90 editions.

But fish away.

I've probably still got 10 of Mo, and about 20 of Zico somewhere in my old man's loft.

Agree with Juddie's point that his appointment just felt a little bit out of step with everything that was going on at the club.  Not always the right way to go about it though, letting your heart rule your head.

Vital Swindon Town did our part to support MM by sponsoring him starting today!

Also, if you read MM profile on the OS then that puts it in to perspective more. We are quite lucky to have him and there are some people out there who should maybe realize that.

I see no reason why he should be getting stick. Avram Grant could be said to be of a similar nature as MM in the way he's quiet, possibly not dynamice enough, but Grant still got Chelsea within 1 kick of winning the Champions League. The football we are playing at the moment is the best we have seen in years. Consistency is the key. How would you compare this SQUAD to the one which last got in the play offs?

In all honesty we have a better squad than the play off season. Matt Hewlett is not in it for a start.

But having a good squad means nothing, the likes of Forest, Sheff weds etc all had great squads for several years before they got out of this league.

To be fair Wednesday only spent a couple of seasons in this league, and they might have got out of it a bit quicker if they could have got a few of that good squad out of the treatment room and onto the pitch a bit more regularly.

 Interesting point...the strength of 03/04 was obviously Mooney and Parkin, with Fallon as back up. You'd have to say better than Cox and Paynter...with Corr as back up.

 Eyeglue was a tricky winger although he didn't want to play there, obviously not in McManatee's class, but experienced at the level and effective.

 Midfield, for all his detractors and I was certainly one, Matty Hewlett had a decent season, again by then an experienced pro....Craig Easton is better, Michael Timlin who knows, but he's certainly started well.

 Lard boy showed some potential, is Timlin capable of being better?

  Migs gave us 30 odd games....he was class, but as we know injury prone...Nalis is as good but can he do a season?

 At the back we had a young Jerel for a bit and Matty Hoofwood and then Judas O'Hanlon...we're stronger this season I'd say....Rhys Evans had a good season and if MM could accept the evidence of his eyes Phil Smith is better.

 Full backs? Infuriating as he was at times I was a Gurney fan...you need a bit of thuggery on occasions...he could also play a bit.  He'd be better than J Smith or Amankwaah.

 Daisy at left back or sometimes Nicho......seems we have a similar problem, a weakness.

 Would be a good game if those two sides met....
