I hope if / when Malpas goes then Byrne is dispensed of as well, I don't blame Ady as he is a young in-experienced coach (and also got a playing contract).
I'd like to see someone brought in, a big name hopefully that has seen it and done it, I don't buy this that they will be off as soon as something else comes along as they need to have success first and foremost.
We can't really afford to take our time appointing someone though as we don't want to slip into the bottom 4.
But the merry go round is in full swing so there are enough decent managers available.

I am looking forward to finding out which new manager we all get to bitch about.

Fucking hell not Byrne PLEASE!!!!
Come on AF now is the time to get a name in to "unite the clans" sorry fans. A clear out would be the best for all.
Shame if MM does goes, I don't have anything against the bloke personally, unfortunately he just was cut out for the role.

When/if Malpas goes clear the decks - get rid of Williams/Byrne as well

I think Malpas is a good coach and will get a decent job in that area, the same as Kingy really, he was never ever a manager but a good coach/scout. He's found a good job utilising his expertise and I'd expect Malpas to do the same.
I reckon Fitton's probably got someone lined up already so I'd expect our caretakers stay to be brief. Although I will refer to an old post I made saying that we need to get Holloway in before the Leicester game as old managers tend to haunt previous clubs - and I'd like some serious haunting to go on on Saturday!!!!
Back in 93 I got some serious hassle from some Leicester fans at Wembley, saying that though I was a pretty annoying 20 year old back then - fearless and gobby and drunk!!! Christ I just had to edit this post as I got my age wrong..... getting old is what does it...

I have supported MM since day one and as a person I am gutted to see him lose his job after uprooting his family etc to the area. Genuinely as a person I am absolutely gutted for him. He always treated me with respect. During the team photo shoot he was talking to BBC and came over and said good to see you again really was a top man.
As a Swindon Town supporter he had to go, we werent going anywhere, We have a good squad but he has somehow with Byrne and Williams managed to turn us into a shocking and gutless team. I am very hopeful we get a motivator now as MM was very soft spoken who can take us forward. We have a squad more than capable of being in the top 10. The players will want to play for a new manager. DONT expect results right away if Byrne and Williams are in charge though (which I am lead to believe they wont be) , Williams and Byrne are part of the problem. The results will come when the new manager comes in.
Reality is MM will likely never get another managerial job, his record is poor at best but will get a coaching job somewhere in Scotland I expect. As a person I wish MM all the best, as a fan I would say good riddance and lets now do a spurs
UP THE TOWN!
A top post - anyone who has lost their job will know the pain but this had to happen. Hope he gets a coaching job in Scotland.

Put it this way if a club is willing to give Iffy Onuora a job after what he did here, I would say there is a fair chance Malpas may get another job in football

Whoever's appointed, I think it's crucial that as fans of the club we put the boot in right from the off and continue to give him a real kicking at every given opportunity, no matter how tenuous or ridiculous.
