BBC Swindon this morning

[STFC_Gazza]

Now here is a surprise name, but likely complete rubbish… LOU MACARI… now he has a proven track record here.. Someone text me to say he is the favourite although I think its rubbish. Fitton has said you don’t go back although he has been bringing back names from the past. Personally I think Lou’s job with MUTV would keep him there…

PROS

-Instant hit with the fans
-Would re-unite fan base
-Would get bums in seats
-Fitness would improve tenfold.

CONS

-Not managed since Huddersfield in 2001
-Does he still have it?
-Easy choice
-You never go back

So Malpas was shit because he was unenthusiastic and seemed not to care (amongst other things), yet byrne is shit because he's enthusiastic and passionat (amongst other things).

Theres no fucking pleasing some people!

[pauld]

No chance of a win tomorrow with Byrne in charge thats for sure!

No, not at all, after all we never won last time he was in charge did we? Just an idea, but maybe try getting behind the team/caretaker/new manager when appointed. Or we could all wait and see who's appointed then put the boot in right from the start like people did with Malpas. That'll help

[blinkpip]

Ill be pissed of with Macari, it just wont work.

[jimbob]

I can't stand Byrne, the bloke is a prize idiot.  Just his general attitude is shite.  I remember when we did that members lounge thing he left the room saying "I suppose I better get back to those idiots down stairs" etc.  Old school knob jockey, who should be out on his ear as I feel he, and the rest of the coaching staff, let MM down badly.

MM let himself down imho and if Byrne etc...were letting him down then MM should have had the bollocks to approach fitton and get in his own backroom staff....still lets not focus on the negatives as I am now looking forward to watching the town again now he has gone....I'm not expecting miracles but if we bring in someone like holloway, at least we can expect honest and entertaining post match interviews

[jimbob]

Anyone know if this is live on RS ?

yep

[A Gent Orange]

Anyone know if this is live on RS ?

They said it would be during the 11 news.

Exactly. Spot on dave

[flammableBen]

The players are shit too. I hope they've all been sacked. Especially Ifil.

I think you;ve just highlighted why manager's aren't shit just because they are loud or quiet, you can be either and good, or either and shit.

Don't really understand your argument there Davido.

[herthab]

I'd be happy with a miserable cunt who never smiled, spoke to the press, or acknowledged the fans. As long as he was successful.

I'd be equally happy with an over-the-top, gobby, hysterical fuckwit. As long as he was successful.

I pay to watch the team, not the bloke in charge.

Because so many people's beef with Bryne seems to consist of precisely just that - "he shouts and waves his arms so he's a moron". At least you had the decency to judge his coaching abilities on the basis of some random anecdote that apparently shows he's a "knobjockey"

Quite. The manager can juggle fucking seals on the touchline for all I care as long as he gets a performance and results out of the team

so do i, but does the team not reflect/represent the bloke in charge??

[flammableBen]

If a manager was juggling fucking seals on the touchline then I'd probably give him more time when it came to a run of bad results.
