New Managers rumour thread

[Arriba]

Does he though? His investment and Swindon's financial stability isn't dependent on promotion. In fact would it be that much more difficult to run the club at a minimum loss from League Two?

fitton has stated he wants us in the championship.maybe stabilty isn't a problem but a club should be ambitious.fitton is from what i've read and heard

If we were at the top end of League Two and winning every week we'd probably bring in more money from ticket sales.

Plus, with being top of that league we'd be more likely to get our mugs on TV as well.

The novelty would soon wear off and attendances drop after a season in there though. Trips to Morcambe, Acc Stanley, Macclesfield etc on a regular basis are hardly appealing.  The amount of away fans at the CG would be appalling as well so think we'd make more money in this league especially with the odd big team such as Leeds and Leicester bumping up attendances.

I agree with the ambition but I don't think there has to be a race to get there. Malpas didn't work out, but I don't think that suddenly means it's time to desperately buy our way up the leagues.

Stable success might mean taking more punts on Malpas style cheap managers until one works, or at least until things are in order off the pitch.

There's a lot to sort out at the club on and off the pitch, things haven't worked out for with Malpas but that doesn't mean the last 10 months have been a waste of time. Even if you do put a time limit on the promotion plan (3 years), then getting the team right is something you do at the end of that plan. It would have been nice if it had have worked out of course, but it's not the end of the world.

i'd be happy with steady progression year by year.i didn't mean throw huge sums of money at it either.but whatever he chooses he has lost money as malpas will be paid something,and the new man will be earning.
not its not the end of the world but we are at square 1 again.

We're not at square 1 though, well presuming that Fitton really has been sorting out the behind the scenes mess. The backroom stuff may be hidden, but it makes success on the pitch more likely.

I've heard it could be Big Ron.

whats on offer on the pitch aint progressed thats what i meant by square 1.look at malpas's signings,poor.
league postion,poor.cup progress,poor.
key players form,poor.
we now need to find a new boss as malpas has failed in his job.

the foundations within the club are stronger than they have been for years.the team is as poor as it's been since iffy's reign.
luckily the squad is stronger now.the right boss can help acheive the potential the club now has
