FITTON: THE LATEST UPDATE
Posted on: Fri 19 Dec 2008
Swindon Town FC Chairman Andrew Fitton has announced that he will take some time over the weekend to reconsider the options for the appointment of a new manager at The County Ground and if necessary take steps to re-start the process, following a frustrating week of trying to finalise an appointment.
The Club has undertaken an exhaustive process having received approximately 50 applications from prospective managerial candidates and has interviewed, in some cases several times, around 12 of the applicants.
An announcement was expected in the current week, however in the final stages it proved more difficult than originally anticipated to negotiate acceptable terms for the candidate to leave his current club.
"We are determined to find the right man to lead STFC for the foreseeable future and we couldn't have gone through a more rigorous process in selecting a suitable candidate," Fitton said.
"Given the circumstances I feel that the Board of Directors needs a few days to review the process and to re-consider some of the available candidates - the truth is that there are new names still throwing their hat in the ring as managers become available.
He added: "We remain determined to find the right person for the post.
"Swindon Town is seen as an attractive club for a manager and whilst the process may have become protracted at the same time no one will thank the Board if we get this appointment wrong."

I know it's probably not the case, but from my very tired and just-wanting-this-to-be-fucking-completed point of view, it doesn't seem that they've got a fucking clue about what they're doing.

think Fittons and the boards lack of experience in running a football club is really showing now. This ain't some normal business where you can place a job advert and have a starting date 2 months later. I wouldn't be surprised if this period of instability sees us relegated.

I can see why they're doing what they're doing but at the end of the day if they keep failign to realise we're in a relegation battle we could lose more and more ground.
They're being too cautious IMO.

Fitton's yearly appraisal:
8/10 - off pitch/financial management
4/10 - on pitch football related management.
That is all.

It;s all very well looking after the long term, but the short and medium term need to be planned for. At this rate our short term is looking a little shakey, to say the least.

I fear you maybe right the next 3 games are MUST win. Yeovil, Orient and Brighton win all 3 and we pull away lose all 3 and we will be in the bottom 4 at the turn of the year and you know what happened the last time that happened. Also the new guy is not going to have these games to assess the squad before Jan where before you know it all the decent loans and frees are gone. |

He can't keep blaming 'unlucky' last minute winners/equalisers forever. |
