Im with Jonny.

Well I bet they are going to drag it out, say (and make it look like) that they followed all options - all of which lead to dead ends, and the only option available is to do the cheap thing right thing and leave Bryne in charge until the end of the season

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Well Holloway is a gashead, thats pretty twatish you must admit!

Meh! Paul Trollope is a Town fan. That's a FACT by the way.

I suppose what we are forgetting is that AF, acomplished business man that he is, complete with bollocks the size of footballs, is in fact pretty green when it comes to appointing managers (as in football managers that is, as opposed to the regular business world) It is a whole different ball game and it must be a steep learning curve for him.

Whatever. I didn't even mean Dowie and Holloway specifically. 'Just get some fucker in there and stop messing around' was really my point.

I am really struggling to think of anything which makes either of them even remotely deserving of the epithet 'fucking twats'. I reckon Jonny has had at least 4 Stellas in the last hour or so.

Well they both look weird, possibly due to inbreeding.

Holloway is from Bristol, has a funny accent and his desperation for the Swindon job is embarrassing.

Dowie made himself look pretty dumb over the Palace / Charlton saga, along with a hefty bill at the end of it. He thinks a lot of himself and other than a decent spell at Palace he hasn't really done much as a manager.

I'm surprised by the number of people questioning my labelling of them as twats, I thought it was widely acknowledged and accepted as being a fact. My mistake.

Yeah Holloway's an idiot, I mean he really wants to be our next manager, what a cock eh?

Okay so IH didn't follow protocol in his TE visit, but bloody hell all he did was turn up at a town match.

We could do a lot worse than Holloway (although as I say, my original point was not that we should specifically appint him)

We could for example, bollocks around for five weeks making people (like myself) think we know exactly what we're doing when in fact, we are just pissing in the wind and and after the afore mentioned five weeks of bollocksing around, we are actually contemplating starting the whole thing all over again.

Fuck me

You know I was being sarcastic there OST don't you?

Yes ineed McSporran. I was actually agreeing with you. As you say, he turned up at a Swindon game in teh Town End. Big deal. What's he done wrong?

In some ways this forum (and internet forums in general) can be quite frustrating as things can get misinterpreted (some times quite badly)

There's no substitute for some goody chummy banter and a few beers down the pub. Then we all know were we stand - no awkward misunderstandings!

I suppose we don't know what he has done to rule himself out. Personality clash, asked for too much money, wanted a big transfer kitty, who knows. Same with any of them really.

I guess after my earlier disappointment/frustration I can understand that if the right person isn't available then he isn't available. Earlier thought of "what the fuck are they playing at" have turned to "we don't know the ins and outs so stop whining like a bitch Batch and go with the flow".

As Hethab said earlier, all we can do is get behind the team during this crucial period.

It is certainly true to say that we really, really, really, really, really need to win tomorrow.

Big time.

The quality of performance could not be more irrelevant.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

I'd take a shit 1-0 that's for sure.

[STFC Village]

I don't know why, but i'd be really happy if we got Hockaday.

Having said that, i'd be pleased with Holloway/Money/Dowie, just wish we'd get a move on and appoint someone

[deltaincline]

I'm surprised and pissed off in equal measures that we are still fucking around with appointing a new manager.

Nick Watkins was apparently a recruitment guru in a previous life and Andrew Fitton is an international busineesman who, presumably, knows a thing or two about how to appoint decent staff, yet they're both still fucking around seemingly unable to make a decision.

If this was happening under the devious-previous  board, everyone would be going off on one accusing them of incompetence.

I'm really worried that we're just trying to get someone in on the cheap. Too many names seem to get mentioned, they glow red-hot for a while, then just fade away. I've had nothing but respect for Fitton to date - still have, but he needs to pull his fucking finger out on this as we're flirting in the relegation zone and look like a club who cant afford to pay the wages of a half-decent manager.

Given the latest news I would say it is odds on we will get one of the late contenders, i.e. Ince/Wilson/Speed/Hockaday.

It seems to me that Money and Calderwood are not able to join because of their respective clubs not agreeing with the transfer, Ince and Wilson have been sacked since and would probably jump at the chance given the circumstances and Speed would take it given the circumstances with his injury.  Hockaday would take it because he hasn't had a crack at management yet.  

Still an absolute farce with the amount of time that it has taken and the amount of press releases/speculation that has happened, and really does make a mockery of the club, whether we have a new board or not.  As much as I back AF and the gang, I wonder if he would be quite as happy watching this debarcle taking place at one of his other business interests other than Swindon Town FC.  Probably the only reason he is getting away with it is because 1.) As we all know he has saved our club so deserves the right to fuck things up now and again and 2.) We are all used to the same old shit happening in the past so why not let AF get away with it aswell.

Having said that. if anyone is asking why are we having so mauch trouble employing another manager, ask yourself would you want to work for a club, or let your member of staff go to a club that is conducting itself in a mannner in which we have witnessed over the past 5 weeks?

As much as I love AF and Co for saving our club, it has got to the point now where I am starting to wonder what the fuck is going on?
