Danny Wilson confirmed as manager

[STFC4LIFE]

But the thing is Ash, who would bring them back?

No matter who we appoint, someone will moan about it.
People would have moaned about Caldewood because of where Forest are, people would have moaned about Money because he isn't a name, Gary Speed has no managerial experience, I could go on and on.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

The only names that would have pleased absolutely everyone would have been those we had no more chance of getting than the man in the moon, i.e Allardyce, Curbishley..dream on. Other than that, whoever we got in would have led to the likes of Brian of Larkhill chucking in his season ticket before a ball had been kicked.

I am calm, just not thrilled or happy with teh appointmnet.  That simple? I know of my mates only 1 or 2 who would be going today, where as last year we filled a mini bus on boxing day.  Think many people have lost their interest in town at the mo and in my opinion teh appointment of Danny Wilson will not bring them back

Yawn, another excuse from the; 'I'm not coming back until...[insert latest excuse here]' brigade. What was the point of signing up for a season ticket if the only criteria for attending matches is if the manager's 'name' excites you 

[Bushey Boy]

ha ha, the reason I and many around me got one was we wanted to get teh magic 6,000.  I think ive been to enough matches home and away to have my say prick

Completely agree with this.

People will always go on saying "im not coming back until [insert excuse]" yet as soon as that excuse has gone, they will just make up another one. I would have been up for going to to a Swindon game today, but with my mates it was more about the fact that we all went to the Leyton game last year and its not a very fun drive to that part of London.

I pay my £250 or so for a season ticket not because of the manager, but to see the football and would go regardless of who was in charge - although obviously its been hard work over the last few months.

Also, why would you have filled a minibus to Yeovil on boxing day last year when we had just appointed the unproven Malpas.....?

[juddie]

just glad it's over. Good luck Danny, you'll have my full support. Come on the town!

[Rich Pullen]

He definately won't be coming into my workplace anymore now.

[Tails]

ha ha fuck me isnt this place where you can write a view? Well he wont be on the money Calderwood or Dowie was on is he?

People are allowed to disagree with you mate.

[Bushey Boy]

Yeah and you lot are allowed to not agree with my views? Thats a forum yeah?

[yeo]

Amazed that Fitton sat in the commentary box and had to take some stick from a few moron's texting in.I can't be sure but i dont know any other chairman who is so open with the fans like that,and also dont think sitting in the commentary box is below him,the only other chairman who i can think of who happen's to be like this is that oyeston fella at blackpool.

Good on you fitton saying that guy dont know nothing about football,one less mong if he's not renewing his ticket.

Sorry if that sounded harsh,but all i been hearing his cheap option/poor record etc etc,any old excuse to have a whinge whoever it would have been.

Fitton wants to buy the Townend a Drum,enough said.

[dell boy]

ha ha fuck me isnt this place where you can write a view? Well he wont be on the money Calderwood or Dowie was on is he?

You are probably wrong there: Firstly Dowie is out of a job and secondly Calderwood will be in 24 hours, so two on the dole and Danny Wilson employed. In 24 hours, compensation apart, Danny Wilson will be earning mega bucks compared to the other two!!!

Completely agree with this.

Probably because they had an air of hope last year.

Thouigh I think the reality is they are all settling down a bit and making babies ,isnt that right Ash ?

[Arriba]

aint trawled the thread but my opinion on the appointment.
fairly decent manager who i'm quite optimistic about, if not doing cartwheels across the lounge.

but,he isn't anywhere near fittons first choice.so how hard did he try to secure one of the others he went on the record of saying would all have been great for us?

[Ardiles]

Excellent appointment.  Very happy with it.  And I'm sure the majority will give Danny Wilson the welcome he deserves.

I'm not really surprised by some of the negative reaction to the appointment.  Frankly, some of our fans need to get a fucking grip.  We're Swindon.  We're the bedrock of the Football League, as middle-of-the-road as they come.  You should have realised that the day you decided you were going to support a proper club and weren't going to follow Chelsea on Teletext for the rest of your life.  And in that context, Danny Wilson is a good fit for us.

Happy Christmas to all, by the way.
