Adver reporting that Goalkeeping Coach John Granville has been axed.
TOWN goalkeeping coach John Granville has become the latest to receive the County Ground axe, the Swindon Advertiser can exclusively reveal.
The Trinidadian arrived at Swindon in July 2007, but has paid the price for the poor form of stoppers Peter Brezovan and Phil Smith, who both made a series of high-profile errors, as Town finished the season with the fifth worst defensive record in League One.
Granville follows first team coach Ady Williams in heading for the exit, along with 13 out-of-contract players, as manager Danny Wilson makes a clean sweep of his playing and backroom staff in preparation for the 2009/10 season.
The Advertiser understands Granville was informed of the decision on Tuesday by Wilson, and cleared his desk before saying his goodbyes at the County Ground yesterday to end his two-year spell in Wiltshire.
Town chief executive Nick Watkins confirmed the decision, admitting Wilson is keen to bring in a new coach as soon as possible.
He told the Advertiser: “The manager came in and inherited a back office team, and because of the situation we were in, had no opportunity or desire to make any changes.
“But looking to next season, and like any manager coming into a new club, there is always a danger of change.
“Danny’s view was that we had been shipping far too many goals, and that it is an area that needs a lot of focus and attention.
“For that, he wanted his own man and someone he felt he could work with more closely in terms of goalkeeping issues.
“John is a delightful man and I want to thank him for what he has done, and wish him well for wherever the future may take him.”

You can only get a termination after 24 weeks in special circumstances.

Celebration time!!
It was blindingly obvious that both our keepers weren't getting the correct coaching.

A good coach should get the best out of a player though? |

I've no idea why both our keepers lost form for so long.
But if Wilson thinks he needs to make changes for the good of the team then so be it.
