If he was hired as manager I think I'd like some of what Jeremy Wray was smoking.

No way the board will take such a risk in what is a huge season for the club.

I think we should give Bodin a chance. In his two games (which admittedly were worthless) he got us a win and a good first half performance. He's done well with the youth team and is town through and though.
Do we really want a manager who doesn't really care about the town?

What, like Macari, or Ardiles, or Hoddle? Yes please. |

They might if they think it will put bums on seats. Personally I'd go for an experienced man. But lets be honest, this is a guff anyway. It won't be Di Canio. |

I find the rumour pretty stunning, if the appointment were to happen i would need to be peeled off the floor.

I'm staggered by the number of our fans who still rate a Swindon connection as an important attribute for a future manager. Why?! Please, why? The only recent examples of managerial appointments with a previous connection that I can think of are Jimmy Quinn and Iffy Onoura. Top blokes, both of them...who did a great job for us as players. But as managers, they were duds. The managers in hertha's list were thoroughbreds by comparison. I'm not saying that a Town connection should prevent a candidate from putting themselves forward. All I am saying is that if, for example, Paul Bodin never had scored that penalty at Wembley - or if Paul Trollope was not a Town fan - would we be considering these chaps for the post. If the answer is yes...then great. But you have to put the blinkers on and ignore such romantic considerations when making an appointment. |

I'd agree the Town connection is irrelevant. Fact is any manager will leave to go to a bigger club. Even Bodin. Equally if it all goes tits up they may get a bit more time out the fans but ultimately it'll end the same way as every other unsuccessful manager. But maybe with sadness rather than animosity. It would be great to be successful under one of "our own", but quite frankly its more important just to get success - without heart ruling the head. |

He said: “I don’t like to say the name of the club, not a big club. It was a good situation for me and it made me feel positive, but I prefer to wait.”
If he turned a league 1 club down (possibly us) why would he come this time round?
Because he was interviewed for the Newport county job and was gong to take it until his father became ill, we are bigger than them...just |

Di Canio? Newport County? Where did this come from? |

Newport aren't a league 1 club. Read the article.  |

That story is from early April. Meaning in all likelihood it happened in March, when Wilson resigned. How many other league 1 clubs were looking for a manager in March?
