I agree, yes if an ex player is the best candidate then all the better, but they often aren't the best choice
I prefer the "young manager making a name for himself in management" option, which Swindon have done well with in the past.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Combine the two and appoint Sam Parkin.

I think the old 'romance' of having a terrace favourite as boss (of any club) fades away more as the years go by. Especially at Swindon.

Agreed. I have mentioned his name before but I would go along the line of someone like Phil Neville. |

I find it amusing that Billy Bodin suddenly thinks he is king shit

It's a shame this appears to be ending with a sour taste after all Paul Bodin has done for the club. Whilst we don't have the full picture, a club legend deserves more respect than that article suggests he has received.

certainly doesn't sound as though PdC has a great deal of respect for Bodin sr. and the writing must be on the wall if he's been quoted correctly in the article.

The way I read the quote in the article, was that PDC suggests Billy Bodin turned his nose up at the contract being offered and as a result is not being considered a Swindon player as he technically isn't signed on. The way I saw it was that Bodin asked if he would feature regularly this season, to which PDC said no. I don't see that as a bad thing as you want to get out and play games, but it just seems PDC is trying to tarnish Bodin's image when all he has done is stated he wants to play regularly.

I dont read it as tarnishing Billy B's image - simply stating that the player has made his choice, decided to move on and consequently is no longer contracted as a ST player.
However, when he is quoted as suggesting that Dad had advised him not to sign and then was put out that Billy wasn't invited to training, this reads to me as PB won't be working with PdC much longer.
