Excellent....means if someone wants to poach him they'll need to pay.

Shows how integral Williams is to Power's (personal) business plan
Without Williams, you can't polish up prem rejects or non-leaguers for cash
Imagine Williams will cut a cut of transfers too
Great news for the Club & fans though

And if you're being less cynical, you'd say the appointment and Powers statement are seriously impressive.

Looks like Power will be sticking around for a while then.

At face value, that statement is one of the most positive and refreshing things I've read from this club in a long time.
Sure, you can load it with cynicism, doubt and cries of "where's the all the money gone though", but I'll leave that for others.

It is a show of confidence in Luke Williams from the board of Swindon (Power).
Williams has always been unsackable and even with this length of contract is a no brainer from the club.
If we carry on doing well then his stock continues to rise and any compensation offer would be large, if we go into a slump then we appoint a manager above him then he is still employed as head coach.
Makes sense all round.

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.

That's almost like an old skool Friday statement....except it's good to read. OK it might well turn to shit, but at least it looks like we have some sort of coherent policy for the medium term future. |

Seems like a sensible decision for me. The guy has done a fantastic job here for a few years now and deserves his shot. 5 years though... blimey. That is a huge show of faith.

Really pleased about that. A good read.
Apart from the fucking white text on a black background hurting my eyes.

When was the last time we kept a manager for 5 (or more) years?
