Let's be honest, ordinarily Sherwood wouldn't look twice at a club like ours. If he wasn't Power's chum he wouldn't be here.
The chummy set-up isn't working. Staff and players don't appear to give a fuck - the fans likewise.
Power now has eyes on 2 other clubs - whatever 'passion' he has for STFC is going to be diluted.

It's obvious to Swindon Town fans who's 'in charge'. But for outsiders, well, it's a mess regardless.
Not all fans, from some of the messages I read. Even as a fan I think the whole thing a bit necessarily convoluted. Was it you that said "co managers". |

Eh? How?
You can't show your ability without a sense of will to win, allied to the fitness of mind and body to express yourself. Too many of our players, lack the fitness of mind and body, and have little will to win.....therefore are unable to demonstrate much ability as a footballer. |

Er, its a bit early for that. He's been here a week and hasn't got much to work with! I'd like to see him take proper control, get in the dugout, bin LW back to the training ground and go from there. But we'll see how it goes. |

Its a bloody odd setup. I scoffed at people last week who asked who the manager was. Sherwood, obviously, he's in charge of everything.
But he doesn't talk to the press, stays in the stands and passes who knows what to someone else to tell the players.
Seems like he wants to take all the decsions, but none of the responsibility. We've already got a team full of gutless bottlers, not sure we need another upstairs |

Fair enough, put like that, makes sense |

I'm waiting for wobbybob to say he's seen them on the motorway hard shoulder. Then that he's thrown a bottle of green piss at them. That's knee jerk  |

I say a lot of things  Sherwood does the majority but Williams hasn't been demoted so the 'co-' logic remains. |

In as much as the normal situation with Sherwood coming in would be Williams going out. Trying to keep everyone happy by an owner who is not at the club on a day to day basis is muddying the waters. |

I'm fairly sure that Sherwood won't be around for long..... |

Williams has been demoted, we all know that. They're just being diplomatic about it.
Personally I would also like to hear Tactics Tim's thoughts rather than Luke's, but that's just a personal preference. I also wonder if it might help the players if TT was in the dugout from kick-off.
Only 2 (league) games in so far though. I'm hoping we'll see less Rochdale and more Charlton. I had a look at the fixtures list earlier though and there's not many 'easy' games coming up.

Well, if you think that and if the players think that it's hardly surprising we've just been tonked by a non league team and another with 10 players missing. |

We can rule out complacency then. |

Which is definitely the root of the problem. We'll be in the playoffs by Christmas. |
