Thought as much.
Humans, and football fans in particular, are fickle beings.

Not quite.
More a case of people pointing out his potential limitations. He might go on to manage in the Prem for all we know.
Wellens is an excellent Manager and will manage at a higher level. Our loss is Salford’s gain. However we need to move on now. |

As someone who only bothers to log in now and again, it's really quite spectacular . |

I think now would be a good time to make a pact. Please no more: "We are [insert manager's name here] red & white army".
Please let's stick to: "We are Swindon's red & white army", or similar.
Thank you.

I wouldn't waste my time either but Power was saying there's been loads contacting him including ones that have previously rejected him
Well he would wouldn’t he. |

I don't see how it would be in his favour to do so, especially if he'd rather stick with Hunt to save money. |

You can settle at any time prior to judgment being handed down
Yes, I am aware of that. It still, may happen. |

The "I turned dow 3/4 jobs so I'm loyal" is questionable as well. It depends on what was turned down (if anything).
I'd say no to an opportunity to shag Ann Widdecombe. That alone doesn't necessarily make me loyal to my wife - it could just mean I don't want to shag Ann Widdecombe.
I bet you do 😉 |

He was sacked at Oldham after relegation. For me last season we had probably the best squad for 4 or 5 seasons. Lost o many crucial players this season and he jumped ship. Always enjoy your posts but must disagree this time. |

He will be a success at Salford and take on a bigger club after this one. Only time will tell but we have lost an exceptional young Manager. Highly regarded in the game. Just unfortunate we couldn’t back him as we would have kicked on this season. Covid has hit us hard as it has other clubs though. |

Maybe get a promising young manager in who plays the game in the style that we have been used to with Wellens, particularly given the make up of our squad. What about David Oldfield, manager of Oxford City who just dumped Northampton out of the FA Cup. Played progressive attractive football, really impressed with them. Made Northampton look what they are, a very direct poor league 1 outfit, but unlike STFC, they had the answers. Rather Oldfield, or someone like him, than a journeyman.

I'd usually agree, but not this season. I'd usually go for somebody new in the hope of unearthing a gem. I think this season we just need somebody to get us over the line. |
