If BC is wanted by Orient. Maybe they’re getting BG as well and we’ll get Wellens back.

Dont get your hopes up, if RW was out of work then maybe, as it stands, no hope in hell

Would have been just as believable if they said Rolf Harris with Jimmy Saville as assistant, more bites than night in a mosquito farm!

What the hell is going on with this club? How in heaven's name can we in eleven days go from a club looking to be on the up to being, on the face of it, an absolute basket case?

Nothing but rumours, innuendo and p!ss taking from certain sources and absolutely nothing from the Club itself (apart from the only definite move of Ben Chorley leaving). It is not what I expect considering the "openness" we have seen this last season and would appreciate some sort of statement even if it turms out eventually to be a load of old sphericals, better that than this continued silence.

Not a very happy bunny currently.

I'm still shitting myself about the Campbell possibility.

It’s just possible that:….
* Garner has left and Chorley for the exact same reason. Not because we’re skint, but because Charlton is a bigger club and they are ambitious. I’m fine with that.
* Austin has turned a corner and isn’t a rogue. Maybe.
* The rumours about reduced budget are wide of the mark - or half the truth. Reduced terms to individual players is fine if that’s because the budget is going on a larger squad.
* The absence of comms from the club isn’t because there’s anything to hide, but because they’re busy interviewing and negotiating terms with Carrick/Delaney/someone else promising.
* We’ll be a very different place in 2 days’ time.
* and a dead cert that Nixon, pals with Paul Jewell if his antics when he was DOF are anything to go by, is on the wind up.

anywhere from there to another implosion is possible.

as a fan base we've largely  become used to being shat on - so we revert to expecting that

Why is there all this questioning the whole set up at the club just because the team management set up has left?

Aren't we all used to this happening?

Managers do well in a season. If the club is promoted and looks like there's a chance of making progress in a higher league they may stay.If not chances are someone will poach them. It's been like this since Macari.

Someone comes in for our players or coaching staff from a higher league with a bump in salary then if they can pay the fee they'll likely get them. If you can't deal with that without getting your knickers in a twist then supporting Swindon might not be for you. Because we're not going to be Man City at any time soon.

If it gets us a manager who cares then why not, could be worse, I am warming to the idea of Sol although I fully expect it to be a young untried untested academy manager.

And Garner TBF after what Rovers fans said.

As recent history has shown, our preconceived notions about managerial candidates do not often mirror actual performance.

[Berniman]

Blimey, that Sol Campbell and Rix fishing trip has certainly reeled in a few on Twatter..  How can people honestly believe that.

And Garner TBF after what Rovers fans said.

Personally I'm far more anxious about the possibility of Campbell,probably because I'm not a fan of the man,than I was about the other two. Mainly because the other two were appointed after pretty shit seasons whereas this time it's on the back of a fairly successful one.
