Not sure they can afford not to with the opportunity to finally get out of L2, especially having (hopefully) secured some sort of compensation for the other two. Swindon such an attractive club and you'd be amazed at some of the names that will probably apply. Hope they take suitable time, due diligence and like others have said - make the right appt for the long-term.
Applying and us offering acceptable wages and them being happy to work under 'the system' is another thing though. Hence why Hughton has probably applied but probably won't be our new manager. But, yeah, we can attract interest initially. |

I don't think Clem was going to either. But it was about to get very toxic, so who knows how he would have reacted to that.
I disagree I think if it was a stinker performance and poor result vs Grimsby, he was finished. |

I think Clem was well aware of the fans frustration towards Lindsey. To go from him to Gunning is unimaginable.
Interestingly I am imagining it right now, and its not nice but never rule anything out. |

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

I dunno.
A good wage and experience is no guarantee of success.
Is taking a punt on a manger / coach with zero previous experience any more or less of a gamble at L2 than it would be in the 2nd tier for example.
A well known name in that respect always seems to soften the blow considerably I guess.
Anyway, if ploughing on with the model is the aim, then Artell should, on paper, be the no brainer candidate?

Maybe, maybe this is the case, and it wouldn't be the first time public and private statements differed, but the club statement and quotes read about as far from "we were about to sack this guy" as they possibly could. I'm not ITK at all, but if I had to put money on it, I don't think he was anywhere near being sacked.
I was told he was very close to the sack, Northampton saved him |

Ex Waterford manager? This is going to go well…..
Didn’t someone on social media mention earlier in the year that they saw him at a Como match and he said something like I hear you’re up for sale again?
