Sorry if I’ve missed it but have we got any concrete proof that it was Sandro who appointed Lindsey?
Surely that comes under Clems remit (or at least a collect decision with input from a few people)

Might be being naive but can’t imagine Sandro was given carte blanche to hire the manager in the summer.

Like, I can see the logic behind Sandro recommending him for the job but actually hiring him (well promoting him I guess)


Clem very open in saying he has no idea about the football side of things, stays clear. (Austin the exception and we all know why). Rob Angus in to do the numbers, not a football man. Sandro runs the football operation, I know there’s one bloke behind the scenes who never gets mentioned on an official basis (Chris Kiely I think?) , but it’s safe to say Sandro had a big say. He made that pretty clear in the press releases once SL was appointed.

It’s interesting how many people would be happy with Caddis as an assistant manager, which you can understand.

However, Can you imagine the interview with the new manager ending, oh by the way we’ve already appointed your assistant manager, and you’ve got to keep Gav & Mildy too.

It’s more that an experienced manager is surely going to want to have his own coaching staff, just wondering if some would be put off if we told them they needed to have the ones already in place

We've got family in Toronto area. Wonder how we'll mess up the first round of the playoffs this year?

That is what was suggested put off Hughton.

I think its entirely acceptable for the new Head Coach to want his own assistant etc. As Lindsey appointed Day & Gunning i would expect that of any head coach.

What is less palatable is changing all football staff, so the analysts, fitness & conditioning staff, etc. I think that more likely to be the thing Hughton wanted.

Sentiment is a nice bonus when they're already up there with the most qualified people for the job. When they're not, it has no place in choosing.

Lewis Ward player-coach perhaps? Who knows/cares... can't see Mildy leaving Swindon.

From Ryan on twitter

‘ Announcement expected later tonight #stfc fans.’

Also mentioned we have enquired about Jutkiewitz who has left Brum. Can’t see him being needed, tbh.

Yes Sutton fans think hes shite Smiley cost them 2 goals on Saturday if you read their forum.

There seems to be a misconception that if a player has played in League 2 for another club they will be good enough to do so for us. We have found that to be untrue.

So you mean Lewis Ward. It would have saved a lot of time if you named them of course.

ward flapping at a cross that was easier to catch and a poor penalty.
Tope coming on really changed the attack and we looked a genuine threat.

Without wanting to be too critical, there is a huge difference between Rose and Ward, hopefully Jack will be fit for next week
