If you were going for a job interview you would expect to be asked why so long since your last job!
That's easy, you just tell the interviewer/s no-one in the last year had the wisdom and farsightedness the Swindon owners are showing now; or the usual I've had other offers but nothing excited me like the "project" at Swindon Town. |

 Just one question from Artell - Can you tell me why I never got the job in January if I interviewed so well🤔 |

I think I believed Artell would have been the right call in January - he has experience of the lower leagues as a player and had worked with a similar set-up at Crewe with success. You'd like to think we could do a better version of Crewe, and that we'd be able to have a bit of experience brought in now as well. He seems to tick enough boxes to be given a go.

I agree Robert he does tick all the boxes and I would be pleased if he got the job failing that I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Flynn was the preferred choice.

I’d be more than happy with Artell or Flynn. I seem to remember hoping for Flynn after Clem took over

Just catching up on this thread. Interesting article on Artell posted by Audrey a day or so back.
If Artell has realised he took on far too much at Crewe and now understands he needs to leave so many things to others to manage why would he come to Swindon ? The poor management set up at Crewe he mentions seems very similar to the one we now have at Swindon.
If he is offered the job here I guess he will also be given a broom to stick up his ass !!!

Announcement could be as soon as today apparently? Does look like I was wrong with regards to Artell though. (Sorry all) |

So far I’ve had 4 people tell me they’re convinced they know who the new manager is and no 2 of them have the same name. It’s quite funny actually, I love this part of the process, all the rumours and names.

It's sounds like a straight choice between the Cowley Brothers and Michael Flynn and no I'm not in the know😆

I’d heard that Clem wanted Flynn before Garner got the job, but I believe at the time he was still at Newport and we wouldn’t pay the compensation
.
Whether that means anything or not, who knows

Either way sooner rather than later would be more beneficial for all concerned.

I don't care if county are 2-0 down.
I'd rather shove knitting needles up my pee hole while watching the coronation on loop than have Luke Williams back

I understand that’s called sounding. Watching the coronation on a loop makes you a Tory. |
