There is a 3 page spread in the Daily Mail  :shock:  :shock:

i don't think we've ever had more than a paragraph in that paper!!

There is a 3 page spread in the Daily Mail.....about Big Ron.

Then a tiny picture of Iffy, the size of the paragraph we usually get!!

[Johno]

my dad told me that he was like our new coach or something. This is just great.  :|

[Whits]

The main quote from the daily mail is

So what can swindon expect?

I'm not going there to do a clive woodward. iffy is the manager and i am there to help. i've told him not to worry about me, he's a young boss and has done quite well in difficult circumstances"

I am there in an advisory and observational capacity. I've told them that i will be open and honest, that there is no need for anyone to be worried about my presence

Then there is talk of carlton palmer offering his services  :|

I dont want Carlton Palmer anywhere near the County Ground, not even as a burger seller....!!!

[Reg Smeeton]

Now that this stuff is coming out into the open......one of mine from thisis

    My sources tell me Carlton Palmer is being lined up as the next manager, because he's mates with Ron Atkinson, and wants a return to managing and Ron wants his reputation restored...he's prepared, with Ron chipping in, to pay STFC to manage the club.

Although publicly happy with Iffy, for the club  its too good a deal to turn down.

 Thet hrust of this documentary was always going to be like the old Beeb series Troubleshooter, in which John Harvey Jones went into failing businesses and tried to sort them out...in this case its BR into a failing football club...he obviously thinks CP is the man, and it'll be like our loan players....only we get a manager and someone else pays for them.

NO CARLTON PALMER!!!  :x


That is all....

Iffy is our manager and he is doing a fine job I think.

 Join Adje, Yeovil and me on the picket line....united we'll never be defeated.

[adje]

Could be a publicity stunt for the program.

Lets see what the politically correct lads have to say about this

For what its worth as long as its ok with Iffy its alright with me.

Im not politically correct-I just hate racists!

Big Ron I can just about stand, he has alot of expirencen and could prove usefull. Carlton Palmer on the other hand has been rubbish at everything he has done....

To be honest I don't have a problem with it, in fact I think it's a good thing. Although I'd rather it was Gazza , Ron has managed some big clubs and taken teams to 2nd and 3rd in the top flight and won the league and fa cups a few times so his experience could come in very useful in keeping us up even if he's said some bad things in the past.

Word on the street is he starts in the job tomorrow....we shall see.

People said the same thing about Roy Evans.Beware!

Ron isnt actually our manager, so we arent paying him like we were Roy Evans....sounds like, Ron as Evans did wants to bring in a usless mate

As far as I am concerned, actions speak a lot louder than words. It is therefore highly ironic that some one who arguably did more than anyone else of his generation in giving the opportunity to black footballers to establish themselves in top flight football at a time when black players were a relative rarity has now been branded a racist.

Before the self righteous do gooders get their flags and banners out and start picketing, perhaps messrs Regis and Batson should be asked what they think of Big Ron.  I reckon that they, along with the late Laurie Cunningham, would more likely describe him as the biggest influence on their careers rather than a racist. And most importantly, let's hear what Iffy has to say about it. If anyone has the right to be outraged then it's him.

The American Right used to label Bill Hicks as "a self-righteous do-gooder"

[adje]

To be fair - spencers remarks have a very valid point, my dad does business with people who are black and still calls them by the names he was brought up with (blacks, darkies and nig nogs) he isnt one bit racist tho, that was the talk on the estate he was brought up with.

If some twats on here start a picket line meaning the club fails to keep there side of teh contract (which will incur thousands of pounds in compo) I swear now I will go mental, I really wouldnt give a fuck.  People who dont see the bigger picture here really are short sighted

The club needs this exposure, ok so he made a mistake big deal, how many people on here have made a mistake, I put my hand up I have many times both in my business and personal life.

Big Ron may well have teh tactical knowledge that iffy doesnt and if he keeps us up I will shake the big mans hand and wish him well.  

Really fucking stop all this shit.  This website is fucking stupid at times, really is.

There you go again getting all personal-I really dont think I'm a "twat"-just because I dont like what he did.As for the picketing-I think that's a little bit tongue in cheek.This website may be fucking stupid at times but this,in my opinion is one of the best debates we've had for some time(personal insults aside)
