1 good season for swindon which got decided on ppg so not a proper promotion
2 relegations in his short career,
Do we really want him ?
Might as well it could steady the panickers.
Nope ! 2 Points & 2 places from relegation wont help the panickers !

Would be a great appointment. But we’ll probably end up with Calderwood or Harrold

Think they are just looking at the odds.

At this point it’s looking very much like it’s going to be Matt Harold until the end of the season. At the moment It sounds like no manager wants to come here

Updated them. Gone from odds on to 2/1. Ginger Pele has come in at 5/2.

They must have taken page down to update them. I've just seen the new odds

I think the “nobody wants to come here” narrative is just a line being leaked by the board to cover their own backsides. They were always going to go for Harrold. My guess is that they were hoping he’d pick up a win or two but now are having to rely on the “nobody wants to come here” story to justify their decision.

I reckon there’s some truth to this. Any name thinking of coming here is going to have a word with KJ to find out what went wrong. You can only guess what he’ll be saying,

The idea that “nobody wants to come here” is stupid.

I’d guess that the criteria for the ‘process’ is the problem and we aren’t even interviewing some decent candidates because of whatever the newest bunk approach is.

Somebody will want to come here.

The question is will anyone suitably qualified want to come here after they’ve had a word with KJ.

If they are suitably qualified , will the owner pay the price or still stick with not so bargain basement Harrold.

Is it safe to say that a non disclosure agreement is in place and we will never hear Jacket's take on events?
And would this NDA stop him from putting off potential candidates?

He'll be saying something like " I couldn't sign the players I wanted". For example was Coleman Kenny's signing or Martin Ling's. Kenny was supposed to be the fcuking manager so it's his choice who we sign. Russell built a good squad in 2014 and he didn't need the help of any transfer committee to build it. All we've done is flush money down the drain and now look where we are .

All signings were Kenny's. How many times does this need to be said?

I thought Coleman was being scouted before we signed Kenny . If the January transfer business was all Kenny's choices then he deserved to get sacked .

Do you expect him to search for every player?

He was the experienced manager . He should have known who and what players to sign . Russell knew
