Possibly could happen. But confused why people are applying for the managers position, or even showing an expression of interest .......do they not realise there is nobody in the swindon offices to make a decision, they've all left, are leaving or haven't arrived.

I prefer strong mature cheddar over the mild stuff, and Branston pickle compliments the cheese nicely!

Reading between the lines I see it as "hastily arranged meeting between old and new regimes to try and find a way out of the mess they have both created"

And before anyone says anything, I am talking about the takeover, nothing more.

Perhaps they can also discuss why the loan fee was not paid. I suspect it was due for one of the players that returned to the parent club due to injury, such as Giles Coke.

We may be caliming that as the parent club requested its own medical staff treat the player, then the loan contract was invalidated.

Just a thought.....

Ron - I thought you'd signed a non disclosure agreement regarding the cheese sandwich situation? You're taking some significant risks here with this level of detail.

Care to tell us how much they were earning Mallorca? I know they are not cheap and all i here is various figures but does anyone actually know? Also lets give him some credit for what he has done for the club,like his image rights for use of a top hospital in Luton,maybe Newall can do the same for us in Luton or Liverpool. Also before he quit he offered to take a pay cut. Don't get me wrong i am not one of the PDC can do no wrong club,far from it,but i would guess the PDC also brought a lot to the club apart from a hugh wage bill.

Wilesy. I used to work for a company that used the 'Carrot and Stick' approach to management. First they beat you with the stick and then they shoved the carrot up your Ar**. I think Town fans understand about that now.

JOCKSTER exclusive - down at CG buying ticket for Saturday. Was able to grab a few words with Jed and Steve Murrell both arriving for a meeting - said he was awaiting a call in the next 15 mins but added he'd been waiting a few days but sounded positive. Told him we were concerned and said he as a Luton fan he understood. Seemed genuine and I appreciated that me mase time to talk when obviously a bust man. We exchanged pleasantries and said goodbye. On that basis he'll do for me until I discover otherwise .

RUMOURS!

Paul Trollope has emerged as a leading contender for the Swindon managers job. After a successful period as first team coach at Birmingham and Norwich City, the new owners believe the time is now right for Paul to return to management with his hometown club.

When the takeover is completed by the new consortium Wigan Athletic striker Connor McManaman will sign on an emergency loan deal.

Derby County are monitoring the Swindon situation very closely at the moment. Clough is a big fan of striker James Collins and central defender Aden Flint. Flint who was a regular with Derbyshire side Alfreton was on Derby's radar a few seasons back and has impressed scouts this season.

Paul Buckle could make a speedy return to football after leaving Luton with Torquay as he helps them until the end of season following lings illness.

Di Canio has apparently had contact from League 1 side Notts County. Di Canio has apparently turned the club down without even having an interview.
Blackpool are another club he made contact before Paul Ince was appointed. It is also thought that if Di Canio would have resigned earlier, he may have become boss at Bloomfield Road.
A club he could sign for is West Brom. Steve Clarke is keen on appointing the Italian to his coaching staff as an extra assistant.

Paolo di canio set for serious talks about being new coventry manager today.

And it goes on and on..zzzzzzzzzzz

Agreed, far too many people looking to assign blame at the moment - first it was Black, then the football league, then Paolo, now some are having a pop at Paolo's backroom staff - why would they stay now Paolo's resigned? They're Paolo's team, they'll go where he goes, not unusual in the football world at all. Almost every manager has their own staff they'll bring in.

I personally am thankful to all that have come in for stick recently - thankful to Black and the rest of the board for funding us in the first place, to Paolo and his team for a job well done, and even the Football League seem to have acted as they should have done despite the conspiracy theories that they've got it in for the town.

Yes, things could have been done better, things could have been done differently, but it is what it is. Paolo could've stayed till the end of the season and I for one thought he would, but let's take into account the fact he gave his all whilst he was here. I'm hoping whoever we get to replace him is even half as dedicated.

BREAKING NEWS: The cost of socks at all major retailers has now returned to the price they were trading at during the spring and early summer of 2012. Socks have been in short supply since July 2012 when thousands of pairs went missing overnight. The disappearance of the socks led to an increased demand and panic buying, which in turn, led to higher prices at the tills and an increase in the number of pairs being sold on the Black market. However, a spokesman for one of the major retailers said this morning "Our suppliers have been working overtime in an effort to satisy the demand for socks and we are pleased to announce that the levels available in the shops are back to the levels we saw in May 2012. As a result the price has been reduced to reflect this."

We know from the past that success at Swindon has come through the big name managers - Hoddle, Macari and Di Canio.
The others have been at best consistent, that is consistently poor, so the appointment of an ex england stand in manager, a Non League hopeful or some unknown person from Scotland does not fill me with joy.
1st choice - Get PDC back - he is a man of principle with an ego as large as they come and given a free hand would see the job thru, at least until the end of this season.
2nd choice Adkins - another man who has proven ability

Yes i would be happy if PDC came back and the fans have let that be known the last 4 games and on forums.
My focus will be solely on keeping us top of the league.

I hope the 'Board' (whoever they are at this point) have not accepted PDC's resignation. Whether he goes to Coventry or elsewhere we must receive compensation. If he thinks by resigning before the takeover is complete that this will remove the contractual issue of compensation for any club employing him then he should think again. As far as selling Matt behind his back goes, I doubt whether this is a breach of contract. Whilst it was an appalling piece of management by the Board, it would be regarded by any court as 'force majeure'. i.e. it was a matter of either sell a player or go into liquidation/administ ration. Also, what a pathetic last stroke of man management to strip Macca of the captaincy!!! Please, please Jed, bring in a top calibre manager. 14 games to play and we're top of the league - what an opportunity!!! COYR
