Bodin stalls youth job decision

PAUL Bodin is still undecided whether to take the Wiltshire U18 management job.

The Wiltshire Football Association met last Wednesday to discuss the vacancy, but Bodin was unable to attend, meaning the team are still without a full time manager.

The ex-Swindon Town star guided the side to a 4-1 Mick Parry Memorial Trophy win at Oxfordshire, in his only game in charge, last month.

He took over from the sacked Mel Gingell, who was dismissed in acrimonious circumstances after allegations of swearing.

"It is a prestigious job but I have a lot of other commitments," said Bodin, who also coaches at New College as well as Swindon's Centre of Excellence "There are 12 to 14 games and, depending on how successful they are in the cups, there could be more.

"More success means more commitment and there are a lot of things to think about. Until I speak to them (Wilts FA) I don't know what the position is."
