ten minutes of rough Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Swindoom & gloom ... all swines and roundabouts. (if Lee Powers was Austin they'd stand a better chance) Do you know anything about Swindon, and it's history at all? I do .I have lived there and worked there, and yet all you can quote is the usual roundabout and swine jibes. Have you ever moved, lived anywhere from where you were born? I ask because it does sound that you haven't. For the record Mark Cooper is a good manager, best off from that a Power clot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost black rat Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 come back to city Mark you clearly have a ability to spot a good player. we must be short of staff for scouting after the summer shambles . perhaps a role along side Burt or a euro scouting job that way he can get to see TC a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Lee Powers the chairman who screwed me.Groovy baby.Cooper did a good job in general but it was obvious that with players leaving the club and it's tangled finances, this season was always going to be a tough act to follow, he maybe a good manager, I don't know or care, but lasts seasons 'dark arts' policy was a disgrace to the game IMO.

Nogbad the Bad Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 A team plays in the image of it's manager, and by his direction.Last season's constant shenanigans by his Swindon team told us all we need to know about Mark Cooper.

Last year it was clear that the team's tactics were to dive whenever possible, get opponents booked or sent off. It was so systemic it must have come from the manager, not individual players.

... Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Sadly, I have no convictions for fraud, and a good credit report, so I am not qualified to manage Swindon Town.I feel I am more suited to be the City stadium manager?"open the top tier, me-babbers"Uncle TFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'd give Evans three months max before he walks or gets the boot. It must be one of the least attractive jobs in football. Temporary success always built upon gambles in the loan market on youth players. There's nothing consistent about them and little chance to work with players for much more than a year before they are sold or return to parent club. And that's before any concerns you might have about their solvency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFree Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I actually feel for him, sell or get rid of your best players to trim the wage bill and debts and perform at or above the previous level?Dhit, poorly run club and in time he'll realise he's better off without them..

Pickle Rick Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 and Lee Powers taking over first team affairs on a temporary basis.. What's new? He always had a stronghold on team affairs whilst Cooper was in charge! Either their assistant to take over, or a mate of Lee Powers to get the role.

samo II Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Told some numbskull Swindon supporter on here earlier this season that I fancied them as relegation contenders and had them sneer at me that they'd started well.Thing is; being run by a nutcase with an ever shrinking budget isn't a sustainable model, and like Cooper or not, he worked a minor miracle getting them to the playoff final last year.As others have mentioned; must be on of the least attractive gigs in football just now - God help whoever takes the leap into the hot seat.

RedM Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yes very tough job as people have said. Cooper was expected to do better with less this season. They've had a couple of seasons flirting in or around the playoffs so now he is sacked for failing to delivery this time.Doesn't seem so long ago he was being touted as the next big thing. He was too good for Swindon, but saying that how he let his players behave didn't reflect favourably on him as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
