Swindon Hater Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Me, and the people I regulary go to games with yesterday said after the game that a new manager needed to come in ASAP, Monday basically.We then turned on Radio Bristol on the way home to hear that an appointment will take between 2 or 3 weeks, Lansdown said.Does anyone else think the reason behind that could be, especially considering LL is a done deal apparently, that the board do not want the new manager to have to start off with two away games against Forest and Brentford.Two games that even if we were doing OK, we'd still struggle to get a result, a hiding at both games would instantly put pressure on the new boss.

rayer Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Not sure, I think it would be better for a new manger to start off with away games to aviod the pressure of the Ashton Gate boo boys straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robins72 Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Why would they do that? Seems silly to me. Besides Tinnion stood down last Sunday the job was paged Monday and the club are going to give it at least a week to accept applications in. Then they will do interviews so you are talking 2 weeks already.The job is going to be hard whoever takes over to lift morale with the team and lift the fans as expectations are so high at the club.

wookey Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Surely we are talking about an appointment at the end of this week; today being Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardy Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Perhaps the appointment will be after the Brentford game for another reason. Can't think why ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex1089 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I think that the new manager will be appointed next monday so he can have his first home game the next day against Barnsley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest routabout Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I would prefer the board take their time, IF they are going to bring in a quality manager. If we wait a few weeks, to have Lennie "Lost>Won" Lawrence, unveiled to us, then I will be down the gate to voice my utter disgust at the board's total inability to recruit a suitable manager.Will the club allow members of the general public, into the place when they do unveil the new man? Or will it be press/media only? Because if I have any say in it, I'll have some very awkward questions to ask both Lansdown and Lawrence, if he is appointed.[Edit]Likewise for Messrs Ward and/or McCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
