Swindon look to be in a bit of trouble, again. Mods feel free to move it to non-Rovers section. But as we’re in the same league next season thought it relevant. And a bit interesting. 😉

Just heard it. I have friends from Swindon and take no satisfaction from this. Makes you wonder if we will actually play them this forthcoming season.

Swindon Town manager John McGreal has left the League Two side after a month in charge of the Robins.
Long-serving chief executive Steve Anderson has also left the club, which is currently embroiled in legal proceedings surrounding its ownership.
Owner Lee Power is facing FA charges surrounding the ownership and funding of the side.
Former Colchester boss McGreal only joined Swindon on 26 May and leaves having never taken charge of a game.
His assistant Rene Gilmartin is also leaving the County Ground having only joined six days later.
McGreal signed two players - goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott and defender Pierce Sweeney - earlier this month as he started to rebuild a side relegated from League One last season.
But in a joint statement on the club website, McGreal and Gilmartin said they did not believe that would be possible given the current uncertainty at Swindon.
"This is a decision we both have made, as we feel we are not able to carry out our duties as manager and assistant manager," they said.
"Our intention from day one was to build a football team to compete in this league, but unfortunately due to the current circumstances the club is facing, we do not feel we are able to do that.
"As mentioned earlier this week, we have signings ready to be announced. However, the legal proceedings involving the ownership has not allowed us to do so, making our positions at the club

The marketplace for teams nicknamed the robins is saturated in the south west.

Don’t laugh at their demise guys, sadly I fear we may be next. Can you explain in clear terms please why you believe that. Our owner has cleared tens of millions of debt - remember we explored that before? For the first time in the history of the club we have a privately held training facility owned by the holding company of the club group. We have an increased budget which is allowing for a clear out of many of the players who failed at League One level resulting in our relegation. Your friends who wish to buy the club attempted to have Wael removed by the FA but this was dismissed out of hand. With all of that in mind are you able to be more clear about where you see the similarities between our situation and Swindon please. |

You keep living in your little world where everyone lapping up Wael is a gashead and everyone with the temerity to ask the questions is otherwise. It’s rather cute. I bet I could answer any Rovers trivia question you throw at me. Not that I have to prove myself to the likes of you. |
