Swindon sack Flynn

Gav Gunning in charge,

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67981867

Gunning was their 'Development phase loans manager' !!!

Bit of a mess Swindon are in

They've also 'sold' a keeper to Charlton - he's only made 5 appearances and he's 26 so interesting that he's going to a level above.

First rat to leave the sinking ship?

The Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Berkshire axis having a good go at replacing the north west as the country’s hotbed for basket case clubs. Forest Green, Swindon and Reading all exhibiting their own unique brand of strife at the minute.

Sad to see, with the possible exception of Forest Green, who are where they are through means which are, ironically, anything but organic.

I think Forest Green are doomed, particularly if they keep Troy Deeney in charge. Here's a small clip of his 12 minute post match interview from the weekend. It is astonishing. He is remarkably thick.

I like the pause before he answers like he's an old laptop freezing up when you try to load something.

He got one thing right though. Forest Green aren't a bottom of League 2 club. They're a bottom of the conference team at best..

Laugh out loud we are not a bottom of league two club your bloody right there mate at best your a conference club bobbing up and down to the  southern league

If he's stood in the wind no wonder he's freezing Kris.

Never mind Deeney post match interview.  Pre-match he praised the professionalism of his new player Godden.  Who was then sent off in his first game.  3 mins later FGR conceded and they lost.

We should have a whip-round to keep Deeney in post.  He could then extend their 6 match run without a win.

I'm not so worried about us finishing bottom if he remains in charge much longer.

It seems Dale Vince has gone a bit mad. I get that he’s not everyone’s cup of tea for fairly obvious reasons, but he’s generally done a pretty good job of turning Forest Green into a solid football league outfit.

18 months ago they were promoted to League One under the excellent Rob Edwards, but since then he’s appointed Duncan Ferguson, a woman, seemingly for PR reasons, a Greek mythological creature, and now Troy Deeney.

That’s not the decision making of a well man. Perhaps he’s been smoking a little too much of his organic grass.

To be fair to FGR, they were a pretty well-established 5th tier side before Vince started bunging money into them. Definitely a vanity-project since he took them over. Vanity projects tend to come to an end at some point, so let's hope this one ends this season...

Stuck £20 on FGR going down within 10 minutes of Deeney being appointed.

I think the potential saving grace for FGR is that Vince generally isn't frightened of sacking someone relatively early into their tenure.

Then again, Poojah's list of recent appointments isn't a great advert for his recruitment of late though.

I just think they'll stump up the cash for a couple of players who will get them over the line to survive.  Can fairly say the same for 2 other sides down there (Salford and Colchester), which means presuming Sutton can't get out of it someone else has to get sucked in.  Donny for me, MK Dons shock results on NYD aside they're in shocking form.

Hope its FGR and Either Sutton or Salford

i hate the salford story but least its not too far a drive if they do stay up

They’ll need to get cracking. We know how hard it can be to climb to safety once you’ve created a bit of a gap to close, and they’re already 7 points from safety (and 10 points behind us) with a materially inferior goal difference. They’ve got a game or two in hand, the first of which is away at Mansfield tonight, but it’s hard to see them getting anything other than a good old fashioned vegan shoeing there.

They’re currently averaging 0.69 points per game. For context, our two relegation seasons from the bottom tier saw us register averages of 0.96 and 0.93 respectively, so that gives you some idea as to how bad they really are. Plus they now have Deeney at the wheel, who currently has a PPG of 0.17 from his 6 games in charge so far and could drop as low as 0.14 tonight.

In fact, they haven’t won since they beat Crawley in October; the same day Hurst was sacked for context. It’s dark before the dawn at the New Lawn.

Oh definitely, there's nothing at all pointing towards them having a hope in hell.  Awful form, joke of a manager and you can only presume absolute rock bottom morale in the dressing room when said manager is calling out players in public.

It's all based on the potential of a new manager bounce (not that it's happened previously for them, nor have they even sacked Deeney yet!) and that ability to bring in a couple of decent signings in the next fortnight.  If we get to the end of the window and they've still got Deeney in charge and/or haven't made a couple of really good signings, definitely curtains.

Another consideration is if, big if, Swindon end up with a points deduction following their EFL charge last month.  Last I heard it was going to an independent panel and I'll be totally honest and say I've nothing else, nor do I know if has the potential to reach a points deduction.  If it does though, that really could make it interesting...

I've seen Donny seven times this season and they've won five including the game against us. Some have been cup games admittedly and apart from their home games versus Town and Bradford they've looked half-decent.

When they are bad they are shocking though and Donny fans would like to see the back of most of their players. I've managed to miss their worst performances. Not a fan I hasten to add but I go and watch them with friends from time to time. They have a good pricing policy for cup games and over-60s in those matches.

I don't get Deeney at all? He has been a very decent player and should lead by example on the pitch . They and Sutton look doomed I can see Salford doing enough to pull clear.

Lead by example? Troy Deeney? Ask watford fans about hi. Turned up most seasons overweight and unfit for pre season n spent the last few seasons undermining that months watford manager

Forest Green investigating racial abuse aimed at Troy Deeney on Instagram. I now find myself in the somewhat paradoxical position of wanting Forest Green to go down even more, because:

a) They’ve got Troy Deeney
b) Their fans are racially abusing Troy Deeney

Really one of these times he screams racism it might be true

As vile as he is. It’s still no excuse to racially abuse him. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to call him a c**t.
If it’s on instagram that must surely be concrete evidence.

He has scored plenty of goals his character though I agree is at best suspect .

Should be pretteasy to identify the culprit as there are not too many of them in the first place!!

Deeney sacked too now.

Quoted from Withnail

Blimey, they just signed Emmanuel Osadebe.  Interesting to see if it helps FGR or pulls them down further.

Quoted from Withnail

Deeney sacked too now.

A real shame if confirmed by the club. He was doing a grand job of planting the veggies firmly back into non-league soil.

Quoted from Withnail

Deeney sacked too now.

Interesting how this will work given that he's still registered as a player there aswell  

Quoted from Withnail

Deeney sacked too now.

Gone far  far too soon😪

The sacking is a waste of the 3 or 4 match ban Deeney was given today for getting sent off. 😃😂😃😂

It couldn’t be more ridiculous if they appointed Mike Bassett as their next manager.

Quoted from Civvy at last

As vile as he is. It’s still no excuse to racially abuse him. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to call him a c**t.

Maybe this is one of the times it's a fact rather than his interpretation of racism .

Paul Groves going on loan to Scunthorpe vibes about it.

Back to the O.P. I noticed Mad Gav has been appointed interim manager until the end of the season



What could possibly go wrong?🤔
