    If he is the new manager, context. It's always the case that we, as fans, can get overly overjoyed without looking at the fuller picture.

    Take January as an example. Biggest transfer window labelled by some. The reality, in all honesty turned out differently.

    Your probably right Park but that has gone. Now to the future.

    Looks like the new manager announcement is going to be delayed either Wellens has a clause in his latest pay out. Or it’s someone already in a job

    There's always angles to stories.
    Reading a few Swindon fans take on RW, is Salford came knocking with a generous compensation package. Power was eager for the cash, he had a big impact on RW leaving Swindon. Many Swindon fans would welcome him back.
    At Salford, Gary Neville tried to persuade RW to change his method of football, RW wouldn't change from his principles, became
    disillusioned and both club and manager parted ways.

    The following is an interview with RW from four days ago, it's very interesting, and so are the fans comments on him.

    Its an interesting one Fog, obviously the retained list now cant have more than recommendations from T&S so I am presuming Turnbull in particular will have had some sizeable input. My own experience is managers have their own teams and a network of scouts and 'football people' who could easily pass on info without to much difficulty, I think a lot will be apparent in how quickly we release the retained list and how quickly we name the new manager

    He only won one of the last six at Salford Bowyer did better with the same players he won one in 12 at Oldham before hitting the revolving door onto the magic roundabout

    I assume that Turnbull has already been given a list of targets by the new man,

    Sparks talks about bringing in someone with experience, do we class Wellens as experienced?

    It isn't the Christmas Tree formation.

    Very good question!

    If we're looking at getting someone proven to lead the line, we need to make sure we do a better job at managing our 'big' players than we have done recently.

    It's backfired with Doyle, Vaughan and now Rowe, although I'm not sure you'd class him as a 'big' player.

    He'll be going to a league 1 club, to good for league 2. Sort of player we should be looking at though

    No I don’t think I am Tony. I’m looking at the “impact” of the return. Yes odd goals but what did the club achieve as a consequence?

    I’m looking at the big picture. If it led to a promotion for example ...that’s what I mean.

    Stop guessing. That’s easy to say and a non justification Park.
