Are we getting slippery under the sheets with Swindon?

[eoghanthfc]

I think this is a very very smart move! What manager wouldn't want a massively talented group of youngsters playing together who already have? With Pritchard already there and possibly Ceballos, they will provide a lot of attacking power to Swindon. Big season ahead for Hall. Make or break season IMO. Needs a good year to have any chance at making it at Spurs.

I hope the "£1 buy back clause" isn't true.

While technically legal, it is certainly not within the spirit of the game.

Would we be happy if one of our rivals all of a sudden started getting Real Madrid or Barca's promising youth players?

Like Everton perhaps?

SPORT: BBC Wiltshire understands that #stfc boss Kevin MacDonald is considering his future at the club #swindon


So, we send them a few of our brightest prospects as we rate their manager highly and trust him...and now he might be leaving. Oh dear.

What are the odds on him being appointed to our Academy if he does quit Swindon? More importantly, will any new Manager they appoint want our loanees? Can the deals be simply cancelled if necessary? I'd hate the thought our our boys rotting in Swindon's reserves or simply keeping their bench warm.

Yep so Macdonald has just left. SSN

 

[Mister Jez]

Ok, how about this scenario..... Macdonald to our Academy, Sherwood to manage Swindon. Watch this space!!!!

 

[Ribble]

Here's a thought - what if they're replacing him with Sherwood?

edit: lol, great minds

 

[Lilbaz]

Hoddle?

 

[beats1]

Look like Modric says its likely to be Ferdinand or Wright. So probably be Les but I rather do this shit with someone in spain, Almeria could do with someone like Cebellos

 

[Lilbaz]

Who in their right mind would employ wright as a coach? He's a lunatic.

What is Sherwood's title/role at Spurs now? I didn't se him listed on the OS

Technical Co-ordinator?

Let's loan Swindon a manager as well.
Although I like the idea of a Hoddle return and the two teams getting closer

its official, hes gone

Interesting, all we can do is wait and see. If Sherwood/Ferdinand does take over as manager, they can have their pick of loanees really. Apart from Carroll.

Carroll is much too high for that standard. He should be playing at a lower Prem club like Townsend was last year.

 

[Lilbaz]

Coulibaly could do with the loan time as could cebellos.

I'd prefer if we just kept him in our team really. He's easilly good enough

Actually I don't think Cebellos would agree to it, and of course some players are too good like Townsend, Mason, Falque and imo Bentaleb

Coulibaly could do with the loan time as could cebellos.

I dont Cebellos will go, he will easily get a club in segunda or even La Liga

I wouldn't be surprised if players like Lancaster, Coulhirst and Coulibaly are mentioned for that one striking position since there being a lot of competition

 

[JerryGarcia]

Yeah I should have said their pick within reason. There are some that are too good.

this bloke Gary White is pandering for a job,... maybe he can step in

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/meet-gary-white-one-worlds-2052284

he reckons he's more successful than AVB, just that since he's English he has no opportunity to mentor under a good manager like Mourinho... enter Swindon
