Swindon sacked their manager earlier this week perhaps they are looking to appoint an ex Spurs player as the next manager (Hoddle), they are also playing Spurs to-night
Obika would love to negotiate the magic roundabout, I was in Swindon this weekend and according to local news report the club is in a bit of a mess, manager not turning up to pre season, no money etc.
Obika would be mad to join Swindon. A league below, little to no money, no manager.
Probably you are correct, footballing wise it would be a step back - but we have to negotiate with Spurs as they hold his contract. If Swindon offer a better deal and the wages are the same then we may well lose him.
It's hard to believe any player would choose L1 Swindon over us, especially as Post Di Canio, they don't even have that 'X factor'.
We are clearly in the SHIT. In a couple of seasons time,should we still exist,we will be begging to be as big,or should that be as operational, as the likes of Swindon town!

I cant see how you can see clearly in the SHIT. Yes we may be tight with money but in the SHIT?

I'd like to see us just bite the bullet and give players like Joe Piggott, Micheal Smith, Diego Poyet et al. a run out in the first team. Yes, we haven't got any money but we seem to have some good home grown talent given last years academy successes.

Yes, that may be what happens. But if so why don't the club come out and say so? That would help by instilling a degree of confidence in the young players rather than making them see themselves as makeweights because we couldn't afford anybody better.

Have Diego Poyet and Joe Pigott ever kicked a ball in a league game before ? I haven't seen much of Smitt but what I have seen doesn't suggest he's ready to be a Championship starter.
This whole "lets just rely on the kids to be first teamers next year" is insane. Yes, lets bleed them in slowly over a couple of seasons but anything more than that we're jeapordising their development that we've spent years cultivating.
If these kids are ready then why didn't Powell include them more last year ? If they weren't ready then what do you think has changed in the eight weeks since the season ended which now means we can use them as first teamers ?
Spurs and Swindon have some sort of link up. Five Spurs players have gone there so far this summer - some on loan, some permanent.
Not officially. Sherwood wanted MacDonald at Spurs to replace Alex Inglethorpe who followed Brendan Rodgers to Liverpool. Wouldnt be surprised to see MacDonald on the Spurs coaching staff at some point in the near future.

this. And Poyet wasn't even taken to Spain so isn't exactly in first team plans. Plus, as we saw with Harriott, it takes time. They will be inconsistant to start with, will dip in and out of the squad and you can't really play more than one in the team at any given time.
I do wish people would stop using the word "deluded" to mean "I don't agree". It just isn't necessary. Apparently. (Thats so that it might be a rumour rather than just my opinion randomly posted into a thread).

I think you might be confusing people's desire for the club to replace departing players, improve themselves and generally have more than one senior striker with their emotional ability to handle it if that doesn't happen.

The trouble is, people want it both ways.
On one hand they moan about the financial basket case football has become, worry about the debts Charlton carry and the accumulation of yearly losses, yet at the same time want the club to spend money it clearly doesn't have in order to be competitive at minimum, progressive at best.
Gawd knows what it should be, but i'm pretty sure we have one very frustrated manager for the second summer going.
