CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY, LEE.

I do like a football programme. I can be excited by Talksport or Soccer AM but it is the match day programme that entertains me, especially the page that lists all the home club officials.

Swindon Town looking to be on their way out of Football League Division One, have an impressive list of support staff and the introduction of Tim Sherwood (of much Premier League fame) has thrown certain Swindon Town supporters into confusion. Tim is Director of Football with responsibility for all aspects of the club's game, transfers, the way the club plays, formations and picking the team. Tim is a close friend of club investor, owner and chairman, Lee Power. Power played over 160 senior games and owns Waterford FC in the ROI and has run Swindon since April 2013.
Luke Williams is/was Head Coach? and Ross Embleton 1st team Coach?; I wonder how much input they have?

Since Tim Sherwood joined up, Swindon won the first match against Charlton 3-0 in November, Sherwood did the half time talk but since then The Robins have lost embarrassingly to Eastleigh 1-3 at home in the FA Cup, they are languishing towards the wrong end of League One (20th/24), having won only once since December 12th, even losing to Rochdale 0-4 en route.
Played 30 league games W 7 D 8 L 15 F28 A 44 Pts 29.
If things get worse who will be to blame? Maybe the away game v Bury (22nd) this weekend will decide?

Mind you if you looked at the long list of managers since July 1989, there is little consistency in history. (C = caretakers):
Ossie Ardiles, Glen Hoddle, John Gorman, Steve McMahon, Jimmy Quinn, Colin Todd, Roy Evans, Dennis Wise, Andy King, Iffy Onuora, Cs, Paul Sturrock, C, Maurice Malpas, C, Danny Wilson, Paul Hart,C, Paolo di Canio, Cs, Kevin MacDonald, Mark Cooper, C, Martin Ling, Luke Williams, Tim Sherwood. Longest serving? Andy King 193 games. There have been FOUR managers since October 2015.
