    Could this scupper Swindon's promotion aspirations?

    The dream team are splitting up. It's like Take That all over again.

    Hope!
    Unless we end up with another whashisname sitaution were he just went and flatly refused to manage, so we had to send him on garden leave.

    Not happy with this. As far as I'm concerned, this is yet another example of Swindon being fucked over by rumour and commitmentless people. This will undoubtably shake things with simple uncertainty about the future. I say our season is has the kiss of death just because of a greedy bigger-club.

    I wouldn't say Leeds are being greedy here, they're in free fall and are looking for a way to stop the rot. They are using their "bigger club" card though. I'd be more concerned with the level of allegiance shown by Wise and Poyet. Unless you're Chelsea, there'll always be a bigger club sniffing around your more successful staff.

    They could have had Wise ages ago, before we picked him up and they went for blackwell. He showing a little success and bam, all of the rights of swindon town as a club go out of the window.
    Money's on they will both be in the same league next season

    I think they will reach the playoffs. I also think they have paid us a couple of hundred thousand.

    And who do we get running the show now? The same guy who took over at Millwall when Wise left.
    He was Youth officer at the Country Ground.
    God sake, I want a proper replacement.

    Swindon chat makes football365 mailbox shock:

    "Loyalty In Swindon As a Swindon fan I'd just like to wish Dennis Wise all the best at Leeds and thank him for the sterling effort, hard work and single-minded commitment that he has exhibited during the last four months.

    Who in their right mind can really blame the little taxi-driver-worrier for taking the very first opportunity to come his way and jump at the chance of working for a jowelly, despotic spiv at a forlorn Championship club for a set of supporters he despised as a player?

    Following the example in unwavering loyalty and dedication set by other previous 'high profile' Swindon managers in recent years - Roy Evans, Steve Coppell, Colin Todd, to name but a few - I implore our board of self-important muppets to not replace Wise with yet another ego-driven mercenary and instead focus on what will actually benefit the club over a period of longer than six months.

    When Wise (can names get any more ironic?) gets relegated with Leeds this season and we go up, I look forward to affording him the warmest of welcomes on his return to the County Ground next season. David Osborne, London"

    I've yet to hear a greater Swindon perpective in the media. "Wise joins Leeds", "Leeds confirm details", "New managers in stands tonight"
    Have yet to hear "Swindon Fans Livid", or even Swindon mentioned at all.
    Thus confirming my theory that Swindon is the supermodern town, you can't mention a no-place on the radio, it would be the equivolent of saying "Wise joins Leeds, quits job at airport"

    In fact, now is probably the time for me and andy to start the "Jan Aarge Recruitment" drive

    This from thisisstfc.co.uk
    "Wise said: “A small factor in my departure was that I found it difficult to work with an unnamed individual connected with Town."
    That can't only be Holt or Carson. Probably Holt as Carson doesn't seem to do anything as proactive as be difficult.
