STAND-IN skipper Michael Timlin insists he is “delighted” with the appointment of Danny Wilson as Town’s new manager as he looks to turn the tables on Swindon’s stuttering League One season.

MICHAEL Timlin is hoping to provide some festive cheer for Town fans at Leyton Orient on Boxing Day as he looks to draw a line under Swindon’s “shocking” start to the season.

CHIEF executive Nick Watkins last night dismissed as “completely erroneous” reports that former Bristol City boss Danny Wilson had been offered the job as manager of Swindon Town.

THE gloom around the County Ground was temporarily lifted for one squad member yesterday, when Lee Peacock received the news he had been nominated for the PFA Fans’ Player of the Month Award.

LEE Peacock remains confident the Swindon Town board of directors will “get it right” in their protracted hunt for a new manager after admitting the players have failed to produce the goods for caretaker boss Dave Byrne.

BARRY Corr will put festive fun to one side this Christmas as he focuses on scoring the goals to fire Swindon Town back to the right end of the League One table.

AT all times in the process we have remained focused on one clear set of criteria - we want someone who is genuinely passionate about being the manager of Swindon Town.

CARETAKER boss Dave Byrne admits he doesn’t deserve to be handed the Town manager’s job based on recent results - and has pledged his full backing to whoever succeeds Maurice Malpas in the County Ground dug-out.

ADAPTABLE Michael Timlin hopes he won’t pay the price for his versatility when the new Swindon Town manager is finally unveiled by the County Ground board.
