Lol Id like to think im making a valid point though As a Swindon fan how would you feel if Rosco was picking and choosing what matches he managed the team? Doesnt give out the right message to me Before any Poole fan has a moan i do appreciate that Muddlo has other stuff going on outside the sport Have to ask though.....if Poole would have stayed top flight would Muddlo then not go to away matches at say Belle Vue or Wolves?? As i said maybe his enthusiasm is on the slide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As i said maybe his enthusiasm is on the slide Nah, give him a break. I like Muddlo. To be fair, he’s been in charge of Poole for nearly every year that Swindon have won the league. P.S. we do have to give Rosco time off now and again so he can count his horses. Edited November 18, 2019 by DC2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As i said maybe his enthusiasm is on the slide Matt Ford or Garry May would usually stand in if Middlo was unavailable. Belle Vue and Wolves are midweek tracks as are all Premiership teams - as you well know - so it was only very occasionally that Middlo missed a meeting. It's the Friday-Sunday away meetings that could be the issue as that is when his business is open to the public. A bit like when Rosco has a brewery.meeting and Lee Kilby steps in! ! Or Hawkins is missing physically as well as tactically and Louis steps in.@! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawkins is a poor manager tactically But i give him great credit that he managed to motivate the team in the semi final after the capitulation at Poole in the first leg....and the fact that Poole had won twice at Foxhall already....thats some great man management skills to get one over on Muddlo...........heck Poole even used an 'injury' to Holder to try and squirm their way through! Over the 2 legs Hawkins was able to outwit Middlo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over the 2 legs Hawkins was able to outwit Middlo I doubt he motivated anyone tbh, all down to the riders. I wonder who the other manager will be?

Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted November 18, 2019 Would be a good option! Havvy is a Poole legend! The third heat leader option sounds promising if it comes off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
