Quinn backs Howe to win tactical battle against Di Canio (From Swindon Advertiser)

Don't forget, he's obviously probed with questions on who will win the league, how their style contrast etc etc and someone writes up a favourable article for the local rag. Town fans a bit knee jerk in my opinion. Soon people will be blame Sam Morshead for reporting it and squabbling over spelling errors in the comments section.

What a plonker. Yes Jimmy, if a bigger club came in for Paolo (which they probably will sooner rather than later) he will jump ship. Rather like Eddie Howe did to Burnley, even though he would "die for the club" (yeah right). He came back because he prefers it down south but if Southamptoh, for instance, came in for him he'd be off like a shot.

One thing I do agree with Jimmy about though is "the only thing holding Swindon back is di Canio". You only have to look at Paolo's awful record since he's been here, and you wonder where we could be with a semi-competant manager at the helm.

Disappointed to read this, Jimmy was a fantastic striker for us and a legend who did fantastically well under Lou Macari so I feel a bit let down with these comments! I agree that Eddie Howe HAS done fantastically well for Bournemouth and I take my hat off to him, but considering were we were 2 years ago Paolo has arguably done a better job, and Bournemouth have had big financial backing in the last 2 years! Lets hope Quinn's comment spur the team on to a good result. Tomorrow will show us how good we really are!

Lazaat,

Not quite correct mate. Eddie Howe got us promoted from L2 while under under a transfer embargo using 15/16 players all season. On one occasion a 15 year old was driven up to Shrewsbury after school to allow us to have 3 on the sub bench. The next season we made the play-off despite Eddie Howe leaving for Burnley. The whole squad bar Marc Pugh and Jalal were sold the next season to clear debts and it is only this season that we have been financially bank rolled by the Russian but unfortunately gave it to the worst manager in our history.

One thing that all Bournemouth and Swindon fans will agree on is that Quinn talks cr*p and won't take any notice of what he has to say. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow as I reckon it could be a great game and a fantastic advert for L1 football. Hope that you have a good journey down to Bournemouth (because I will be on the same road!!) and hopefully you will enjoy the game but not the result.

Soory to hear of the 800 job losses at Honda. Would be nice if the club did something for those in a tricky situation.

It's his opinion - what's wrong with that? Most of what he says is true. I don't think they will win the league but we all know our manager is a showman. Quinn can have his opinion and so can everyone else so don't all start crying about it because someone fancies another team on the day.

Quinn leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Whatever he has ever done/not done for Swindon Town, I had the displeasure of sitting on the next table to him in a local Indian once, and to hear the way he was talking about our beloved club almost caused a fight.
.
He'll never be anything more than a muppet in my eyes, and his words mean nothing.

Why is everyone so touchy? It's only the bloke's opinion. I couldn't care less what he thinks but it's the same as what many people outside our STFC world - and some within it - think. Doubtless if Quinn had given this interview to the Adver he would have phrased his answers differently and there would have been a flood of appreciative comments on here. People will change their opinions of PDC soon enough if he gets us promoted and makes a good job of keeping us up there - which I think he will.

The longer they think this the less offers he'll get... and his comments certainly seem to have brought the Town fans together. Only a few weeks ago a lot on here would have been agreeing with him LOL

Anyway, weren't Tranmere the in-form team a few weeks ago?

An early goal for us tomorrow and who knows how many we'll get. I'm backing us for 3-0
COYRS!

You have got to be joking. Give ur head a shake son, Eddie Howe go to the Scummers, behave yourself. As a lifelong Bournemouth fan as well as being manager Eddie would never set foot in St Faries, he had the oppertunity and turned it down before Adkins took the job. I am a little surprised by JQ though, i thought he was clueless, but it seems he does recognise real class afterall. Good luck for tomoz, you are gonna need it.!!!!.

You must have used the same golf course as me . Heard him spouting off to his mates in the bar telling them he was going to be the next swindon manager and ricki c##t had promised him the job, this was about a month before mc mahon was sacked .

No WB Jayden ! He was always up there as well , in fact I think he spent more time playing bloody golf than he did training with Swindon Town .

Avo, I didn't say I objected to anyone disagreeing with Quinn's opinion. I disagree with it myself. What I can't understand is why many people seem angry about it and in some cases have even decided to be abusive. Football is famous for dividing opinions. PDC probably divides them more than most people in the game. It's obvious that there are many outsiders who have a low opinion of him. I don't care what they think, but if they are going to air their views, I would rather they did so honestly than come out with mealy-mouthed platitudes, carefully constructed to ensure they don't sound anything like criticism. You know the sort of thing. Some "pundits" do it all the time. On the other hand, Steve Claridge, for instance, says what he thinks and gets slaughtered on here for it. Some people say he dislikes us. Maybe he does. Maybe he dislikes PDC as well. I don't care whether he does or not, but I like him because he's not afarid to say what he thinks. Long live healthy and civilised argument.
