SWINDON TOWN: McCormack reinstated as captain
6:00am Saturday 23rd February 2013 in Sport By Sam Morshead
Alan McCormack
SWINDON Town’s joint caretaker managers Tommy Miller and Darren Ward will return the captaincy of the club to Alan McCormack.
McCormack was stripped of the armband by the Robins’ former boss Paolo Di Canio on Saturday after the Italian took exception to the defender missing training to go to his doctor for a check-up.
The Advertiser understands the Irishman, who had been suffering with flu for several days, was sent home from Liddington last Friday because of illness and chose to seek a diagnosis before meeting up with the rest of the squad.
Simon Ferry was named as skipper for the 3-1 victory at Tranmere in League One on Tuesday but Miller has revealed that McCormack will lead the team out when they entertain Preston at the County Ground this weekend.
“Alan McCormack is going to be our captain. We see no reason to change it,” he said. “There was an issue regarding Alan and Paolo last week which resulted in Alan getting the armband taken away from him but Alan is going to be our captain.
“He’s been captain all season and we feel he is the right man to lead us on, whether it be for one game, two games or the rest of the season.”
Miller and Ward are hoping to bring in extra help ahead of the visit of Preston. Miller has been studying for his UEFA B coaching badge but has yet to achieve it.
The club’s youth academy has three men capable of filling that role in Paul Bodin, Jeremy Newton and former Hereford manager Jamie Pitman but Swindon may recruit from outside on an interim basis.
Miller said: “The mood has been good. We’re both in the team so we have had to step out a bit and look at it so ideally it would be nice to have someone in who could come in to help out.”
Meanwhile, Michael Peacock has been appointed as Swindon Town’s interim fitness and conditioning coach.
The 28-year old has experience in a variety of sports and has spent time with League One outfit Leyton Orient.

Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Now time to move on you crazy diamond.

Let's all pull together. Cheer the lads on, and let's take revenge for the match at Preston, as well as keep our deserved place on top of the league. Will be glued to the text tomorrow hoping for another performance like Tranmere. Gutted I can't be there in person.

As mentioned above, I really hope that Italinans name is not sung today. I think he has called the new boards bluff, and lost. He realises how much he was loved here and realises that now fans are dissapointed by his actions and that idol worship has been replaced with anger. The Bury manager last night after their 4-1 loss at Notts County was explaining post match that his club are under embargo and have relied on non contract players. They are in the bottom 4 and have no money, period. That Italian had no such worries. Already Tommy and Darren have shown more sence and maturity by appointing Alan Mac back as captain and included Luke Rooney in first team training.

Paolo has gone and won't be coming back...time to move on and I for one certainly hope that anyone with respect for our temp duo in charge wont sing Paolo's name. We need to get right behind our players & temp management today and not start chanting anything to do with ghosts of the past!

Thee players must have been on a knife edge with his rants. He fell out with players far too easily. It was crazy leaving Luke Rooney out in the cold when we have had situations where we cannot field 7 subs. It was this kind of judgement that leaves him far from the finished product. I hope for his sake he learns from his past mistakes.

Although I was a big fan of him & did not want him to leave I will not be supporting his return.
1.My club is bigger than him.
2.Its turning into to the di canio show & draging my club thru the mud.
3.I dont like what ive been reading but i do need to hear di canio side.
4.If it means the club surviving, I would prefer to stay in Div 1 & achieve promotion with hard work, not just money, look at Pompey situation.
5. I want my kids & their kids to enjoy the same highs & lows as I have over my life time as a supporter.
Of course this is my opinion no one elses.

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Now time to move on you crazy diamond.
I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like.
Those were the days!

Although I was a big fan of him & did not want him to leave I will not be supporting his return.
1.My club is bigger than him.
2.Its turning into to the di canio show & draging my club thru the mud.
3.I dont like what ive been reading but i do need to hear di canio side.
4.If it means the club surviving, I would prefer to stay in Div 1 & achieve promotion with hard work, not just money, look at Pompey situation.
5. I want my kids & their kids to enjoy the same highs & lows as I have over my life time as a supporter.
Of course this is my opinion no one elses.”
