Goodbye Navy Seals and hypothetical daughters, hello mermaids and badgers in mating season.

Not got a clue what’s going on? Well don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Ian Holloway has replaced Mark Kennedy in the top job at Swindon Town, as the Robins opt for another completely different type of full-time manager. For the fourth time in three-and-a-bit years.

The appointments under majority shareholder Clem Morfuni, since his victory over Lee Power in the courts, read as follows: Scott Lindsey (progressive, inexperienced); Gavin Gunning (temporary, mad); Jody Morris (elite academy success); Gavin Gunning (temporary, mad); Michael Flynn (EFL experience); Gavin Gunning; Mark Kennedy (data data data); Mad Gav.
