FORMER Colchester United head coach John McGreal has left his role as manager of Swindon Town after a month in the role.
McGreal, along with former U's goalkeeper coach Rene Gilmartin who was assistant manager with the Robins, have agreed to mutually terminate their contracts with the League Two club.
In a joint statement, they said: “This is a decision we both have made, as we feel we are not able to carry out our duties as Manager and Assistant Manager.
"Our intention from day one was to build a football team to compete in this league, but unfortunately due to the current circumstances the club is facing, we do not feel we are able to do that."
Sad news, clearly the problems at the County Ground are of Everest proportions.

Feel sorry for John but he obviously didn't read the media as the problems at Swindon were well documented.
Trouble is he has now missed out on some decent jobs which were available a month ago.
Really hope he finds something soon |  | | |

Having watched England's second half non-performance on Tuesday, I reckon he's been lined up to replace Southgate. |  | | |

Feel sorry for John and Rene - hope at least they got a reasonable pay-off for their curtailed contracts at Swindon. Never liked them as a club, and this reinforces that opinion. |  |

I have some affection for the Wiltshire club and feel for their fans, whereas I had no sympathy with Bury fans. Two stories that might amuse..
One Valentines Day , Swindon were offering "couples, two for the price of one" admission. As we departed the CUSA bus, I blew John Tweed a kiss, grabbed his hand and we duly paid said advantageous tariff. No quibbles from the obviously diversity aware (or couldn't care less) enlightened ticket seller. Not sure if others followed suit, but we now claim the record for the briefest engagement on record. It lasted as long as it took us to get through the turnstile and to wash said hands. Our wives were sympathetic when we explained the circumstances that drove us into this outrageous affair.
Not sure if it was the same evening, but I recall writing in my U'sual match report a description of a ball boy that could not have been wetter if he had been strapped to the prow of a trawler. The U's were time wasting and his contribution to the U's hanging on to claim the points was awesome. I don't think I have seen anybody so reluctant to leave the limited shelter and retrieve the ball.
Best wishes to John and Rene, hope they find roles soon. Should never have left the Jobsworth in my humble opinion. But Mullins offers renewed hope. |  | | |
