Former Manchester United manager Ron Atkinson is to make a shock return to football in a consultancy role at League One strugglers Swindon.
Atkinson, who has been out of the game since losing a TV punditry job due to racist remarks about Marcel Desailly, will work with manager Iffy Onuora.

"It'll be great to be round a club again. It's been a long time," he said.

"I am not going there to do a Clive Woodward. Iffy is the manager and I am there when he needs me."

Swindon deputy chairman Mark Devlin added: "We hope that Ron's experience and contacts can help us stay in League One."

It was in April 2004, after Chelsea's defeat by Monaco in the semi-final of the European Cup, when Atkinson made an off-air remark about then Chelsea defender Desailly.

"I don't want to go there, I've apologised. End of story," said Atkinson. "I will put my track record up against anybody. Not just with footballers, but my record with people. It's gone, it's over, time to draw a line under it.

"Being called a racist annoyed me. It hurt me, but I'm not annoyed now. I understand what followed, I shouldn't have said it. I know that."

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
