Swindon fan in peace.
I see that we are considering offering a contract to Mark Fotheringham who used to play for you and at one point was your captain - it seems there was a fall-out and he left the club.
Do you think he would be a good short-term signing for us?
Very impressed with how you're doing in the Premiership, sincere congratulations.
Cheers
Mark Fotheringham

Thanks for the congrats. Was it really just a couple of years ago we were fighting it out at the top of league one?
Shame to see you down in league two, but good to see you going well. Big fan of Paolo, just the sort of character to get the best out of the team.
Now to the bad news - I just can't think of a single good thing to say about Mark Fotheringham. I've no idea how he was made captain, but he was the worst one in the worst Norwich team I've seen in fifty years.
Roundly hated by the fans, stormed off down the tunnel after being substituted - hardly played a captain's role there! Luckily he was never seen again.
Sorry about all the negativity, but I'm sure you'd prefer honesty.
Good luck with your promotion run.

Thanks for the honest reply, I hope it comes to nothing. Apparently it's only for cover so at worst I can see us lumbered until the end of season with a short-term contract. We'd be better saving the wages though, we're still paying a few of Paolo's early foreign signings, most of whom were hopeless and don't figure now.
It's good to see you doing so well and showing that a real team with proper supporters can not only survive but thrive in the Premiership. I hope you can hang on to your excellent manager. Whilst you went on to great things we went into free-fall, but that's football! We're on the up now and enjoying it.
Really hope you beat Man United on Saturday, to me they represent everything that's bad in the world of corporate brand names and rampant commercialism (to say nothing of their ghastly manager and loathsome players).
Feel better after that rant! Good luck tomorrow.
