Thank you, Sir David, for a wonderful memory.

Thought I'd give the tennis forum another go, see if we can catch some action.

Swindon Town manager John McGreal has left the League Two side after a month in charge of the Robins.

Long-serving chief executive Steve Anderson has also left the club, which is currently embroiled in legal proceedings surrounding its ownership.

Owner Lee Power is facing FA charges regarding the ownership and funding of the side.

Former Colchester boss McGreal only joined Swindon on 26 May and leaves having never taken charge of a game.

His assistant Rene Gilmartin is also leaving the County Ground having only joined six days later.

McGreal signed two players - goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott and defender Pierce Sweeney - earlier this month as he started to rebuild a side relegated from League One last season having retained nine members of that squad and offered new deals to three more.

But in a joint statement on the club website, McGreal and Gilmartin said they did not believe that would be possible given the current uncertainty at Swindon.

"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," they said.

"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.

"We have signings ready to be announced. However, the legal proceedings involving the ownership has not allowed us to do so, making our positions at the club untenable."

More problems for troubled Swindon
Lee Power on the side lines at Swindon
Lee Power took control at Swindon in December 2013 and had a brief spell as interim manager in 2015-16 following the sacking of Mark Cooper
In April, Power, along with sports agency First Touch Pro Management and its company director Michael Standing were charged with breaching FA rules on ownership.

Standing, a former Aston Villa trainee who had spells at Bradford and Walsall, had previously stated he acquired 50% of Swindon's holding company when Power bought the Robins in 2013.

But under FA regulations, agents are not allowed to own clubs because of potential conflicts of interest.

It is the latest twist in a chequered recent history for the club, which won the League Two title on average points per game in 2020 after the season was ended early because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last season the Robins struggled in League One, ending the campaign second-from bottom having seen promotion-winning manager Richie Wellens leave for Salford City in November.

He was replaced by experienced former Plymouth Argyle, Chesterfield and Oldham boss John Sheridan, but he left in April having been unable to turn their fortunes around.

In February, Power said the Robins were "on the brink" of bankruptcy having previously warned in May 2020 that Swindon could go into administration after he failed to overturn an injunction to prevent him selling the club to an American company.

Analysis
BBC Radio Wiltshire sport presenter Marie Indge

It's been a challenging few weeks for McGreal and Gilmartin, their time at the club has been marred by ongoing High Court battles surrounding ownership of the club.

Relegation to League Two left Swindon with significantly depleted number of players in the squad.

The management clearly have not been able to bring in the players they wanted and pre-season training starts on Monday.

Off the field, fans are being urged to stay away from home games by supporters groups until the ownership issues are resolved, but the High Court trial is not due to start until 6 September.

Now that the Euros are effectively over for me, here is the latest news from La Belle France.

https://www.letour.fr/en/overall-route should tell you everything you need to know. Just about back to normal for Le Tour, with the notable exception of rigorous Covid requirements - although these do not mention the riders much, presumably in their own bubbles (try telling the mountain stage spectators!). The first week will see no serious mountain stages, then moving into the Alps in week two and the Pyrenees in week 3, followed by the Paris procession.

As usual, I will throw a few names into the hat for the various categories.
GC - Primoz Roglic (having learned from last year's last racing day collapse), with Pogacar, Porte, Alaphilippe and Uran all making their mark.
Points - Caleb Ewan with Peter Sagan impossible to ignore and Van Aert and Demare also serious challengers, even Cavendish on his day.
Mountains - Tajed Pogacar will be my favourite, but Carapaz, Porte, Roglic and Geoghan Hart should not be too far away.

Also as usual, my viewing time will be limited, but I'll try to give regular updates. You're all welcome to join me as often or as little as you like.

I LOVE finishing the season against Barnsley.
7 - 0, anyone?

2 points for a correct result
4 points for a correct score
2 points for each correct scorer
Correct joker doubles your score        
Wrong joker result gives you minus 2
Only one joker per round of games

The format will be that everybody takes part for the first round games and the round of 16. I will compile the results into a table and then the top 8 will play off against each other for the quarter finals, semis and then the final. That will be 1st in the table v 8th placed etc.

If there are tied scores in the top 8, positions will be decided on alphabetical order.

Then in the knock out competition from the quarter finals onwards, a tie will be decided by the position in the original top 8. Obviously if that's a tie as well, alphabetical order won't be used. I'll have to think of summat else. You don't need to change your name to begin with A.  

Similarly, if there's a tie for 8th and 9th, I'll have to think about it.  

I've made a democratic decision with myself and that is that in Matchday 4, I will pick a random game and ask you all to predict the total number of corners as a tie breaker. Closest one gets the nod.

Knockout stages:
In the event of a draw, it's half the points if you've predicted a draw when it gets to 90 mins and the full points if it's still a draw after extra time. Half the points will be awarded for correctly predicting the winner of the match if it goes to penalties.

Saturday 26th June:
Wales v Denmark (17:00)
Italy v Austria (20:00)

Sunday 27th June:
Netherlands v Czech Republic (17:00)
Belgium v Portugal (20:00)

Monday 28th June:
Croatia v Spain (17:00)
France v Switzerland (20:00)

Tuesday 29th June:
England v Germany (17:00)
Sweden v Ukraine (20:00)

Tie breaker to sort out players level on points to determine last 8 places:
What will be the total number of corners in the Sweden v Ukraine match?

1. Devongone = 64 pts

Germany in the last 16 it is. It's going to be a tough match as Germany have got some good strikers and attacking midfielders but there defence isn't that great. This game is going to be THE real test and I think Southgate may as well just go for it, instead of playing defensive football, just go for it and play attacking football and hope we come through it.
