Sturrock In Swindon Exit

Paul Sturrock has reportedly left Swindon Town and is about to make a dramatic return as manager of Plymouth Argyle.

The Daily Mail has reported that Sturrock left Swindon late on Friday evening and could even be in charge of the Pilgrims for their Championship clash away to Sheffield United today.

The 51-year old former Sheffield Wednesday manager guided the Pilgrims to promotion from the old Third Division in 2002 and then two years later with Argyle on the verge of winning the Division Two title, Sturrock left to join Southampton in the Premiership.

While at Home Park Sturrock struck up a close friendship with Argyle chairman Paul Stapleton and the two have kept in close contact since Sturrock left Argyle in 2004.

Sturrock was a big favourite with the Argyle fans and his appointment will be met with almost universal agreement although there are some fans who believe that the former Southampton boss is better suited to lower league management.
