Swindon boss Wellens on promotion: It's a hollow feeling

Swindon Town boss Richie Wellens admits winning promotion from League Two has left him feeling empty.

Following League Two's decision to call the season early, the Swindon chief is guaranteed promotion on a points- projection system — with the Robins expected to go up as champions.

But the former Manchester United midfielder told The Sun: “I have this hollow feeling inside. Obviously, I'm bursting with pride for my two lads.

“And getting into League One will mean my first promotion as a manager and, points predictions or not, I know we deserve to go up.

“Yet these are strange, difficult times and I have very mixed emotions."
