  • Hope this isn't why we extended Davison

    Garner is still being considered. But is up against a lot more quality candidates. Doesn't mean he won't get the job, just passing on what I'm being told...
    So I guess the question is, who leaked the story and for what purpose...?
    Can only assume it's come from the other side. Don't believe Cawley has been told anything by the club since the recruitment process began. Obviously don't know for sure though. 
  • Tbf to him he is one of them coaches where the more you read the more you can get behind it, but still a bit of a wet flannel of an appointment (that could be the best flannel?)
  • Mate knows a Swindon player , I've asked him about the fella , will report back if he gets a reply .

    Oz, really?
  • I know nothing about Garner hope he does well obviously. 
    But what was that Sandgaard said about "being a little more ambitious" than trying to get Beale?
    He is a prisoner of his own words. 
  • How long will he get if we start off the season struggling again? Surely TS won't want to make the same mistake twice and delay pulling the trigger like he did with NA. 
  • More of a head coach appointment which to be fair we all knew would be the case. Fair play what he did last season at Swindon but he was awful not long before that at Bristol Rovers.

    Time will tell but it could have been stuck the devil you know

    From my view appoint a new manager and they should get 3 seasons but it is dfficult because I have grown to hate L1.  So play offs minimum Yr1 and minimum by Yr3 in Championship.

    Ok, fair enough,  I woken up a grumpy fucker. I'll have a cuppa and have a think about it.... 

    Right, I know he means well, and wants success across all forms of the club,  cat 1 academy status,  getting the woman's team promoted to the top tier etc.

    It's so refreshing and exciting to hear we have that vision again after so much miss management from previous owners. 

    However the club needs to build all this with a successful mens team. And he's failed on that so far for all the reasons we already know. 

    I will back BG if he's the man. I admit I know nothing of him, I'll listen to the podcast interview posted today. With Swindon having the best stats of L2, it's a good sign, but it's not the be all and end all. I hope for TS's and ours it's a shrewd appointment, and not just a 'black box' one. 


  • Welcome to Charlton Ben. I hope you do well enough to win over the fans. 
  • Thomas has just confirmed to me that they are still interviewing and that Jason Euell is staying.

    That's me sorted then. Best go & buy my ST now & await the 20+ goalscorer I've been banging on about since BWP left. 
  •  Luke Rooney, Ricky Lambert and Steve Parish have all praised Ben Garner either tonight or in the past as an excellent coach who can get his point across to players.
    A licence coach.

    Ben Garner is another coach who started young after an injury put paid to a football playing career. He was born in Pembury, Kent. Not sure if it was personal issues but he had a break after a month in the job and Bristol Rovers didn't quite work out and it was Lambert who recommended Garner for that job.

    The Swindon job he did very well as he had to bring so many players in as he only had a 7 a side team when he took over.

    Good record with young players, and Zaha, Johnnie Williams, Nat Clyne are just a few of the young player he helped in their development at Palace.

    Thomas Sandgaard may look on Twitter and change his mind; I wonder if that's why he told JR that interviewing is still going on ?  

    I believe he can do a good job but not if he is slagged off as soon as he loses his first game.


    At least we'll win a few more penalties next season  ;)
  • Nothings ever straight forward around here is it.
    I expect an appointment this week. 
    I’m not entirely sure if even Thomas knows who it is going to be at this moment in time. 
    He wants success but his decision making concerns me.
