  • Got a message before the Mansfield game from a Rovers mate who reckoned we were in for Nigel Clough, don’t shoot the messenger!
  • I presume from what you say that you didn't believe Thomas when this question wss raised with him a few weeks before and he confirmed that JJ was def going to be manager the following season. Do you think it was professional for MS to discuss doubt about manager with a player while Jacko thinks he is still going to be the manager?
    A few weeks before. As I keep trying to say nobody can be surprised if you fail to meet the criteria of your contract. Maybe I'm just a bit harsh because my entire working life has been in a results oriented environment where if you miss your targets your toast. If JJ was in anyway surprised when he heard the news I would suggest he was very naive that's all

    Maybe TS thought he would when asked, or later changed his mind. His prerogative! Who knows what MS knew for sure at the time CW asked him about a new contract. Asked a direct question, perhaps he should have said he couldn't discuss it, but it sounds as though he naively answered honestly to the best of his knowledge.

    You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs and we all make mistakes. What's done is done and I think we need to move on. CW has!

    I'm posting under the influence BTW!

    The most likely scenario is that the deal has been done & Garner is our coach/manager.
    Sandgaard (the band) released their debut EP this week, which will be taking up TS's time.
    I expect the deal to be announced this week when TS comes over from the US.

    Crap. Wont ever pass for music. 

    So, Thomas is now having to not only concentrate on his main business of running a Nasdaq listed company he is recording EP's too. Just wondering how much of his time a piddly football club on the other side of the Atlantic takes up......

    2% ???

    Sounds like aging musicians trying to recreate their 80s heyday.  As a fan of 1980s rock/metal it is ok but jaded. 
  • That way he can make it all about him. Maybe even write a song for the grand unveiling.
    I think he's only over to play the National Anthem on guitar atop Buckingham Palace.

    Or he could be  doing the polite, professional thing and meet his new manager in person and give him his support, seeing as he’s relying on the fella to prove he is not just spunking money on nothing. If he wants to put a bit of his pazzazz on it, that’s up to him, it’s his money not ours.

    That doesnt stop it from being annouced though does it? and why deny it and tell a random on linkedin theyre still interviewing people knowing thta´ll probably be all over the internet 10 mins later. It can be annouced and he can still parachute into the Valley with a copy of the contract to sign to his latest single.

    Drooling ???? Its a matter of opinion as to whether you think who has the better connections. Beale is at Villa currently and close to Gerrard, who has a long time Liverpool and England International. That's going to help.
    Glad to see you have rowed back on Beales connections being entirely mythical. I am going to leave it at that, as a) its pulling over the fine details of something unlikely to happen - Beale arriving and b) life is too short.
    Think you need to go back over the thread. I’m sure you’re right though. Beale could easily give Gerrard a ring and say look can you please ring up Liverpool and see who they’ve got to loan to a third tier London club. I’m actually quite sure that neither Beale or Garner can use their out of date contacts to help Charlton. Beale maybe has the edge if Villa have any players over Garner looking to loan from Swindon.
  • Good to hear he has his priorities sorted....
    No worries we have martin to run the club  :o
  • We all know TS is unconventional....what if he's considering something pioneering and never seen in English football before?

    Inspired by the Gritt/ Curbishley "duo of managers" which triggered our most successful recent period he is now implementing a "quartet of managers" and is due to announce Garner, Clough, Taylor and Beale as football's fantastic foursome?

    4 times the brains = 4 times the success. 

    The more I think about this the more I like it.
    I think you’re right, there’s definitely something in this. In the summer they could be a rock band while Martin is bringing in signings. Extra revenue for the club too through regular gigs at The Valley.
  • Well Ancellotti it is then 
  • Nah, didn't win anything with Everton so not good enough for us

     :s 
    Keep telling you he is yesterday's man!

    Probably approached Mansfield earlier and were told to go away until after play off final. Would explain the "still interviewing" remark if we were waiting to talk to him.

    Still expecting Garner. Better fit for TS model.
  • Sounds like clutching at straws to me.

    The next name might well be the manager that has just left Dartford FC !
