    Even at EFL clubs, managers seem to have teams of people with them. Not just Bloomfield sacked. That's the Lee Harrison who came  through our academy in the 90s, but never played a 1st team game.

    Bloomfield's assistant Richard Thomas, first-team coach Lee Harrison and analyst Ben Cirne have also left Kenilworth Road.
    This was part of the problem with the Garner appointment, we brought over the wrong part of his back room team

    The only problem with the Garner appointment was that we appointed Garner. Shit manager.
    Him, Holden and Appleton all three who should never have even been thought about, let alone appointed.
    I could see the logic appointing Garner - young coach, had a decent season in the league below playing good football, apparently highly thought of as a coach at Palace etc.

    What made no sense was TS appointing a manager to change the style of play when he was planning to cut the budget and not give a manager anything to work with to change that style of play.   Doomed to fail, and if he was planning that sort of cutbacks then sticking with Jackson who was more pragmatic made so much more sense.
    This ^ , TS's muddled thinking around what he " wanted" playing style wise was so frustrating. You appoint Garner who needed players to play a very exact style and then don't give him the proper backing to do it and wonder why it failed.

    Surely Garner has to take some blame there also
    - Knew what we had when he joined
    - Got no assurance of what he could spend
    - Failed as as result

    Obv we don't know what he was promised by TS, but there is no way NJ signs a five year deal without cast iron committment to the spend we got in the summer.

    And I have a suspicion about managers who can only play one way, and require an entire squad to be built around their style of play.
