It’s quite alarming, if true, that we’re still interviewing candidates.2

Sooner is obviously better than later, but Thomas cannot afford (quite possibly literally) to get it wrong again.2 -
I'd hope something is done this week , regardless of who it is. Garner an interesting name to throw into the mix and not someone I'd really considered but has clearly done a good job with limited time to put a squad together at Swindon2

Always worth remembering that if we’re after Beale, Taylor and the rest, then so are other clubs.It’s possibly unlikely that we’ll get our first choice. Or even our second choice. We’ll see.0

We are not entitled, or comparing to previous shit owners, TS “bashers” or stupid, we are simply concerned fans. TS is the owner, but has said and done some bizarre things which give cause for concern, and done some of those things very strangely. His son knows SFA about football and an estimation of 10x the average sky viewer is an overestimate by about 10. Recruitment and some of the back room structure is and continues to be an issue, concerns over management and new player recruitment are equally valid. Let everyone have their say without sweeping generalizations or insults. Doesn’t need to be that way just because some don’t agree. It’s all opinion and conjecture and no-one on this forum has the “I’m always right” stick.Assuming very few of the people on here have worked for a professional football club or played or managed at a professional level, we all still post about players, managers, clubs, training, formation, tactics and share our views/concerns, but apparently someone with absolutely no football connection, no football CV and probably not posting on this forum is not fair game unless I am lifelong mates with him.That’s really your point to a post simply asking for a little more tolerance of different views? Good grief.My original post has been deleted and the forum closed for me. I hate social media, have no twitterverse accounts and this type of response definitely reinforces the view that people are better of without it.The difference being I wouldn’t be “Jesus Christing” all over the place about your opinion or introducing rules around how or why you form an opinion. Tell you what, when MS is employed or headhunted by another professional football league side in any of the top 5 divisions I shall happily admit my assumptions around his football knowledge was wrong. how about that? I’d also delete my original post if I hadn’t already done so.
Meantime I refer you to the main point of the post, rather than this ludicrous side track, but, to be fully frank, I really don’t give two tuppeny fucks what you think, it’s my opinion and I am Okay with it, thanks
Reply away, it will be ignored.

I'm definitely going to get my season ticket purchased now. Maidstone Utd are doing some great deals.1

Surprised Sandman didn't have a new gaffer lined up. Fancy a squad going away for the summer with no manager. And potential new recruits will never sign for a managerless club.
I suspect TS has learned nothing from his Adkinsian balls up. This new guy must be installed this week.

if garner was on the original list and we had to wait until Swindon's season was over, not alarming
if he is being interviewed because the original targets have all said no, alarming1 -

If beale is our man then It will have to be announced today, the season being over and ground work to be done0

IAgree said:Garner sounds an interesting candidate and his experience at Swindon would prepare him well - good win rate as well.
However…….
“Of course we talked to Michael. We’ve also been a little more ambitious than that, in terms of the level of managers we’ve been reaching for.”Apart from being insulting and the reports suggest this isn’t happening, you have to wonder what “really ambitious” would look like? Conference?
After 20 days how has “more ambitious” than Beale morphed into a league two manager?
I can think of a simple scenario to answer it though. What if the list of ambitious managers has been whittling down and he is left with no options other than less appealing ones.
TS has interviews with more ambitious manager options they love his idea of getting to the Premier league.
Then TS provides them with the contract to sign. Clause1. You don't get autonomy to pick your own players. Clause 2. I can sack you at anytime we are not in top place in the league. At such time I only need to pay you 5% of your contract. Manager says "Thanks but No Thanks".
OK don't start threating this is tongue in cheek.
This is in jest but if there is a hint of this it would turn off better candidates.0 -
We may still be interviewing to give us alternatives / plan B in case plan A doesn’t accept or we just want to be thorough. There were a LOT of applicants
a new manager isn’t going to have made much impact with the previous season still ongoing so we’ve really not missed out on much I wouldn’t think. The players are all away, the recruitment team are beavering away on an assortment of targets and things will get into action in a couple of weeks - presumably with a new manager in place by then.
until then I’m not alarmed. If we are being thorough I am not alarmed. If we have plenty of interest I am not alarmed
if lots of people are rejecting us, I’m alarmed but don’t believe this to be the case.
