Didn't something similar happen with the signing of Sam Lavelle?
We pretty much had the deal tied up but then kept him waiting as we was enquiring on another target then that fell though so we signed Sam last minute.
It all seems a bit chaotic to me that we might have a agreement with Ben in some sorts but we are still potentially looking for someone higher profile maybe but have Ben if we can't?
I'm sure on Zoom, Steve Gallen said the St Johnstone captain was the first choice but when he when to Wigan, Sam Lavelle was the next to go on the famous 1to5 list that Steve has.
I think the Sandgaard lot just don’t really understand how the football media works. It’s fair enough to an extent, it runs like an absolute insane asylum. Foreign owners and managers (though typically less so these days) are often surprised by the levels of scrutiny, leaks and focus on the day to day. I imagine the reason they keep piping up is because the reports aren’t technically true; I reckon no deal with Garner is agreed until his coaches are also on board, so as far as they’re concerned the story isn’t accurate. There’s not really any reason to not let the story sit there slightly incorrect though, and it really doesn’t help to have them being so contradictory in public. It’s been long enough that they should just adapt to the media. They suck, it’s annoying, let it go Sandgaards
After last night's posts on Twitter, I reached out to Raelynn on Facebook instant messenger, as we are both highly active posters on the "Daily BADASS motivational quotes and memes" group.
Raelynn responded this morning - and whilst she regrets responding to Rich Cawley after a night indulging in fine wine and rich cuisine - she stands by her comments.
The main reason for the delay are Raelynn and Thomas's lingering concerns that Garner does not have sufficient BDE (Big Dick Energy) for the position. Apparently, this is one of the most important criteria for the role - and was even included as a bullet point on the job description.
Raelynn confirmed that they are still interviewing, and are looking for a candidate with a level of BDE that will "make your eyes water" (her words).
Interesting side note - apparently Nigel Adkins has BDE in spades. So much so, that Thomas would refuse to leave Adkins alone in a room with Raelynn.
Thought it was her Dad who was the fan. Not sure she’s into football tbh.
I spoke to her a few years back, she said with her dad and brothers she hadn't got a choice. Think she follows us vicariously through her family rather than avidly.
Quantum physics can explain the situation very simply. At any given moment Garner has both signed and not signed. The more he has signed the less he has signed and obviously vice versa. I don’t get all the confusion.
Quantum mechanics is the meaning of life. The signing of Ben Garner can only happen when no one is watching. This is Heisenberg uncertainty principle meets Schrödinger's cat. Charlton's fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.
Relax . It has always happened and also will never happen. I should add that The illusion of self once dispelled releases all Charlton fans from causality and critically hope. The absence of hope is immortality for it is hope that kills. . Live laugh and be happy also do not.

Her post doesn't mean Garner isn't signing. Cawley says he's agreed a 2 year deal. She says that's not correct. Doesn't mean he isn't signing, it could mean that he's agreed a 3 year deal!
Whatever the reason is, it now just winds everybody up and no one knows what is going on.
Would have been for the best if Mrs Sandgaard had not said a thing and we would have found out early this week what’s being announced.
Can’t understand why she would do that.
But if she knows the information to be false, then why can't she say anything? She's certainly closer to the deal makers than Cawley is.
Then do it through the official club channels.
For me it’s mainly the ambiguity of the statement. A tweet saying ‘Understand this not to be correct’ sounds like something you would hear RonnieMoore write on here.
It was in response to Cawley saying: "Understand that to be correct"
Could be any one detail that is incorrect, term, salary, structure etc
I have a feeling neither TS or Mrs TS appreciate Cawley reaching out to leaks in the club rather than contacting direct.
It’s amateurish. If they have an issue with anything Rich puts out they can very easily contact him privately or they can publish a statement via the club setting the record straight if necessary.
This smacks of “we’ll decide what is said and when” and that’s a battle they will never win.
More important, if you’re “still interviewing” five weeks after your own decision to remove the manager I’d suggest you have a bigger problem.
Just suppose an earlier target from the A list that for whatever reason didn’t happen suddenly came back into view as a possibility ? What would you do as the owner, follow that avenue to see where it leads or let it drop. Nothing it would appear has ink on it so until it has either party can walk away. This is without doubt the most important appointment in Charltons recent history. Sandgaard has to get this right or at least be a thorough as is possible. Far too many people are being critical and those self same people will find fault whatever the outcome.
So, sorry to say this but it is WIOTOS, it will be a big photoshoot with all the protagonists present and Thomas in the middle giving it large like he always does..
Shucks, it looks like I failed big time..humble pie being eaten as we speak..mind a few words cut and pasted from the whole post eh,..do i get an assist for the likes..

Maybe if Garner is coming in and bringing his own set up then some other people at the club need to be spoken to and it's their compensation that's needs sorting which is perhaps why nothing is being announced yet
Amazed at the amount of flags and bunting up the Mall these days,culminating at that huge house ,Buckingham Palace, according to my 1962 A-Z---- I said to this bloke, who are the folk on the balcony, that look like they have, spent big ,at the costume shop. He said dunno mate I'm waiting for Thomas Sandgaard to appear up there, and anounce the next Charlton manager

Thomas wasn't even in the country when either of them were announced was he?
Will be this time, yep, can just see him saying, leave me out after all this bloody big build up..
I don't buy that is all done and he is just holding it back for a photo opp. It's obviously not done is it because he can't stop Swindon announcing it if its done?
Cawley said he has agreed a contract, doesn't say its signed/done deal. If he hasn't agreed a contract the hold up isn't compo for his staff is it?

Agreed, we are on the same page as well as reading different books.

There’s no need to bring me into this 🥵
Not wanting to boast, but I look forward to some BDE and custard when the season of exciting football arrives!!😜

A new concoction after Sue Perkins canapés, but made with a kind of plastic.

Seems like nothing has changed.

A few weeks ago it was Ben who... Now its the bloke thats going to save us!
So underwhelmed after a season to end seasons of total sh*t and now this.
It would be a tough ask to make most fans believe that we can pull off promotion this year but we live in hope.
