    A brief pause ensues while people formulate how to criticise this statement. 
    I read and thought, don’t a lot of the leaks emanate from these individuals TS chooses to share things via LinkedIn from though?  

    Ie, they can’t have it both ways 

    No. No one on talking to Thomas on LinkedIn will have suggested it's done as the line on there was until recently that interviews were ongoing and we had a shortlist that had been wittled down to less than 5 (a week or so ago). The leaks are from elsewhere.
     
  • Can’t wait till we’re good enough for a club in a higher division to come and poach our coaches , director of football etc 

    imagine the bitching and teardrops from the worlds biggest crybaby supporters then ….
    look forward to that day 
  • Rather than this being about TS wanting to be centre of attention in the announcement (as pointed out he wasn’t for Adkins or Jackson) is this about TS feeling it gives him a stronger negotiating position, e.g. for the coaches salaries and Swindon’s compensation?

    Perhaps they want to give the impression they have another option as manager if deals can’t be agreed?

    It’s got to be resolved soon for Swindon’s season as well as ours.
  • All very non league, amateur. 
  • Scarfy is poised and the large lady is gargling. Thomas Sandgaard is in negotiations with Ollie Groome about if he gets double time for Sunday announcements. This may drag on to next week now but quite rightly Thomas Sandgaard didn't want this news to over shadow the Queen's Jubilee so fair play to him.
    Raelynn Maloney is a tease.

    Certainly not, that's far too logical.

    The leak has clearly come from the Swindon end because they are interviewing for a new manager.............

    If it was to give the impression to Swindon Town FC, I would have thought they won't believe it, as there would have been another leak in the same way as this one.  The only exception perhaps if another manager was not with a club currently.  Even then not likely to make the owner of Swindon not think he is holding an ace.
  • Don't forget that Swindon club and fans are in the same concern as us. Until we announce their manager is ours, they cannot bring in a new manager officially. I can imagine Swindon fans calling TS as many bad names as our fans

    Maybe, but then it’s also not logical to appoint your son as Director of Analysis.
  • Yes WIOTOS but that is an unnecessarily aggressive statement.

    So many people who read "incorrect" as "completely untrue".  

    Should have said nothing or at least no mentioned the press reports which are probably substantially correct (Garner is coming) but not 100% or at least not yet.(Garner and assistants are not yet a done deal).
    Completely agree with the "aggressive" comment. This is weapons grade weirdness. Some media outlets including one local paper/journo who is probably the best informed individual in the media regarding the club in recent times have written a few articles saying that a man will become our next manager in the coming days. We don't have a manager and haven't had one for a month, during which time we've presumably been looking for one quite intently and there are no competitive fixtures to distract us. Why is anything that's been written about Ben Garner controversial or worthy of a statement like that or interaction on social media like we've seen. Who, apart from Ben Garner himself or Swindon could possibly be offended by this? Any supposition this is part of some sort of negotiating strategy is hopefully incorrect or this lot are even more hapless than they make themselves appear.

    If we appoint him now how is he going to feel? And how much more stupid are our leadership team going to look.

    It's almost as if we as a fanbase collectively legged over the club legend and are being made to pay for it...

  • If it is Garner, feel like this is not a good start to his managership. If I was him I'd release my own statement saying "I've got several offera on the table and I'm taking my time to decide" before politely telling us to do one.

    Silly statement but equally we don’t know any of the private comms that have gone on between the clubs and individuals involved.

    I can’t work out why the necessity for this lunacy may exist but you never know.

    Garner and TS may be WhatsApping as we speak chuckling about how out of hand it’s got.

    Seems they can't win.

    Airman was on here earlier saying Sandgaard's mrs shouldn't be saying stuff on twitter, and the club should do it through official channels. Now they've done that people are saying they should've said nothing at all.

    That said i do agree it's all a bit of a mess, and i'm still convinced it'll be announced officially once TS arrives in London.

    WHEN?
  • TS it seems wants to make sure the whole deal for Garner and any assistants is done and dusted before he makes an announcement as he obviously feels things can fall apart at the last minute. I think we all need to be a little bit careful about slagging him and his missus off too much as he may wake up one day and think just why am I throwing 8 million a year of my limited savings at this club without any workable plan to get it back.

    2032 😉
  • I get the feeling Garner is only agreeing to come if his whole team are included in the package. That way compensation and contract negotiations would take slightly longer, surely.

    I doubt Garner would back out at this stage, and stay at Swindon, the only fly in the ointment, could be a rival club make a last ditch offer, as when a player gets tarted around by their agent and goes somewhere else at 11th hour. If that were to happen Chernobyl would look like a children's birthday cake compared to CL forum Next Manager thread. 
  • After their statement. If it’s still Ben Garner I have fully 180’d on our ownership.

    Not because of the management choice, but clearly Thomas is treating the club like a toy. So far the investment has been great with mistakes among the way (that’s fine), but this just seems childish.
