    Finally, a much needed clarification:



    If this is real, then it is a pretty cool and funny message. I like it.
  • Mind you it is only bread, not nice bread.
    A sandwich boy fail?
  • I know many are holding on for someone amazing but since RC’s leak I’ve only thought that Ben Garner seems like a smart choice, together with whoever he brings in. Someone used to buying without a huge budget, used to getting his sides to win. 

    We’re not a top tier club. I’d be really happy to have someone sensible in charge that just gets on with the job. That is not a reference to the owner by the way.

    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.
    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.
    Maybe, but then it’s also not logical to appoint your son as Director of Analysis.


    Take your point.

    If only, seems more like Mouldy & Sourly at the moment, it has a very bitter taste in the mouth.. :s
  • So they are still deciding who to go with.

    Seems to be taking a little while but respect that they want to get it right.

    The external reports are irrelevant and don’t contribute to the club being a circus, let’s just wait and see, football fans have serious lack of patience and jump to meltdowns so quick.

    I dunno if it says more about me or the club at the moment that I had to go online and check if that was real.
    There are some obvious and not-so-obvious clues. A genius must have made it.
  • Funny that when TS needed the media to get involved right at the beginning he turned to Cawley to release the news that he was active in buying the club & needed a "push" to get it over the line. 

    Then when fans started tweeting him & contacting him via LinkedIn TS was more than happy to reply and to get news out there.

    If you lie down with dogs you get fleas. 
    Are you talking from experience there? ;)
  • Posting without reading the posts on here, but  if the Garner deal was agreed in principal last week as reported, I wouldn't be surprised if Garner tells Sandgaard to shove it now

    When the press conference to unveil our shiny new manager happens, TS is going to face some awkward questions 

    Whilst I appreciate him not wanting to confirm anything not finalised, the social media messaging has undoubtedly soured relations with the press and left anxious fans  confused.

    Perhaps a formal statement made earlier as the story has developed might have helped ease tensions.

    In harbouring ambitions for us to become a Premiership Club, this sort of episode needs to be handled better in future rather than being allowed to spiral out of control.
  • Press conference? Ha, there isn’t going to be a press conference 
  • Dazzler21 said:
    She is fit tho 
    Agreed. 
    Is that on the OS or just what Cawley says?
  • Garner, Marshall, Lyndsey & + 15 new signings announced at once. 

    Itk.

    I hoping for a firework display, and a week of bank holidays in celebration!
  • I think by the end of this week we’ll see the new coaching team, 2/3 new signings and the new kit. Everyone can then moan/praise the relevant announcements, which will be a nice change of pace to people making noise, despite very little actually being known. Roll on the start of the season!
  • maybe just maybe TS has alternatives lined up and hasn’t decided ? 

    More likely it’s just that he needs / wants to meet in person before confirming the appointment in case it changes any opinions from the zoom style interviews to date. 

    But actually this PR game may just be creating a small bit of drama/interest in what otherwise would be a relative non event in the close season and has actually made the choice of manager seem better than it was first perceived. 

    Faux outrage of amateur communication matters not a jot whilst we are third teir. 

    On balance I’m more inclined they are just trying to create a bit of noise and PR to big up the confirmation when it comes as otherwise we are barely newsworthy. 
  • I wonder if JJ is having a quiet chuckle to himself as this soap opera drags on and on.

    He's 4 weeks into a new job and likely already knows which players he wants to sign and an overall plan of action for next season.

    Meanwhile the Colorado Clown and his trusty sidekick Blondie continue to make fools of themselves on an almost daily basis.

    Promotion next season? more chance of me buying a season ticket at the toolbox.


    We all know his plan of action, he never changed it!?🤣
  • I wonder what this will mean for Jason Euell. Am hoping he will be kept on. Need some continuity and someone who understands the club (if anyone does anymore!).
  • Not sure what that statement was meant to achieve and say what you will about MS, he is apart of the club and can register opinions as for the good Doctor, she has no right to do this so publicly and contradicting RC was bang out of order all because she is TS missus. 

    An appointment does need to be made soon even if it just puts an end to things and we can get behind the new gaffer. 
  • Not sure why we have to await the arrival of TS in this digital age.  There's a company called e sign who offer this service:-

    TS wants to make the announcement, live at The Valley, by way of Sandgaard's new single.
