And a view from left field-- Quote- The Zynex mission is to improve the quality of patience- WTF. We all know its to rip the patience off in this 'Land of the Free'' Thank God for Universal Health Care, With all its problems ,100% better than the U S
The NHS buys equipment too you know, from the very same markets as the Americans. It’s not all altruism that makes the NHS run.
Who can forget the Private Finance Initiative?! And the paying £11k for every single use of the loaned MRI scanner in our hospitals?! It is a disaster.
most people probably do not believe this to be true a story made up to sell papers. Sadly it is not. i worked at the queen Elizabeth. i wanted to move a whiteboard. the company we would have to pay quoted 70 pounds to take it down and 150 pounds to put it up at the other end of the wall. I said NO.
Sadly with the PPI contracts theres actually a lot the NHS can get for free as part of the contract. Replacements when things break down, i say sadly because that aspect of the contract is rarely used and when things break down they are binned without making a claim. No one manages those contracts from the NHS side of things sadly not properly atleast.
Not exactly on topic I know but more factual then all the speculation flying around on this thread
I’m not trying to make an impatient point here but if you’d of told me this time last month Jackson will make his first signing in a new job before we named his successor I wouldn't of believed it.
Nearly 5 weeks, and people defend it. Total circus.
I’m defending or attacking it, it’s just a little surprising to me, but if his tactic is to make sure it’s the absolute right one then so be it.
Doesn't take a semi competent league one club 5 weeks to appoint a manager, in the off season.
Why though? What’s wrong with negotiating a deal to suit us as well as them, if I could drag the purchase of something expensive out to save a few quid I probably would, it’s not critical right now, I’ll admit I was nervous but I don’t see why haggling over compensation makes us incompetent.
Because we fucked up last season due to our inactivity all summer and lack of preparation. Jackson has been sacked nearly 5 weeks ago, seemingly without any sort of succession plan as we still have no manager on June 7th.
Since Jackson has left, he's gone on holiday, interviewed for / got a new job, and made his first signing.
Fleetwood sacked their manager May 4th, they have a new manager in place and have already made their first signing.
Can't disagree with this but Swindon's last game was 16 May (about 3 weeks ago) and Cawley broke the storey about Garner being agreed on 25 May (9 days later). Since then negotians seem to be with the two coaches and not the manager. If Cawley was right and it just hasn't been announced yet then there will be things going on behind the scenes with Garner involved.

I get all that but you know full well we have a plan as at today, they’re obviously cross t’s and dotting i’s. I get all the frustration and I’m with you, but I think some are getting too panicked, there’s so so much time to get this summer right, the players aren’t even in the building.
I’ll fully agree with you “if” we end up with a shit squad and are looking at deadbeats come midnight deadline day. But for now I’m happy to see if he’s leant from last season.

It’s probable that we’ve got our man, and he’s working behind the scenes before it’s announced. It’s also possible we have signings ready to go when the window opens. Garner could well have had a hand in recruitment as he probably ‘signed’ a couple of weeks ago.
While we’d all have liked it to be announced as well, I don’t think it’s the big disaster some feel it is. Yes, for football insiders a few eyebrows may have been raised about the optics/coms, which is a shame.

I dunno mate, 7 & a half weeks until the first game of the season doesn’t seem like a lot of time when we need 7/8 players for the first xi + x amount as squad players.

I like TS and appreciate everything he has done for the club, but If we are really haggling over 10s of thousands of pounds and that is the hold up we are in trouble and he needs to get a grip

I'll have a wager with you now that we finish above Fleetwood...
My mate is getting bored with me asking questions, but got the following this AM. Sounds like the imminent word could be appropriate.
Sandergaard is in the country so it should be announced soon. As before. Garner is a done deal and they are dotting I's and crossing t's on the other two. Compo debate on going but not miles apart.
Interesting because that is what Conor is also saying:
I thought it was all done when Cawley said it was?
As always, it's not a huge conspiracy, just charlton busy bodies whinging while it's in process and Garner has already input his thoughts into recruitment with Gallen and we've been working on that simultaneously.
Drama queens a plenty in our fanbase.
In which case you'll presumably agree there was no need for TS/RM to rubbish the stories in the media?
No need for you to keep stirring the pot now you're not selling your magazines but you still do it?

This is what I mean about not getting too het up. I’m not too bothered about when the announcements are made, so long as the signings are decent. Would be nice to hear something this week of course, but next week would be ok too. The players aren’t back from their hols yet, so I’m ok with it.

Why though? What’s wrong with negotiating a deal to suit us as well as them, if I could drag the purchase of something expensive out to save a few quid I probably would, it’s not critical right now, I’ll admit I was nervous but I don’t see why haggling over compensation makes us incompetent.
Because we fucked up last season due to our inactivity all summer and lack of preparation. Jackson has been sacked nearly 5 weeks ago, seemingly without any sort of succession plan as we still have no manager on June 7th.
Since Jackson has left, he's gone on holiday, interviewed for / got a new job, and made his first signing.
Fleetwood sacked their manager May 4th, they have a new manager in place and have already made their first signing.
It’s probable that we’ve got our man, and he’s working behind the scenes before it’s announced. It’s also possible we have signings ready to go when the window opens. Garner could well have had a hand in recruitment as he probably ‘signed’ a couple of weeks ago.
While we’d all have liked it to be announced as well, I don’t think it’s the big disaster some feel it is. Yes, for football insiders a few eyebrows may have been raised about the optics/coms, which is a shame.
AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH
The window hasn’t stopped plenty of other clubs announcing signings, the date it opens is irrelevant.
This is what I mean about not getting too het up. I’m not too bothered about when the announcements are made, so long as the signings are decent. Would be nice to hear something this week of course, but next week would be ok too. The players aren’t back from their hols yet, so I’m ok with it.
I am sure we said the same thing last summer..... and the summer before that..... its like Groundhog Day. Being urged to stay calm up until 10pm on deadline day. Before we slowly realise we didnt do anything close to enough to compete.
Do you know that……if not what’s the point of saying it? Sorry, but that’s just another classically unfounded comment slagging off (I assume) TS without justification. Just a sly, needless dig if you ask me! 🤨

I think I see the problem.
How amazing would that be.
