I mean it's not impossible Martin/Thomas Sandgaard found that list of stats Swindon finished top of and based it off that. The ownership isn't subtle. But then again I don't necessarily think that was a bad way of going about (part of) the search - he'd still have had to interview and go against other candidates etc

So we assume we approached Swindon and that Garner / his agent didn’t put themselves forward after he sacked JJ?
I can’t help but wonder who else is offering suggestions to TS on the football side even if informally.
It's been a week today since JJ got sacked, and TS should have made an appointment by now.
The fact that he hasn't shows that it was a petulant, unplanned, ill-thought out sacking.
I'm curious as to why you think this.
I literally just said this to someone.
When Roland employed Luzon/Riga i cant remember which its blurred that time, everyone was moaning saying it was to quick him and KM didnt do a good enough search.
So why now TS is looking properly is it apparently to long.
Surely its better he gets the correct appointment even if it takes 7-14 days from the day JJ was sacked?
Are you just looking for a reason to moan? A stick to beat TS with?
We are not the only club without a manager atm
Lincoln haven't had a manager for 10 days Fleetwood magical 7 day(according to you) is up tomorrow.
Does that mean they have been poorly managed or do they not count, as Ts doesn't own them
I've come in for criticism here so I shall explain my reasoning:
It had been clear for several months that we weren't going either up or down a division. For those last few months we were generally in 13th- 17th place, weren't we? Therefore TS either thought: A. This is bad but I trust that JJ can sort it out for next season. B. This is bad and I need to change manager.
If it were B then he should have replaced him with a month or more to go so that the new manager can make his assessments. If it were A then he appears to have changed his mind at the last minute, probably due to the Ipswich result. My opinion is that this is what's happened. That's why I call it a petulant decision. It can't be because of our final position as we finished the season in almost the highest position we'd reached all season.
I may be wrong. What I know for sure was that I thought TS was great when he bought the club and I'm still thankful for that. What I now think is that he doesn't have a clue how to run a football club, and that we'll finish lower next season and then the next and so on until he changes his ways.
Most fans think it's B. The reason being Washington was as good as told this a few weeks before the Ipswich game. The most likely reason JJ wasn't sacked sooner, was because TS would have had to pay out less (if any) compensation by waiting until the season ended and JJ had "failed" the agreed contract.
Fair enough but it's now two weeks since he sacked Jackson and he still hasn't appointed a new manager. If it's B then he should have appointed someone by now. The only good reason why not would be if it's a manager of a play-off team.
Perhaps 'most fans' are wrong and it's A.
Or some candidates have been away for a short break after the season ended, like Jackson did.
Or some are coaches at Prem clubs so their season hasn’t ended
Or we were negotiating but someone turned it down (more of a bad reason but could be the case)
etc
Three weeks now. The Premier League has finished.
How many more excuses? Just face it: TS hasn't got a clue what he's doing. I can't believe from the threads on the play-offs and Sunderland that people think we stand a chance. It's like Everton fans thinking that they'll finish in the top six next season.
Four weeks now.
And to think that three weeks ago people were arguing that the sacking of Jackson was planned all along.
Planned?! My arse plans poos after me eating a bag of plums, better than this wallybrain owner can plan anything.
Five weeks and still counting.
Come on, get it sorted. The transfer window opens this week.
Feeling quite nostalgic, I liked so many of the players of that team/era. They wasn’t all great, some I probably remember being better than they were!!😂but felt much more of a connection to the team as a fan.
As far as tangents to threads go, I think it’s exceptional!!, the perm may be the secret to world peace, there hasn’t been a Barney on here for three pages!!🤣
Ok, great perms from memory lane, but can we get this back to topic please. Even if that means you have to hold your tongue and not post here until something actually happens. If you’re at loose ends, there’s always our long running and incredibly informative porn thread. If you don’t know what or where that is, then my bad… it’s a typo.
Oh for the days of Martin Robinson when my Charlton world simply revolved around whether or not he was in the starting 11. Thank you for belatedly and rightly adding him to the perm list.
Oops, sorry @LoOkOuT, our posts crossed and I know nothing on the real topic.

I can never get past the first page of the porn thread!!😬💦

I heard 8k Charlton fans mention Fraser when he was MOM at the Valley for MK Dons so Martin Sandgaard may have been a tad late!
Yes Sam 👏🏻👏🏻
