No-one can guarantee success but at the very least we appear to have brought in a manager who will try and introduce an attacking style after the turgid dreck we've had for the past few years. He's got very recent experience of coming into a club in need of a big squad rebuild and very quickly getting results. Was 3 points off automatics last season. Swindon fans can talk about a lack of plan B all they want but when you score more goals than anyone else in the division wondering why you don't just lump it up top for once is a pretty decent summary of how ridiculous football fans are. The recruitment will be important now but that's our next challenge. Fingers crossed even if we don't have total success we can still enjoy some of the football next season1

From my Swindon-supporting mate:Hmm, he likes possession based football so expect to have the ball loads and not have a shot on target. No plan b but that’s probably more to do with the lack of depth in our squad. Saying that he did get us to the playoffs and the football wasn’t to horrendous so not all bad.Sounds like our last two managers, with the exception of getting to the play-offs!

Only problem is.............has he seen the current squad ? A lot of rebuilding & coaching needed to get this lot shooting at every opportuinty.
At least I've found my home.........3 -
Still don't think using Stats,KPI performance and algorithms are necessarily the way to go for selecting Charlton managers. Other clubs yes. Just not us.
Time will tell I suppose.0 -
3 year deal. So it turns out that tommys mrs was right and Cawley was wrong.24

Seems everyone has a Swindon supporting mate. Didn't realise they were so popular.10 - Sponsored links:

I’m glad an appointment has been made. I can’t pretend to be particularly whelmed (or under whelmed for that matter) as I’d never heard of Ben until a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t fancy anyone in the betting so I’ll wish him all the best and hope that he is up to the rhetoric and we can be entertained at last. One things for sure, he won’t play entertaining winning football with what we currently have so I hope he, Thomas and Martin’s black box can work wonders the upcoming window. That may include cashing in on some of our “assets” such as Stockley who doesn’t to me fit in with the entertaining modern football that Ben is describing. I’m not peeing the bed with excitement but at least we have moved on. Good luck and welcome Ben.0

Red_Chester said:Think they need to explain why it was publicly denied. Cawley deserves some respect.
With regards to the appointment - not sure he's the right person to take us forward, and worried about Swindon fans saying he has no plan B and hasn't got the tactical ability to change things up when the team is playing badly. IMO, that's what we're crying out for - its been no plan B for a long time.Having said that, I was optimistic about Adkins so shows how much I know.3 -

Good luck Ben, hope to see more of Charlton next season with some decent football being played. Struggled to get interested the last season or so.2

Good luck to BG. Looking forward to his signings.1

If he's bringing high press high possession football, I'm all in, it's the football I like to watch, be great to see a Charlton team play that way.6

Seems he might have learnt a harsh lesson after mouthing off last season and got bitten on the arse.17 -

Good luck to Ben - despite my reservations, I really hope he delivers.0

Wasnt going to be anyone else once Cawley wrongly annouced it really. Nice to be offical.
Knew nothing of the guy before the first link but after checking him out, glad to get someone in with a clear plan and vision - and one that doesnt involve smashing towards wavey arm Stockley.

The penny has dropped, that's more like it.2 -
Let’s be honest and face the reality. The squad needs a massive overhaul and the change in ethos in playing style is unlikely to bring instant success. As far as I’m concerned that’s absolutely fine. As long as I and hopefully everyone else can see improvements and that Garner and the club are building something season on season, squad on squad, teams after team then I’ll be more than happy. Certainly BG has to deliver a promotion before too long but if that takes two or three seasons and we go up as a club, squad and team that’s on an upward curve then I’m happy with that. We’ve been a club repairing damage every close season for what seems like years. Time to start building not patching. 100% support for Garner from me.5
