I am not sure what Martin Sandgaard does, or any detail at all as to why he is disparaged, although I am sure people will reasonably say others could do whatever MS is supposed to do much better, but beyond that what damage to good stuff balance is there? I certainly don’t know. However what does make sense to me is Thomas Sandgaard having somebody in location he can trust, and to be honest I don’t blame him.
The clock is ticking, the team is sparse, it’s pretty clear that there wasn’t a plan in place two weeks ago and the well intentioned father / son team are giving every indication that they will be involved in recruitment and tactics.
It’s getting more difficult to remain positive and I wonder how many lessons have actually been learned.
Exactly this. 3 very good teams coming down, 7 good sides staying down and a couple of interesting newbies coming up. This squad core is not capable in its current form of competing for top 6 and will be increasingly less likely to without football management and knowledge being applied to them via a good coach with a say in what and who is needed (and how we play). And that has to be a build for promotion and for staying up if it ever happens.
Somebody I don't know has told me about a few people he doesn't know, who have mentioned other unknown people having talks and nobody knows what these talks are about.
Listen, I'm not putting two and two together but just passing it on. So, please don't shoot the messenger.
Personally I would be happy with Warburton, Beale or Taylor. But I've got a feeling it won't be any of these and we will all be underwhelmed with the new manager. Not Itk just a feeling.

Bloody hell it must be true, because I heard that to…..

Personally, I am not sure Taylor is the best choice, has done a cracking job at Exeter, but I think Charlton might be a job too big for him..
My personal choice would be Michael Beale, no experience of managing yet, but has expeirence of working within big clubs and high expectations, I feel he has learned the trade, understanding of different styles and approaches from different managers and coaches.
Respect that view but don't want Beale personally. He comes across as an exceptional football coach but being a manager is a different skillset. He could easily be a Les Reed in waiting.
Could we do with an exceptional football coach?
It sounds to me a bit like the Sandgaaards are looking for a Head Coach rather than manager.
Lots of peeps getting concerned with Taylor, is it on or is it off, or maybe Warburton or Beale,.. chill lads "n" lasses, if all else fails old smiler Nige is available at 33/1 so all is not lost...🍻
Are the performance based targets built into contracts usual in football these days or would that be something that puts off some potential applicants, knowing that'd they'd get more of a payoff if things didn't go well elsewhere?

I would be happy be with anyone that's a credible manager that's actually got a plan and is allowed to implement it with their choice of staff and their choice of players.
If they succeed or fail it should be in their merits, or lack of.

That’s the big test, can’t see the recruitment strategy changing for the manager.

Surprised no-one has realised that. It's how us big Clubs work*.

Nice to see a manager ready for the coming season

It does feel a bit like a copy and paste job, except the paste is less handsome.
