    The biggest problem with Garner was that he wasn't as good a manager as his own opinion of himself was.
    Very much my view of it. 4 EFL jobs, awful results in 3 of them.

    The last Charlton manager to be able to win three league games in a row…
  • He was an optimist, an idealist and not a pragmatist. It wouldnt surprise me if one day Garner does something good at a big club with lots of resources. You can clearly tell he has a philosophy of how he expects the game to be played and honestly i think if he was backed with resources he would do well, however for us he was lied to about what he was getting and probably was a bit too eager in going to Colchester.

    Slightly bigging himself up there, by suggesting that giving Miles his debut makes him "a manager good with young players" as opposed to being like just about every Charlton manager since 2006.

    He did well at Swindon, where he had a decent side for L2 that season, what he hasn't shown is the ability to go in and create a good side out of average players, like a Steve Evans can. Maybe he's better suited to PL Academy coaching.
  • Comes across quite well in that piece but do think after failing with Bristol Rovers, us and Colchester he's best suited in a Cat 1 academy working with age group players.

    If Holden can hit the jackpot like he did , then anything is possible.
