Garner knows the lower leagues and its players .. we will be undergoing a big player turnover and he (as said) is well capable of signing the right players ..

not exactly what this owner's been saying is it?0 -
Clearly not as much as what some of the fans knocking any new potential appointment on here do!!eastterrace6168 said:

I think you are probably right, not sure the Swindon fans were laughing with him though😬. He seemed to be be more interested in winding up the vale fans throughout, bit like Lyle Taylor does.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
For what it's worth i think he was laughing with embarrassment at how bad it was, not that he actually found the situation funny. Same as some people don't mean to laugh when they're nervous.paulfox said:
Wasn’t overly impressed when he put his pen into row z and then laughed on his way back to the halfway line, he was getting dogs abuse admittedly but didn’t come across as bothered about anyone but himself. Obviously don’t know him so could be jumping to conclusions wrongly.sam3110 said:If people are going to start calling for us to sign Swindon players, it's spelt M-c-K-i-r-d-y

I quite like that though, the kind of player that fans of his team instantly love but opposition fans detest.paulfox said:

My concern with him though wouldn't be him winding people up, it's the fact he's 25 and this was his first good season. But clearly Garner knows something his previous managers didn't so if he did follow Garner it'd potentially be a positive signing.0 -

18 months of managerial experience is not exactly vast. As ever, I wonder who is advising Sandgaard. I am not suggesting that Garner is not or will not be good; time will tell. I would just like to know how the owner has reached the decision.Steve Parrish would have known him when he was a 1st team coach at Crystal Palace and we know that he and TS talk to each other. We also have experienced coaches at our club and he will be known to them. We also loaned him a player last season so conversations with him would have taken place regarding his development.
Jonny Williams was coached by him at Crystal Palace and played at Swindon last season. SG may have asked him for his views. That would give a good indication of his character and then there will be his CV, presentation and interview.
Or he could have done what half on here appear to have done and made his mind up having never even heard of him before.11 -
Do we want somebody who might have hodophobia in his genes?
From wiki
‘With the widespread introduction of the motor-vehicle in the early 20th century, Pembury Hospital hosted a centre of groundbreaking research and treatment for hodophobia (fear of road travel). Some of the original test subjects settled in Pembury and many of their descendants still live in the village today.’
Could cost TS a fortune in planes, trains, and sedan chairs.0 -

Jamie Vardy was past 25 before he was signed from conference football - not suggesting he's the next JV but 25's not too old to still be improvingChris_from_Sidcup said:

As a small man. I find the phrase small man syndrome offensive. Why shouldn't small men stick up for themselves? I would also like to say if you use that phrase again I will find you and punch your f*****g head in. Lolsoapboxsam said:Lee Johnson said Stockley should be banned for a head butt which never happened. Lee Johnson has small man Syndrome and CL are united in slagging the wee man off.
Alex Neal get Sunderland promoted via the play offs ( nemesis absent !) CL are united in saying Alex Neal is top manager- I agree he is decent.
But in defense of the short arse obnoxious Johnson the day they got tanked 5-0 they would've gone to the top of League 1 if they had won so in reality Alex Neal just kept them in the position he took over.
It all perceptions but I agree I would rather employ Alex Neal than Lee Johnson.
Ben Garner needs backing on and off the pitch to succeed if Cawley is right and Sandgaard is just getting Ronnie Dangerfield to complete the paperwork with his Swindon counterpart before Ollie Groom makes it official.16 -
That garner podcast episode is a great listen. He's definitely gone way up in my opinion. I could see why TS would like him.5

Usually means he would be doing something right, if opposing fans are giving him the bird. Like any players I would judge him by what he did for us. We learned that lesson with kermogant, he was apparently terrible before us.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

3 other Swindon players who look the business .. Goalkeeper Ward .. A big, commanding presence .. Right Back Odimayo, assured and good on the ball as well as a decent defender .. and the old man Baudry in central defence, a player I have admired for a long time since his Orient days .. 34 is nowadays no age for a fit and capable no 5/6
AND Swindon have a youngster with the most glorious name after Luke Waterfall .. George Cowmeadow .. now there's a no bullshit name

So what you are saying is.....keep the manager & sack the owner 😄supaclive said:

He also hasn't said he isn't!Covered End said:supaclive said:If he thinks Davison is good enough for League One, we are fucked.
Personally he seems to have what our owner is looking for. However the comments from "insiders", whether direct or indirectly about TS, plus the situations with Roddy, Skiverton, Bowyer, Adkins, JJ et al over the last year and a half don't fill me full of confidence.0 -

Didn't know anything about Garner but doesn't seem too bad from the limited amount of research I've done. The coaching article with him was really interesting.
Maybe not a glamourous name but I think he fits what I'd like in a manager and would be happy enough.3 -
