I thought they deserved more in the first home leg but were a tad disapointing in the second leg.PemburyAddick said:

So which one is @PemburyAddick?soapboxsam said:Fun fact:
Both Ben Garner and Jonny Williams were born in Pembury in Kent.
Not a lot of people know that.
But you are missing the big question - did they drink in the Camden or Black Horse?
I watched Swindon in the Play Off semis and liked what I saw. Garner's demeanour was professional and calm (at contrast to the Vale manager), and the CBs tried to play it out when they could. Jonny and McKirdy gave them an entertaining but lightweight look, but given the recruitment constraints Garner was under he probably didn't have many options. I'm happy with the appointment but he needs to be backed to get the right players in.
And then may be a celebration pint or ten at the Black Horse and Camden..0 -
It wouldn't have been a big gamble to back Lee Bowyer in the first place.Kindoncasella said:

Big and totally unnecessary gamble from our owner if true at a time when he can't afford many more mistakes.1 -

Why doesn't he deny it officially rather than tell a few fans? I mean, it is out there now. If this is true we jump from one hole into another!0

On balance, Garner's appointment (assuming Cawley's post is correct) would seem to have potential.
Success will depend on how he is backed during the summer window and being left by the Sandgaard clan to get on with the job as Garner sees fit.5 -

A young manager with some success under his belt, clearly with a brain, with a reason to want to take a difficult job in a higher league.3 -
I'd be shocked if some negative reaction on social media would affect what's going on with an announcement. Haven't seen Twitter comments myself, but we all know those who aren't happy are more likely to make their views known using such media/fans forums. They don't necessarily represent the majority thinking and TS can't please everyone, but if he thinks he can, he'll still be interviewing come preseason, stymied by indecision because he won't see a common consensus expressed on them.
Waiting for some 'no shit Sherlock' feedback to tick off my CL sayings bingo card!1 -
Except Buttle has outright posted that TS said ‘the reports are incorrect’. Which would dismiss what Cawley has said meaning we haven’t appointed Garner, so either Buttle has misread TS or TS said what he said. Take it whichever you like.Shrew said:

The thread title says what page this information was shared, the posters post is on said page, I’ve then relayed that information and I’ve now been quoted twice on this information when it could be checked itself quicker than quoting me?0 -

It is not on the official so it is reasonable to take it that it has not happened yet. It is not on the Swindon site either.MuttleyCAFC said:Why doesn't he deny it officially rather than tell a few fans? I mean, it is out there now. If this is true we jump from one hole into another!No lying. The process has just not finished yet is all that is being said.3 -
Clicked on this & actually got a different video that featured the owner amongst others. He said that he deals with the business side & leaves the football side of the club to the experts. I look forward to the day that we have an owner with the same outlook.The Red Robin said:1 -

Thinking about it Cawley covers all the other South London and Surrey sides so has contacts within the selhurst club
So he may well know Garner already or have a very good link to him.
So his source may not be Swindon or Charlton but the horse itself.4 -
So have we built up a coherent picture of what’ the hell is going on?1

MuttleyCAFC said:I haven't got an issue with the owner suggesting the style of football he wants to see us play and promising to back the manager in getting the players needed to achieve it. It becomes more worrying when it gets like Roland explaining football tactics to a manager who is an ex England international. If Sandgaard thinks he has discovered the secret of success in terms of a playing style it is worrying in the extreme. There are many different paths but his backing is needed. With limited resources the approach has to always be a pragmatic one based on what you have and how your best players play.
The problem is, I don't know which of these is correct and I doubt many of us do. There are lingering doubts about Sandgaard based on genuine clues. I would say not yet definitive but that in itself is worrying. And we should be open to this possibility.
I agree with this. The turning point for me would be if Sandgaard is issuing Roland-esque emails or trying to dictate how training sessions should go.
Currently I have no reason to think that this is the case and if anyone knows differently then they should be making it public very very quickly. Until then we have to accept that there is nothing wrong with an owner wanting a certain type of football and finding the staff to implement it.0 -

“There are better facilities now at the training ground. We already have our medical and sports science team and I’m demanding next season that our training has to have a minimum of 10 per cent more intensity so we train at a minimum level we see in the Championship. It’s all around we’re improving.“

No idea what's going on but having read too many posts have gone from feeling totally underwhelmed to believing Garner is the second coming of Christ. Finally settled for somewhere between the two.
