Next manager - Ben Garner confirmed (p256)

I suspect Garner was almost done until the Cawley leak and then TS jumped in with "we are still interviewing". Meanwhile, Sol Campbells name is linked with the Swindon job, the Sangaards get their heads together and agree Campbell would be a cheaper option, TS books a plane ticket for next week as he wants to interview Campbell personally.

Did I miss Jackson being in charge for the whole season?balham red said:
Probably something to do with Swindon being favourites for relegation at the start of the season, while Charlton were one of the favourites for reaching the play-offs. I should have thought.grumpyaddick said:I've just realised that the TS master plan for success is to sack a manager who achieved 13th in League 1 after starting his tenure in the relegation zone and was quickly snapped up by the team that finished 23rd in the same league....
with a manager who finished 6th in the league below us and has no track record to suggest he will succeed at a higher level.
No wonder we are reluctant to announce it.1 -

No but you might have missed how Jackson had ys playing with no organization or discernible style of play, while Garner had his team playing attacking possession football racking up the best stats in the league in an attacking sense.The Red Robin said:

His coaching at Chelsea and Liverpool were not with the first team squad but restricted to youth development. Not sure what his role at São Paulo was. His stint at Rangers with rookie manager Gerrard was his first I believe working with the first team. Of course he’s now working alongside Gerrard at Villa. Now I’m not saying he doesn’t have connections at any of those former clubs but are they close to first team ? I expect not apart from Rangers and perhaps São Paulo for both clubs it’s an unlikely avenue for loans. Garner on the other hand has been involved with both Crystal Palace and WBA in the Premiership at first team level. I would imagine he has good connections at both clubs. No idea who is the better coach or option but I don’t see any reason to drool over Beale’s club connections any more than Garners.vff said:ShootersHillGuru said:I’m not sure why people necessarily think Michael Beale would have “connections” over and above someone like Garner.

Recruitment is THE most critical aspect of running a football club.
We have given a critical role to the owners son who has zero football experience or contacts.
If people can’t see a problem there it’s because they don’t want to see it.
Giving jobs to you kids is a really, really stupid idea, it does them no good and wreaks havoc across the organisation, not just because of their incompetence but because you are short circuiting the chain of command.
How many people will stand up to Martin Sandgaard knowing he will run straight to Daddy? That results in bad decisions.
Its a huge problem.
I said myself this could go wrong but let's face it, he could help identify players with our scouts and bring in some good players and people like you will find things to keep up the witch-hunt.3 -

Was CW told "The new Manager" or "If there is a new manager" ? None of us know do we. Also we all seem to think the news was a massive surprise JJ went. If you have a job where your contract states you need to hit certain levels of performance why on earth would you be shocked if you had your contract terminated if you failed to meet the terms of your contract ? In normal life many jobs are performance related and it is accepted that if you fail to deliver you go, simple as that. Many of us (including me) stated before any of this came out that the contract extensions were not being sorted as they would be dependant on who the manager is.6 -

Its a matter of opinion as to whether you think who has the better connections. Beale is at Villa currently and close to Gerrard, who has a long time Liverpool and England International. That's going to help.Glad to see you have rowed back on Beales connections being entirely mythical. I am going to leave it at that, as a) its pulling over the fine details of something unlikely to happen - Beale arriving and b) life is too short.2 -

Sorry didn’t read it as a joke,apologies, I can’t see how JJ could have been surprised though, to be honest nobody does all the fanfare for the outgoing man😂, might be something original😂, haven’t got a clue who or how the next man will do but all we can/ should do is give them our full support, until it’s obvious things are not working. I think quite a lot of patience was shown for jj near the end, anyone else would have got the bullet earlier.cafcfan1990 said:

I presume from what you say that you didn't believe Thomas when this question wss raised with him a few weeks before and he confirmed that JJ was def going to be manager the following season.
