Hahah autocomplete got me good there! Sue Parkes is who I meant yes5

Didn't something similar happen with the signing of Sam Lavelle?
We pretty much had the deal tied up but then kept him waiting as we was enquiring on another target then that fell though so we signed Sam last minute.
It all seems a bit chaotic to me that we might have a agreement with Ben in some sorts but we are still potentially looking for someone higher profile maybe but have Ben if we can't?

No deal is done till it’s done. Didn’t the journalist from Swindon say that the assistant coaches where being interviewed on Skype?0

Thanks for that exclusive @LouisMend but any information on our latest manager; a cryptic clue in the style of Doctor Raelynn Maloney will do on this grey damp morning.

That’s what I’m guessing or that we haven’t made our mind up yet. And the story has come out because Swindon have leaked it as they want clarity for themselves. And we have done all the negotiation and compensation so that we can move quickly if we do decide to go with GarnerAddickRam said:Didn't something similar happen with the signing of Sam Lavelle?

Didn’t Cawley think of asking any supplementary questions to clarify things? I think most of us assumed that everything is tied up other than the agreeing compensation with Swindon for the back room staff, and when that has been done he will formally sign the contract.If he didn’t ask any follow up questions he is not much of a journalist, but maybe the answers would not have got the same response. Now that is what a good journalist would do. One like Cawley.0

Reading this Garner felt he wasn't given enough time at Bristol Rovers.
I wonder if the fans will give him time if it starts badly or indeed if TS will.
Its the old adage 'you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear'.

It's probably a two year deal subject to meeting performance based targets, not just a straight two years. Garner has had success with the support of his coaching team - what if they fail the Skype interview?0

Doctor Raelynn Maloney is an anagram of Carroty Lemonade nylon.
A new concoction after Sue Perkins canapés, but made with a kind of plastic.2 -

I'm sure on Zoom, Steve Gallen said the St Johnstone captain was the first choice but when he when to Wigan, Sam Lavelle was the next to go on the famous 1to5 list that Steve has.0 -

I think the Sandgaard lot just don’t really understand how the football media works. It’s fair enough to an extent, it runs like an absolute insane asylum. Foreign owners and managers (though typically less so these days) are often surprised by the levels of scrutiny, leaks and focus on the day to day. I imagine the reason they keep piping up is because the reports aren’t technically true; I reckon no deal with Garner is agreed until his coaches are also on board, so as far as they’re concerned the story isn’t accurate. There’s not really any reason to not let the story sit there slightly incorrect though, and it really doesn’t help to have them being so contradictory in public. It’s been long enough that they should just adapt to the media. They suck, it’s annoying, let it go Sandgaards4

After last night's posts on Twitter, I reached out to Raelynn on Facebook instant messenger, as we are both highly active posters on the "Daily BADASS motivational quotes and memes" group.
Raelynn responded this morning - and whilst she regrets responding to Rich Cawley after a night indulging in fine wine and rich cuisine - she stands by her comments.
The main reason for the delay are Raelynn and Thomas's lingering concerns that Garner does not have sufficient BDE (Big Dick Energy) for the position. Apparently, this is one of the most important criteria for the role - and was even included as a bullet point on the job description.
Raelynn confirmed that they are still interviewing, and are looking for a candidate with a level of BDE that will "make your eyes water" (her words).
Interesting side note - apparently Nigel Adkins has BDE in spades. So much so, that Thomas would refuse to leave Adkins alone in a room with Raelynn.33 -

Why have you just leaked Ben Garner explaining how he wants the players to play.Rothko said:

I spoke to her a few years back, she said with her dad and brothers she hadn't got a choice. Think she follows us vicariously through her family rather than avidly.KBslittlesis said:

Relax . It has always happened and also will never happen. I should add that The illusion of self once dispelled releases all Charlton fans from causality and critically hope. The absence of hope is immortality for it is hope that kills. . Live laugh and be happy also do not.soapboxsam said:KiwiValley said:Quantum physics can explain the situation very simply. At any given moment Garner has both signed and not signed. The more he has signed the less he has signed and obviously vice versa. I don’t get all the confusion.
Bravo @KiwiValleyQuantum mechanics is the meaning of life. The signing of Ben Garner can only happen when no one is watching. This is Heisenberg uncertainty principle meets Schrödinger's cat. Charlton's fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.3 -

Just suppose an earlier target from the A list that for whatever reason didn’t happen suddenly came back into view as a possibility ? What would you do as the owner, follow that avenue to see where it leads or let it drop. Nothing it would appear has ink on it so until it has either party can walk away. This is without doubt the most important appointment in Charltons recent history. Sandgaard has to get this right or at least be a thorough as is possible. Far too many people are being critical and those self same people will find fault whatever the outcome.Airman Brown said:
It’s amateurish. If they have an issue with anything Rich puts out they can very easily contact him privately or they can publish a statement via the club setting the record straight if necessary.Dazzler21 said:
It was in response to Cawley saying:FishCostaFortune said:
For me it’s mainly the ambiguity of the statement. A tweet saying ‘Understand this not to be correct’ sounds like something you would hear RonnieMoore write on here.shirty5 said:
Then do it through the official club channels.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
But if she knows the information to be false, then why can't she say anything? She's certainly closer to the deal makers than Cawley is.shirty5 said:
Whatever the reason is, it now just winds everybody up and no one knows what is going on.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Her post doesn't mean Garner isn't signing. Cawley says he's agreed a 2 year deal. She says that's not correct. Doesn't mean he isn't signing, it could mean that he's agreed a 3 year deal!
Would have been for the best if Mrs Sandgaard had not said a thing and we would have found out early this week what’s being announced.Can’t understand why she would do that.
"Understand that to be correct"
Could be any one detail that is incorrect, term, salary, structure etc
I have a feeling neither TS or Mrs TS appreciate Cawley reaching out to leaks in the club rather than contacting direct.
This smacks of “we’ll decide what is said and when” and that’s a battle they will never win.
More important, if you’re “still interviewing” five weeks after your own decision to remove the manager I’d suggest you have a bigger problem.4 -
