Jack Payne is an interesting one. Thought he was destined for big things after his break out year for Huddersfield in the season they got promoted from the Championship.
Then got loaned out to Oxford, Blackburn and Bradford who were all League One at the time.
Unsure why he landed in League Two. Had previously proved he could do it in the third tier. A bright spark that fizzled out? Attitude problems? I’m not sure.2 -

We know at least two only went to Swindon in the first place because Garner was the manager.
I think that says a lot about how much respect he has in the game.9 -

It really doesn't have to be one or the other where Ben Garner and signings is concerned.This is now evident in him signing a centre back he admired from when he played against and a player from the team he just left, I’d say it’s unlikely we sign either of these if Garner isn’t here.In a nutshell, people can stop pretending Sandgaard is an evil ruler who won’t let managers sign players now and just get behind the team21 -

Heard he was a blackbox signing and Garner thought he was shit, which was why he only played him 6 times

Sandgaard was asked if Garner has final say on a player coming into the club. He explained: “We all agree on the names and then Steve Gallen picks up the phone and calls the agent. Steve doesn’t even call the agent unless we all agree."
Admittedly i find it bizarre that if the manager is adamant we sign a player, the others could still veto it, but that's where we are. It's probably unlikely though "so there's this guy at Swindon, he was great for me, we must go and sign him". I can't see Sandgaard saying no.

Didn't Garner say that O'Connell was on the recruitment team list already, and he was delighted they agreed with him on that12

I've finally cracked the algorithm of Martin's black box = Sign players with obscure first names0

Now who’s next? 11 o’clock announce one of the Swindon players. Ta.
Posted on the wrong thread. Right team, just three hours out. By my standards that’s pretty good. Lol.
Love the sound of Mandela Egbo (great name for one thing). We’ve been weak at tight back for some time.0 -

Out of Wollacott, Payne, Reed, McKirdy?
Is it first 2 out of contract, latter 2 still under contract?0 -

Two local lads in. Yeah, yeah, O’Connell is Irish but Irish lads always do well for us. They’re practically made for Charlton.2

As much as I think he is hit and miss as a football scout, he strikes me as an honest bloke. I believe TS comments are miscommunication than anything, similar to before2 -

Every year I get stupidly excited when the signings happen.
I’m even worse this year. I’m loving the sound of these first two.I even had a punt (e/w) on the title at 20/1 just now :-)
No self control. Ludicrous over optimism. But hey ho.Another signing at six this evening please. Got the Temazepam ready.8 -
I’m sure you’ll all be delighted to know I’m happy with that signing.
these are certainly ‘Garner signings’ maybe the extent of the black box was exaggerated.
