Perhaps it's simply how Clem and the Charlton board have agreed to go about the business. In reality there is no reason I can think of why we couldn't make a statement to say 'Swindon Town have accepted an approach from Charlton to speak to Ben Garner, we are in discussions around Compensation blah blah'
For me, it does seem slightly strange that that hasn't happened in this manner, but maybe the 2 clubs agreed to keep schtum until the deal has been done. If there was no truth in Garner to Charlton then I expect it would have been stated by Clem already.
Goo points you make but how was it then leaked to the journo if all parties agree to keep quiet🤔

Exactly, Bob! I fail to see who benefits from keeping schtum. Certainly not us.
Comes under a duty of care to the fans!

No idea Jimmy but journalists generally seem to be able to get to the bottom of these things somehow don't they?

We certainly do if the compensation package if favourable.

I'm in agreement. I think the Charlton owners are a bit unusual but I guess if that's what they have asked, perhaps Clem has gone along with it in a professional manner. Maybe the leak that Jimmy alluded to was created by us in order to provide some updates to fans. Or maybe that's just tinfoil hat nonsense!!

Fair point. Like a bribe to keep things quiet for whatever reason. It's getting a bit boring now, wish it would just happen and we can begin to speculate about Ben squared's replacements.

There is always at least one character at every club that are "friends" with certain journalists.. It affords them a certain level of leverage in the future.. and allows them to call in favours about future stories, it's how the world works

I imagine there’s a set buy out clause. Just like the one Wellens has at Orient!

I wonder if what we say about Garner impacts our ability to interview for his replacement?
Like, if we came out and said Garner has spoke to Charlton, we’ve agreed compensation but it hasn’t gone though yet - would there then be repercussions if we started interviewing for a position we just announced wasn’t open yet?

Just as a hypothetical (and there is absolutely no truth in this whatsoever) imagine a conversation like this. "Clem mate, we have an issue with timing, if you stay radio silent on this for the next 2 weeks to allow us to get our shit together, we will loan you DJ for next season and pay half of his wages, what do you think?" This is the problem with not knowing the whole story, and as fans, we never will.. that is why it is best to just relax and wait for news

Funnily enough I was thinking earlier that there might be sweeteners in any potential future loan players or something. DJ back for a season would be lovely!
