So qualified they were trying to arrange for money for him to leave two weeks ago, at a time when he'd have been available to have taken the job immediately if so suitable?
Absolute bullshit.
The analogy someone made on here about some not complaining if Clem walked in to their front room and took a shit on the floor really doesn't begin to cover it.
Appointing Lindsey would be a Lee Power move in slow motion.
I think you (and some others) are missing one of the points here.
We don't know precisely what was going on w/r/t the two Scotts.
We know that Garner had an interview as it leaked.
We know that there was a denial that Garner had been appointed.
We had rumour that there was a hold up on compensation
We also heard rumour that Garner wanted to take the 2 Scotts but Charlton's owner didnt want them as he already had a coaching team he was happy with
We had the unveiling of Garner at Charlton (but no info about the 2 Scotts)
We had rumour that announcement of the Scotts leaving was due to compensation not being sorted
We had rumour that Crofts turned us down and another the Brighton paid more for him to stay there.
We now have rumour that Lindsey is going to be our Head Coach
So, what if:
- When Garner went, Lindsey threw his hat in to take over from him here, but said to Garner, that is he was unsuccessful, then he'd like to join Garner at Charlton?
- Lindsey was interviewed with Crofts, Delaney, Caddis, Uncle Tom Cobbley etc. Then of the preferred candidates, Crofts pulled out and Delaney was offered something else. STFC then thought Lindsey was a best of the rest and didn't like Uncle Tom Cobley and all?
That 'potential' scenario is why I could understand them going for Lindsey. I have no problem with him being a candidate. Its a shame that a more 'impressive' candidate wasn't available or selected, but I could understand the logic in those scenarios.
If I looked for the positives, under those scenarios, it would be that the set up is the same as last year, but minus the 2 Ben's and with their responsibilities redistributed slightly differently between Sandro and one of the Scotts.
I don't like the thought of one of Clem's turds in my living room and I'm not aspiring to have one any time soon. I'm just trying to understand 'what might have happened' and move on from there.
I'm more interested in what players we sign and then how well we do on the pitch next year.
