It’s the fact that both Scotts were up for following Garner to Charlton. It’s not as if he was remaining loyal.

Only hope that the reasons aren’t - we couldn’t get anyone better and his move to Charlton got kiboshed along the way so he might as well stay.

And it’s bollocks to state he knows the club and players ergo he’ll do well. I wasn’t a fan of Garner so replacing him with Garner Lite fills me with dread. Plus, if those players who are, hopefully, still undecided about whether to pen a new deal or not are just underwhelmed as a lot of fans, chances are this will make their minds up.

Still, mustn’t grumble!
I guess, that if we couldn't get anybody (for whatever reason) then it would be a good job we have convinced Lindsey and Marshall (potentially) to stay. That would be better perhaps than someone else in Lindsey's position at another club stepping up into the role?

To be clear: I would prefer someone with a proven track record. I would prefer a manager and a coach rather than a 'data monkey' plus U23 coach. I would also prefer my team to be able to attract players that would take us on a Macari-esque rise through the leagues. But, I don't see that happening.

Lets see what happens!

P.S. Not picking on your posts Audrey. You just make some points that I try to look at in another way.

Just to pick up on that point, but was it actually confirmed that the 2 Scott's initially wanted to go to Charlton with Garner? I might be remembering things incorrectly but wasn't it reported that Charlton/Garner wanted all 3, but surely if the 2 Scotts actually wanted to go to Charlton that would have surely happened?

Or was it that Charlton already had the coaches in place and so the 2 Scotts were out on a limb and decided to apply for our managerial role?

John Gorman, Andy King (although didnt turn out too bad), Paul Hart, Luke Williams and John Sheridan were far from ideal!

We have form is what I'm saying!

Wellens and Garner were also 'underwhelming' for many fans

Didn’t our Trust ‘ITK’ say we negotiating with Charlton over compensation?

On the face of it a highly questionable appointment and raises alarm bells for me if it is him.

This is not aimed at you, but most recent post to quote.

Long and short no one on here (or Facebook or Twitter) has a clue of the precise ins and outs of what has ben going on. Lindsey could have been first choice he could of been 21st choice, he could have been offered it over the weekend, he could have ben offered it 2 weeks back, if Charlton asked to speak to him it may not have happened due to his being first choice to replace Garner or because Charlton didn't offer enough cash... etc etc etc.

Garner was apparently useless, yet got 2/3rd (at best) of a hastily assembled squad to the play offs, now if this wasn't down to Garner (who remember is apparently useless) then who was it down to, perhaps it was down to Lindsey?

So its going to be another year when a proportion of the fan base have an ingrained problem with the manager, I can't wait.

They did, i hope whatever happens that this is a lesson for the Trust as fans expectations and understanding of timelines this last few weeks has all come from things posted by trust members in my opinion.

Emotional incontinence. You know next to nothing about coaching and have never seen Lindsey in action.

Get behind whoever is appointed or get help.

It’s funny because it’s true.

Repeating what I said yesterday, if Power had made this appointment there would have been uproar.

100% agree, need some decent signings on the back of this to get fans back onside
