The new, new manager thread. Thread closed.

Except in the one where everyone has hot dogs for fingers.

I got this reference. Which is far more than I can say about the film it's from.

I thought I was over the blown fuse caused by covid regarding my care for the club but I guess not. I'll be disappointed if Lindsey is announced but the amusement I'll get from everyone imploding like dying stars will far outweigh it. Heyho, sun's out.

Its the people that act like people being pissed off are unreasonable that get me. Quite happy to have their legs pissed down and told its raining. No wonder Power managed to fleece us for so long with certain sections of our fan base the way it is.

I think we’ve left ridiculous behind and are hurtling towards comically inept.

200 pages of emotional angst…

Sorry for not being miserable enough for you. I just happen to think the people at the club *may* be better qualified to take this decision than a bunch of underemployed wankers on a football forum.

Hope we can look back on this thread with a smile on our faces, a pot noodle and a wank in a years time when we're promoted.

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.

Add an "allegedly" and an "in my opinion" to your post and you're welcome to your angst. I certainly don't see any point in it until it's happened. And even then the new guy will get my support until results prove otherwise.

So many fucking Cassandras I wonder how you get out of bed in the morning.

It's the people who are constantly aggrieved that get me though as well. There are posters on here desperate for us to appoint him so they can get angry. No balance at all from some posters.

Agree with you though, on the face of it IF it is Lindsey then not a good look and would certainly need a few good players to accompany it

Just back from a week in Turkey so did not pick up on the last few?? pages of this thread until now and not certain what to make of all the various conjectures.

So not in any way being ITK, the panel talk on FB tonight with Paul Caddis is (providing a new incumbent has not been announced) rumoured to be an interesting take on the position.

My advice would be not to read the last 20 pages or so, log off, have a few beers, relax, take the week off the TEF and log back on on Friday when I imagine there will be plenty of news to consume.

But before you do, where in Turkey did you go?

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.

Where were you in Turkey? Not long back myself.
