Sorry - you aren't allowed to consider other jobs if you're football manager? Why is it different to any other job in the world?

Because this isn’t like a normal job, you have the massive complication of fans. We all know a manager would leave if he gets a better offer but to be actively looking at other jobs shows he isn’t committed and fans won’t tolerate that. Add in the player side where it will be harder to attract players when the managers position is uncertain then it makes it untenable.

I appreciate this is the perceived wisdom - but its a load of shit. I can't see mobs of pitchfork wielding fans marching to the County ground over this I really can't. Bit of a balls up granted, but I don't think his position should be untenable.

Because that seems to be how many football fans think?

I will reiterate what I said earlier, a proportion of the fan base wanted him out when we were in the play offs, they are going to be like pigs in shit if he stays on after this, its not worth it for anyone.

He's had an interview with a team a division higher, would pay more and be closer to home. You can't exactly shoot him for that.

No that’s reality, people didn’t really take to him this season so after finding out this a lot of the fanbase would outright turn on him. He was supposedly interviewed on the 21st, 2 days after the play-off defeat so you have to assume this has been bubbling in the background during the play-offs and again that’s poor. So his position is untenable as support towards him would be toxic. He’s done here.

What other job, if you get the sack, do they pay you for the full length of your contract thats left?

Its very different to the "real world".

I get what you are saying but that's entirely contradictory unless Garner has ben going around applying for jobs (which no one has suggested he is), all that seems to be in the public domain is that he has been interviewed (no indication as to who approached who) and that compo has been agreed, nothing to suggest that Garner applied for nor accepted another job.

As noted before what's set hares running is this getting into the public domain, the original source of which is unknown.

It’s how football works. Players/managers feign loyalty all the time. When it comes back to bite them on the arse there’s no hiding place from the fans.

Trying to judge a footballing employment situation by comparing to an office job at Nationwide or a postman at Royal Mail isn't going to work.

They're not the same thing and pretending they are is just silly.

Somebody has leaked it to the press, if it was kept quiet and he didn't get the job then we would be none the wiser.
BBC West reporting that we have "refused to comment", which suggests (to me anyway) that he IS going but some details (i.e. compensation) still have to be sorted

Good, best outcome for all in the circumstances.
