I was expecting to mention us but he sounded soulless

So depressing to hear him talk. Reminds me of Luke Williams.

Hopefully this isn't a product of a lot of youth coaches if we're continuing with the model.

I supported Garner while he was with us but never took to him as a tactician or person, this isn't sour grapes at him leaving, that doesn't bother me at all. I posted similar back in January.

Never have I been to "meh" about a manager leaving us for another club, ever, he was a dull uninspiring talker who never really engaged with fans at any level, his substitutions at times were bizarre and his tactics to constantly just pass the ball inspite of it being 2 yards in front of our goal just suicidal when just the occassional hoof would have suited the situation better, certainly in L2 with the players we had.

Admittedly in the last 7 games or so that changed somewhat and we did become better to watch due to us not playing as many hospital balls back to a keeper who struggled kicking it long.

Yes at times it was some great football to watch, breaking with pace down the wings and the middle but mostly it was keeping possession with 20 short passes inside our half only to have one stray pass be picked up by the opposition and regularly punished or at least a goal scoring chance was created.

I don't miss him and he barely registered on my radar as manager as he often kept himself to himself.

Nobody can blame him for leaving when the going was "pretty good" as he actually didnt really achieve anything other than being 1 penalty kick away from the play off final, a managers career is, of late, shorter than most player careers so make hay while the sun shines.

I bare no mallice to him and good luck for the future but I truly think we can, and will, do better than him as manager.

Thanks for 1 pretty good season against the odds at the start of the campaign, shame it wasnt a very good season in the end.

Now lets move on and support the new incoming young manager.

Similar to Wellens for me.

Did well in a small window.
Don’t think we were going to fully know what we had with Garner until season #2 which obviously we won’t get.

All in all Venks a steady 7/10 for me.
Can’t see him lasting the season at Charlton.

Wellens was class, however we all have opinions.
Would have him every day over Foldy Arms.

Class first season.
Atrocious second season.
Third season would have been an indication of which was the ‘true’ Wellens.
His post STFC managerial stats are poor.

I think all of the clubs that Wellens has been at have been basket cases for different reasons, so the championship season for us he deserves a lot of credit for, and for the overall job he did with fan engagement etc.

I really fancy LO for a strong season next year, and it's the first job he has had where you would say he is not at a real basket case club.  I personally think he will prove the doubters wrong in a relatively stable environment.

So if no announcement today, the bloke reporting a man in his 40s having a pic with a scarf above his head yesterday at the ground was probably yanking our chain.
