Strange that about this time last season they appointed Tisdale as a consultant to help keep them up.
Which he did of course.
As for Garner ………

I get a lot of people have it in for him, but he didn't exactly do a bad job at Swindle. As for Charlton. Don't think he has done any worse there, than anyone else with the owner they have there. He took us from 4th in the table to the brink of relegation in as quick a time as it was humanly possible. It would be hard to do that if he was just incompetent! He managed it though because he was able to blend his incompetence with arrogance, delusion, lack of vision and his breathtaking ability to not accept any responsibility whatsoever for all the things that fall apart around him! He is on a different level to anyone we’ve ever employed in that role in our entire history except perhaps for the equally talented Martin Dobson.

Neither got a better job after us, ben amazingly did.

His style of football may have been mind numbing but he did assemble the team that PT and LL got us promoted with. LL replaced those players with players like Carl Regan, Mark Wright and Dominic Blizzard. 🤦♂️ Atkins may not have managed much after leaving us but he's had a very good career in football. Atkins went on to work as a recruitment officer throughout Europe for Sunderland. He spent four years as head of recruitment at Everton before taking on the role of head of European recruitment at Aston Villa in 2016. Joined Wolverhampton Wanderers as scout in 2019.

Didn't we add Lambert to Atkins team, if so, it was hardly just his squad who got promoted? Not sure when Disley also joined us as he hardly seemed like an Atkins type player.

After struggling in League 2 and nearly going out with awful football I thought Atkin’s first season was much better, we were even top at one stage before falling away. It went wrong in the end but I think that was due to his ability to start an argument in an empty room. And he was very good, as you say, at getting players in and recognising a decent player as his future career showed. And I’m afraid he did get far better jobs after us. ☹️ UTG!

None in management though, so perhaps he accepted his failings were management.

But he was a fairly uncompromising character esp against Yeovil iirc. UTG!

I was lead to believe that when a new manager is appointed after the January transfer window it is perfectly acceptable to get relegated as they are not his players.
Did that change? I missed the memo.

I missed the memo. Depends how poor the players are. In Barton's case, considering most of the players he inherited are now lower than L1 level, id say very poor
