I'm backing Ben.
It's been a crazy bad start and I wont come off looking intelligent. But I think he'll have a real threat next season.

All but one of those names have been told that they're done here. Might explain why they're not quite giving it the 100%. BG seems to differ on that point according to his interview today......
With several players out of contract in the summer, negotiations are underway for new deals, and Garner insists no-one, yet, has been told they do not have a future at the Mem.
“Everyone’s part of the group at the moment”Load of absolute old pony that is. And that comment won’t have done him any favours.

Can't wait until tonight is over and he can go and coach an under 12's team. Starnes and him can play football manager and chairman on their computers.

What I don't get is why people have so readily accepted this "It's a rebuild project" line.
It wasn't a rebuild project before BG came in so if it's a rebuild project now that's because BG did the demolition.
In which case ... why are people so happy to let the guy who did the f**king up do the rebuilding?

I'd like to ask anyone still backing him, what evidence they can point to to back this up. Let's hear it, I'm genuinely interested.

If you can defend him then you will defend pretty much anyone. Ben Garner is incredibly naive playing the long game.

I was very surprised that he still had a job with us yesterday morning after that shambles on Saturday, so it looks like we’ve got him to the bitter end of this season no matter what! :In Wael we trust 👀:

With £20,000,000 debt and losing £65,000 a week the future is youngsters and loanee’s for the foreseeable

BG has obviously been given a direct mandate to modernise the set up to bring it in line with teams at this level and higher. He kind of alluded to this in his last interview. His target was also to get the club playing a style of football that might see them able to compete at higher levels in years to come. His main errors in my view were/are.
1) He should have returned Mansell to his previous role ,which he was doing well at . Then brought in a coach that was on the same page as him ,with Kevin Maher still helping out in training (as in the GC days ).A good no 2 and not so many new players would have been better value for money.
2) He should have realised established lower level players are at that level for a reason. Then looked at those players best attributes and tried to play to their strengths. With a very basic game plan of don't concede goals. GC had the team at the we wont lose because we defend in numbers and spoil games. That game plan just needed slow small tweaks over the season to improve the viewing satisfaction.
BG will improve things BUT he needs some short term gains to buy him time. The board should find the money NOW so he can bring in a coach of his choice.
