This is either going to be inspired and brilliant or simply dreadful! Let's hope for the former.

So, Manager and assistant manager, and not an ounce of managerial experience between them. We saw what happened when they got rid of Lennie Lawrence and left a coach in charge I presume he’ll still have support and advice from Steve Coppell on an informal basis? The club has put their faith in Garner and have rightly let him choose someone who shares his philosophies and who he trusts. Perhaps the club could have appeased some of our fans and forced a journeyman upon his coaching team? Personally, I’m quietly optimistic and looking forward to a fresh approach with hungry young players and coaches. So you're hoping a "journeyman" is still around to give BG support? What happens if Coppell gets a job himself or decides he doesn't want to continue giving BG free advice?

Some shocking comments again from the usual suspects ...I'm all for free speech but give the guy a chance FFS!!
It's going to be a new start with hopefully an exciting young team and fresh ideas from the management who are both respected coaches ...
If it all goes wrong then the moaners were right but at least give it some time.

I'm exited by this appointment and the pairing of two young largely unknown and untested coaches. I don't know if it will work in fact I think it's a huge gamble, but it is something different . If this comes off it will be typical rovers and if it fails it will also be typical rovers.

Kevin Maher was a first team coach not assistant manager.
As regards the appointment, when Danny Cowley and his brother took over at Lincoln they were unknown quantities, inexperienced and brought a certain philosophy with them.
Garner is doing exactly the same and he’s going to do it now with his team, his players and his methods. IMO it has a similar feel about it to the beginning of DCs reign, terrible starts, unknown inexperienced manager and look where that got us.
Give it a chance I’ll say.

More or less my exact thoughts I thought of the Cowley brothers when this was announced.

DC already had a couple of non league promotions on his CV, Cowley was also non-league manager at Concord and Braintree for the best part of a decade before taking over at at then National League side Lincoln, BG's attempting to learn the job in league one football rather than non-league.

''.....it has a similar feel about it to the beginning of DCs reign.....'' Steady on, now. Certain posters on here won't be best pleased with you likening the reigns of The Oracle Incarnate (DC) and T he Antichrist Rampant (BG).

This could be a really good appointment with his track record of developing young players. It's clear that the team will be comprised of mainly young enthusiastic players with a sprinkling of experience to help them.

Just a pity BG's not an ex England International then who win virtually every domestic and Euro competition as a player, truth is none of us have a clue how next season will pan out, just referring to X,Y or Z being a success is pointless, BG as to deliver in the first 10 or so games of next season.

Not sure what relevance Lampard's playing career has to do with his abilities as a manager. On the flip side, Jose Mourinho had no real playing career to speak of, but won every domestic and Euro competition as a manager. Being a top player does not automatically equal being a top coach or manager. See Arrigo Sacchi and Arsene Wenger for other examples.

I think ben needed his own assistant who he knows and trusts to help him so its a good appointment. I think the club should stick with the plan of bringing young players in and developing them no matter what.

You mean like Stanley Matthews, Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton and other management failures? Nobody can ever guarantee how a managerial appointment will turn out. I recall we were all excited when a certain Paul Buckle condescended to manage us.......

Plus a lot of top players, make awful managers, as football comes naturally to them, so they struggle to improve other player's, as they didn't have to take it in themselves.

Hence my suggestion it's pointless comparing BG to other managers, it's down to him next season to prove he's up to L1 management, unlike DC he's got no real excuses if he fails, which hopefully he won't as with a decent start we could well have a chance of reaching the play offs.

Big gamble on two inexperienced coaches, the uncertainty of when and how next season will start won't help them either, difficult for anyone to prepare for that outcome. Can't see either of these coaches taking on JCH when he throws one of his tantrums on or off the field. At least Coughlan had that in his locker and when he left us we were 4th in the league.
