Any appointment would be better than Les. Delighted he's gone. Seven years too late. Sherwood appointment to be announced today. ...possibly

Is the above from the club, released as a teaser or just been done by a fan?

Maybe he knew the youth was no good and knew how to change it, but Les wouldn't take it on board. Now he comes back, knows what'swrong and clear ideas how to fix it. All what ifs of course.

Don’t know too much about Steve Gallen other than he was reserve team coach here and went on to become DOF at Charlton.
Watched a you tube video of him describing his current role at Charlton and why they appointed Ben Garner from Swindon as manager which ended badly after a few months.
It could be said Charlton are similar size club run badly by poor owners just like us, if I’m honest would prefer a DOF with a better ‘proven ‘record of success over a candidate of who had previous links to this club

The timing of Mark Warbourton resigning Could be fundemental Coincidence I think. My initial thoughts when Warburton quit West Ham and Les was sacked on the same morning was it was clearly Warburton for DoF. Apparently not one of our top 2 choices though.

We are more like the British Legion than a football club - just a social club for old boys whose only qualification is their connection to the club. Have we learned nothing from the Ferdinand appointment? Does Steve Gallen even know how to log on to a computer, let alone be a master of data analytics? Fucking joke club nowadays.

Wouldn't mind Gallen myself. Huge step up from Les in my opinion. Hasn't relied on his playing career to get to DoF level.

In the past Charlton had a very good reputation for selling players, what players has Gallen and his assembled coaching staff produced recently? Theres an advert on their official website advocating the players brought through their academy that went on to bigger things many years ago, now they run a lottery for fans to help pay for their Academy costs. With the new home ruling regarding relaxing regs on foreign players granted work permits a more progressive route would be to look at Scandinavian candidates.

Its a good point Sparks but it begs the question - does Steve Gallen have a big network of continental European scouts? Given the relaxation in the rules (which our club probably isn't aware of) would increase the value in a foreign DoF with more international connections. This just looks like a horribly lazy appointment to me, no chance they would have done anything professional like use headhunters.

Do headhunters even exist in football? All driven by agents isn't it?
Don't think Gallen is that lazy an appointment. Has grafted hard to move up the food chain at Charlton. And let's be honest, financially we are more or less on a par with Charlton these days too.

Saying that, if anyone's seen Charlie Austin's Twitter he seems to be clamouring for Gallen. Whether that's for us or Swindon I don't know but he also seemed to indicate "good news" after the news broke about Les.

Charlie is definitely talking about us, not Swindon. Gallen is nailed on I think.
