This is so random it’s barely believable. Garner inherited a rovers team that was flying under Graham Cloughlan and immediately turned it to shit by trying to convert talent-constrained league 1 players into russball-style passing maestros overnight. He won 1 of his 12 games in that first season. And the 1 was pretty miraculous.
So why on earth are we plucking this no-hoper away from coaching children in Ghana to bring him in at a level which is well above the level at which he’s previously been an abject failure? Definitely an Ankersen move. Right to Dream is run by Fleming Pederson (part of the hierarchy at Nordsjælland in Denmark which like RTD is part of the Mansour Group). Pederson spent some time as “head of football philosophy” at Brentford, and guess who appointed him to that job…
ooooooh Danish fwiends
