rjwc22 0 Posted May 6, 2009 Could that be a precursor to him coming to CR or just an indication that he is not good enough even for Stockport? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missing in action? 0 Posted May 6, 2009 i think its a precursor...purely because they are cost cutting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chewbacca 0 Posted May 6, 2009 Jim Gannon is exactly what our club needs right now! His record certainly puts that of Mark Robins'' in the shade.Unfortunately under our current stewardship I have no faith in the board making such an appropriate move for a successful up-and-coming young manager.

rjwc22 0 Posted May 6, 2009 I think his win % is about the same as Robins but he has managed for a lot longer.I cannot see our board appointing someone who has been so outspoken in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted May 6, 2009 Would be a right catch! I''m happy with him or Robins tbh, either would do a good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Slob 0 Posted May 6, 2009 Our board have such a shockingly bad football knowledge, that they probably don''t know who Jim Gannon is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,129 Posted May 6, 2009 Would be very happy with Jim Gannon - young, extremely hungry manager, but with a fair amount of experience AND qualifications, who tries to get his teams playing football the "Norwich" way. If we''re to get out of this league, then either a manager with experience of lower league football, or an investor with a lot of money are absolutely vital IMO.Plus looks like he could well be out of contract soon. Could there be a better choice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superflash 0 Posted May 6, 2009 With Gunn''s contract expiring, this should free up some money to cover Gannon''s wages? He''d be an ambitious signing no doubt. It''s a bit annoyimng that we''d have to wait for another team to go into administration just so we can pinch their manager, but a chance like this would be too good to turn down. We''d not have to pay compensation unlike if we tried to bring in Robins or Tilson, plus he''s got a good record at his current employers. Maybe it would help if we started a Facebook group about bringing him in and then email the link to Delia? [A] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missing in action? 0 Posted May 6, 2009 45% win ratio at stockport.bare in mind that this is at a club which has plummeted before he was the gafferbeen in administration twice (currently in 2nd spell)he has the attributes needed.they play good football. he has a keen eye for a player and he is not a yes man (good for us but not for the board?)oh, and unlike robins, proven at league 1 standard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul moy 235 Posted May 6, 2009 Looking at his record, this man really does deserve serious consideration !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjwc22 0 Posted May 6, 2009 The downside to him is that he is known for being very outspoken and has criticised refs and other managers and his own players in the past - think there was some controversy over Gareth Owen being forced out of Stockport a while back???

Camuldonum 0 Posted May 6, 2009 The problem with Jimbo is not his ability - he''s also one of the few lower league lot to have a full pro licence - but his enormous wage and bonus demands. Brighton were set to hire him earlier this year but just could not afford what he was asking - particularly on the bonus front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjwc22 0 Posted May 6, 2009 Weren''t Brighton also linked with Boothy before opting for Slade? Decision seems to have worked out well for them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clean sheets win titles. Unless you''re Wolves this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
