trafficlight Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Looking forward to hearing what JG himself has to say about his departure. He isn't one to pull any punches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 There you go. It was stoney who brought up the suggestion that Gannon may have been given a deadline. Which I'm guessing may have expired some time this morning. You then asked a stupid question and I gave a stupid answer. Like 'Flow, I shouldn't have bothered. And I've no problem with you being on here for a few hours, just stop talking pish. My apologies. In my defence you write as one. Your still a short sighted fud though. Im actually quite pleased that Flow doesnt bother with me. I havent bothered wi him for years. All Fur coat and no knickers. As for your assertion that Gannons deadline passed today, which you admit is a guess, well if thats the case then why dont the club just come out and say that?

Well Well Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Flogging dead horses gentlemen...we will never know the full reasons behind this unless Gannon comes out in the next few days with his version. I don't know if he is a vindictive person but if he is he will absolutely slaughter the Scottish game and quite rightly too. Think the Motherwell post is starting to look like a poisoned chalice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlietoogood Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Not sure if such info has already been posted, if it has then my apologies. It's been no secret that his family still live down here & so he's constantly had to travel a long way to do his job, partly why Jim didn't want to commit himself to a longer contract. Part of the reason he's not been happy is interference. I think the last straw was apparently Boyle wanted to sign Ruddy for half a million - to which Gannon pointed out that if there's that much to spend, he'd rather it went elsewhere. It was extra surprising after money wasn't released for other (much cheaper) attempts to sign non-league players. To be honest I think this is best for both parties. It's not fair on Motherwell to have a man in charge who can't/won't commit himself, and you can't get the best out of Jim Gannon if someone else is pulling the strings (I remember posting on here when you first got him that if you gave him three years to do what he wants then you're guaranteed a very good side, doesn't look like that would ever have happened) He was at EP today, but there's absolutely no chance of him returning to County, not with the people who sacked him still (somehow) in charge. Left to go watch Crewe after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheshireCat Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Yes he was at EP today. There is a strong rumour it's Crewe. Apparently it was interference from the club in football affairs mainly signing players. He was set to resign because of this but the club sacked him.

Modernist Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm not happy with Gannon's sacking. We've missed a trick here as he will go on to prove to be a top manager in my opinion. There's more to this than meets the eye and I fully expect to hear Gannon's side of the story in the not too distant future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was extra surprising after money wasn't released for other (much cheaper) attempts to sign non-league players. Seriously? If Gannon expects to run a football club for 3 years with no-one else having a say I suggest he look at his local boys team - although I'm not sure the teenagers would put up with his obvious huffing and mood swings. He has shown himself in a really bad light over the last six weeks or so. If he has talent as a coach he is going to have to learn some basic diplomacy skills to make a good manager anywhere.

SuperSteelman Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Yeah i think he was made redundant last march, are Stockport still in administration? There is talk of them going out of the game completely soon. I think it's something to do with the local council renting the ground to them and not cutting them any slack.

Special aka Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 well then, bang goes the arguments for him staying or going Slightly taken aback by this news, but not surprised. Nothing surprises me with football anymore. Hell of a time to look for replacement, especially with Are Shite doing the same thing. Looks like we could be going into a very crucial 2-week period with no-one at the helm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malky79 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Not to put you down or anything Charlie, but I smell shite here. Rumours are ten a penny but I had similar related to me by someone who normally only passes on reasonably accurate info, fee being £400k but essentially that a deal was in advanced stages. If money was available for that and Gannon thought he could get better use of it elsewhere he'd have good reason to be annoyed. What the exact truth of everything around this affair is I doubt few will ever know but he's away so as well looking forward than backward!

Special aka Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I doubt it, Stockport are in a really bad way financially. And heading for relegation. If you were a player, where would you rather ply your trade ? Fir Park/Ibrox/Parkhead/Tynecastle/Pittodrie, etc., or Plainmoor/Gigg Lane/Edgar Street/Moss Rose, etc.. ?
