Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

[RavenBish]

A mental appointment but it wouldn’t be the first mental appointment that worked out

 

[Boz]

Some Rovers fans were hoping we’d have done this. Coleman was at PP yesterday presumably scoring for the Gills visit at the end of the month.

It will be interesting to see how it goes, Coleman’s spells with Rochdale and Southport were not the success that the two Accrington stints were.

 

[Stocky]

Gillingham owner definitely reads Twitter doesn't he?

These Yanks, pumping money up in left, right and centre. Not got a clue what they're doing. Just rolling the dice over and over.

It may work tbf. This division is there for the taking.

 

[AmberAndy]

Surely Coleman will need a personal oxygen tent to work this far South? Very sorry for Bonner wanted his next appointment after us to work out for him.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

For me the best fit for Coleman may have been barrow had the job come up but it seems a strange choice for the position.

He seemed more likely at a struggler as a good old hand to get them through it but he has nothing to lose at gillingham really

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Didn't have Bonner to Coleman on my bingo card.

Must be weird being Gillingham.

 

[spireite]

Not what i was expecting

 

[GTFCfish]

Gill’s are probably the L2 underachievers of the season so far.

I reckon Carlisle might just give them a run for their money.

Take out the first five games and we’d be rock bottom of the league. We need someone who is going to give our shower of shite players a kick up the arse and stop us falling in to a relegation fight.

Forget promotion, we need a few nasty 1-0 wins. Perhaps Coleman is the right man, perhaps he isn’t. We shall see. Something needed to be done though.

Didn't Gillingham get rid of Harris last year because he was too defensive? That worked out well.

 

[lordofthepies]

I thought Coleman's Accrington teams played some good attacking football. Maybe that changed in recent years, I hadn't been playing close attention lately.

No. His dismissal was not down to football reasons.

 

[Gi Dalor]

No. His dismissal was not down to football reasons.

I wasn't aware of this. Obviously his dismissal was surprising, and given what's followed, dumb, as was not immediately giving the job to Scott Lindsay.

Was it a personality clash with someone, or a disciplinary concern? (I'm being as vague as possible in the hope that will enable you to answer).

Oh really? Fair dos then.

Great news and fully deserved

It was both of the things you mention, but if the rumours are correct it wasn’t our owners who sacked him. Scally was acting CEO at the time and Kenny Jackett was DOF. Both have since left the club.

I agree with you about Scott Lindsey, apparently a deal with him was agreed but then we decided we didn’t want to pay the compensation. A daft decision in retrospect.
