Title: Jim Gannon Made Redundant at Stockport
Post by: STFC_Gazza on Wednesday, May 6, 2009, 20:09:59
Can't see this posted anywhere else...


Stockport appear to really be in the shit..... Have made Jim Gannon redundant today along with other members of the coaching staff... The administrators apparently have made almost all staff at Stockport redundant??

Gannon must have been on top wages or something? Stockport fans can't be happy, I am pretty sure they love the guy up there.

Saw this earlier, really bad, i'm pretty sure they are losing their ground also and maybe sharing with macclesfield, they could really go under, which would be a shame, i hope they get out of it.

Who owns the Ground? Sale RFC? I know Sale paid Stockport County's police costs meaning that they could play their local derby against Crewe, othjerwise it had to be played behind closed doors.

Real shame - hope they come through this but it doesn't look good.

A real shame for the fans and the club, but if the administrators think that's what is necessary for the club to survive then it has to be done. I'd expect them to be offloading a fair few players this summer and expect they'll have a pretty crap time next season

I think from memory their trust took over the club (who do not own the ground - beleivei t is aowned by someone else) when no one else wanted to , they been fighting all season against the debts that was left and was close to a deal to manage debts and one of the creditors decided to pull the rug from under them.  I do feel for the trust that took the club over as they done their best with a bad lot, but now obviously with the administrators they will cut costs everywhere. I fear for them if they don't find a buyer.

From what I could see there seem to be more of them blaming their ex-CEO, Mark Maguire (MM), for some unspecified conspiracy related to his takeover bid. Annoyingly they don't say what it is he's supposed to have done that has caused this crisis, but there do seem to be a good lot of them who seem pretty convinced he did something behind the scenes to provoke it. Which may be BS of course but I do feel if people are going to post unsubtantiated rumours on the internet, they should give more precise details :) None of them even talk about "sauces"

And of course if Gannnon has been made redundant they now cannot appoint a "manager" due to the position being made redundant.

Director of football anyone ?

I would and do wish it upon Milton Keynes...the firey pits of hell are too good for them.

Stockport on the other hand, I wish them all the best, hopefully they'll get out of it.

As Donkey says..I WOULD wish it on MKD and the Pox but all the rest....shitty/rovers/reading/gillingham etc I would not wish it onto...best of luck to them.

I wouldn't wish it on the pox, however.  Just Milton Keynes.  I do find the pox in non-league fucking funny though!

I like the fact Burton were trying to nick the Pox manager. Oxford rightly declined. These big boys, who do they think they are bullying non-league clubs like that.

Off the original subject, but am I really the only one on here who would love to see Oxford up in the same division as us?  Rivalry is so much more alive when you actually play each other.

N'ah, they'd lap it up had this been the other way round.

I would love them to come up to our level, us tthrash them home and away, and get them relegated. repeat ad nauseum.
