Gannon says NO

[crodonilson]

Certainly not the end of the world, the shortlist was 3 and the other 2 candidates are high quality.

Slade for me now.

 

[Safeway]

Had a feeling he'd turn us down. Fair play to the fella.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

bugger. Bothroyd or Slade then. Anyone know much about Yeovil fans opinions of Slade?

I think they liked Slade for his sheer kookiness! He started all press conferences by speaking, noone asked him questions, he's just appear before the camera and start talking. He's frankly bizarre. But he got them playing good football, who can forget their play off game with Forest a couple of seasons ago? He won 4 in a row with Yeovil and then got sacked, I think he was doing a good job, and would be good for us.

But I still want Martin Ling.

Brighton and Hove Albion | News | Latest News | Latest News | Gannon to Stay at Stockport

I have to say, although im disapointed not to get him. He is a class act and clearly LOVES Stockport County.

 

[Stoo82]

EDIT: Double post even though i only pressed once.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Stockport to Brighton's a pretty big upheaval, especially if his wife's family are all up that way. Shame, but hey, you move on.

 

[Mendoza]

Maybe we will get a caretaker and he will think again in the summer if Stockport don't go up

He had the Grimsby Town players training on Cleethorpes beach but had to stop as too many little kids were asking for donkey rides

Latest from up North: Mrs Gannon says NO to the move

I know this is a U turn on what I said yesterday, but hot from my source, is that JG discussed the move with his wife last night, and rejected the offer because

1: Wife wants to stay in the North West as has a young family
2: Thinks something better will come along later this year in terms of a job offer.

That is all

Where the hell has all this Russell Slade stuff come from?

Quite.

Where has it come from? Is it this 2+2 horseshit again, or has someone actually announced something?

 

[saafend_seagull]

How do people know its Slade and Boothroyd?

 

[The Large One]

Was on the Talksport sport bulletins yesturday

OK, but was it someone directly quoted as saying 'Brighton are talking to Russell Slade', or one of their wild speculation 'news' items?

He was seen as a good appointment at the time but then Grimsby is a backwater club where nobody wants to end up. Struggled to bring in any real quality players apart from journeymen and screwed it up when the club slipped out of an automatic promotion spot and lost out in the play offs.

 

[Brian Fantana]

PLEASE GOD not Slade. He would be a disaster. Boothroyd or Ince please Dick

Slade's record looks pretty good:


Grimsby Town Flag of England May 28, 2004 May 31, 2006 105 w41 d34 l30 w%39.04
Yeovil Town Flag of England June 7, 2006 Feb 16, 2009 120 w43 d49 l28 w%45.45

"Slade left his post at Yeovil on 16th February 2009, despite having won 4 consecutive matches immediately prior to this.[6] Slade had become frustrated with the club's lack of ambition, although the club chairman John Fry had previously stated that changes would be needed due to the current economic climate."
