Listening to that I’m 100% convinced Jim wouldn’t have been able to work with Wilson, they just don’t seem to compatible. Add into the mix niggles with players , the outcome seems inevitable. The dichotomy is without Stott’s money we would likely remain non league for a very long time, but have Jim, With Stott’s investment comes a different approach ie a DoF. I’m really not convinced of what Wilson brings to the table but I’ll see where we are in next couple lot seasons. Mid-table, National League if we’re lucky so long as he’s still here. #tartlife

Just forced myself to watch this. Wish I hadn’t. The sight of them two on the same “webinar” sends shivers. Other than referring to Stockport as a city, here are my worrying takeaways from SW; He described himself as “itchy”, especially when in a “growth/turnaround” situation, which may explain why he has bounced around quite a bit. When asked about his ideal make up of squad, he stated senior players or “daddies of the dressing room” were the top priority. He also referred to them as “my players”. This suggests the likes of Rooney and Hogan were his. When he was asked about coaching staff and when he would look to make a change he said it was like “cheating on a girlfriend” but is always aware of good people in the industry who “align with what we want to do”. The Jim dismissal makes more sense to me now watching that. He gets “itchy” and likes to implement his own ideas. The fact that Jim was doing well probably irritated him and he pulled the trigger to stamp his own philosophy on us. I didn’t take anything positive from it. It was strange in parts. That bit about the 'daddies' in the dressing room! It was like a David Brent phrase. Didn't he also mention the younger players as the 'babies' or did I just imagine it!! Either way,it's a real smart way of saying f*ck all basically. As though nobody has ever thought of having a mix of experience and youth before. I thought he probably spoke better on that than the other interview i heard but to be honest,thinking about it now,he didn't really say anything memorable. It's just wallpaper talk,designed for corporate meetings where the geeks assembled can take notes and feel they've got some insight for their £300 an hour course.! Anyway,what is a Webinar? I think it’s a seminar for w*nkers

That Wilson is more comfortable around a bullshitter like McKnight than he is with a professional like Jim says everything you need to know about him.

Don't know if anybody else managed to stomach all of this McKnight/Wilson thing. But at 1:09:43 McKnight has asked about his management style and Wilson immediately starts waxing lyrical about getting the "Culture" right.

I think it’s essential viewing for every County fan but I suspect most will ignore it.

Two peas in a pod talking absolute shite. Makes it all the more interesting that Suedehead alluded to someone with McShite connections registering on this board in the aftermath of the Gannon sacking telling us how amazing Rusk will be.. Some Swedish crank, he'd written in almost stalkerish detail about Graham Potter and followed him from Ostersunds to Swansea to Brighton. Rusk was mentioned in his writings alongside that Raymond Verheijen. I'm sure McKnight isn't involved in anyway with the current operation, but him and McKnight are both from the same stable. Pointy-shoed gobshites who live in a theoretical world. Just imagine if it came out McKnight was one of Stott's advisors on all this and he'd been instrumental in sacking Gannon? This is obviously conjecture, but if anything like this turned out to be true, I’d have no qualms with calling for Stott to walk away, whatever the cost. Not sure McKnight will have had any official role, but you can bet he’ll have been dripping the poison with that Wilson. Jim Gannon isn’t daft. He’ll have seen all this coming from a mile off. On one hand, I wish he’d gone right at the start and not got involved with these lot. But an even bigger part of me is glad he waited it out. I hope he took them for as much as he could in the payoff.

I've not got that far yet, had to take a break to be violently sick. But when Wilson said about backing a manager 100% until they decide to part at least clarified to me why he was backing him in interviews in January even though they were clearly moving to replace him. What a great culture to instill.

I'd rather replace my bog roll with barbed wire.

I hope he took them for as much as he could in the payoff. I get why they gave JG the boot. I don’t agree with it, but understand Wilson’s motivation to have a yes man in the position so he can fool the roost and not have to worry about being picked up on his bullshitting. The briefing against Jim started a while before the departure. We even saw it on here. Then there was this mythical incident on the bus after Daggers away. Suitably vague, but sneakily and snidely giving people to believe that JG has done something seriously wrong. And it has been briefed out. Sad way to treat a club legend, but this lot have their plans and woe betide anyone who gets in the way. backed by the useful fools .... ‘JG must have done something seriously wrong to get the sack so suddenly.’ Pffft!
