The sacking itself though didn't have to be an issue, it was taking an unnecessary risk on an unproven Manager that was the real problem.
We could still have been a Football League club now even without Jim.
The sacking itself was a mistake, it pissed off fans and was handled dreadfully.
They could have softened the blow by not f*cking up his replacement but they didn’t and that’s on them.
What they should have done was give him until the end of the season, then they could have got rid of him if we failed to go up saying he failed to reach his target. I’d have been disappointed but understanding. Of course that ran the risk of him succeeding in taking us up and they couldn’t have risked that - he really would have been unsackable.
Christ they’d have been better off getting rid in the summer of 2020 saying they wanted their own man, rather than giving him a new contact and speaking about both sides of their mouths in the press about how he was the way forward.
These words are why I am unlikely ever to trust Simon Wilson. He shouldn’t be allowed to forget them. This was 9 days before JG was sacked:
"If what they had been doing was wrong we would have changed them, definitely," he acknowledges. "But because we knew it wasn't wrong, that long-term affiliation with the club is just added value for us really. These guys knew what they were doing.
"Without being disrespectful to managers, a lot of them don't have a real philosophy of coaching. They don't write it down, they don't research it. Jim does. He almost has his own football manual that he has written. That shows his depth of thinking about the game.
"In many ways Jim represents Stockport. His personality, fighting for the little man, it is who Stockport are. He helps us as new owners to understand the identity of who Stockport are."
Snide.
