Yeh, would have been a weird moment to choose to have a dig, which is why I hope it was more a gentle prod in what Jim thinks is the right direction for avoiding another large-scale injury crisis

I agree that Gannon is a club legend, slightly flawed in my opinion, but a legend nevertheless. You can also see why his approach when he WAS the club could have led to the club post takeover thinking is this going to work in the long term. Challinor is doing a fantastic job and doubt he is aware or would care about Gannons input on social media.

Chally is friends with Jim, he doesn't see Jim as a threat. Also he wasn't a good player for us Chal will not have the connection that Jim does.

I'm going to make a prediction now. When mark stott sells the club the first owners move will be to bring Jim back to the club in some form whether as ambassador or dof.
Replacing a very popular owner like Stott will be hard but appointing Jim will be hugely popular.

I'm honestly baffled by the derision and disdain that people have for Gannon. I agree with you. Over a thousand games as player and manager. Came as manager when were in the Pooh on three occasions. Involved in three promotions and manager of our only ever win at Wembley. Nobody has ever done more for our club. He deserves a statue and stand named after him! Was around during both the jim and danny eras and for me the achievments made by jim just as a manager was greater than danny,s were. Then add his games and goals on top he deserves recognition more than danny did. Might be because he is closer in our memory but slag jim off and you,ll get less response against you than having bad words about danny.

Jim’s legend is intact and will remain so. Ultimately, the model we have with a DoF didn’t work for Jim, he wanted complete control, it seems to work well for DC but then again, DC knew what he was getting into whereas Jim had something put upon him whether he liked it or not.

Chally is friends with Jim. I really hope that’s true Dunno if they're 'friends' but heard from a Pools fan who was at the ground during the COVID 5-0 away game that it was Challinor who spoke to Jim about the stuff Rooney was saying about his own players. So reckon there is an element of mutual respect there at least contrary to what people want to tell us that Jim is seen as a laughing stock by the 'insiders' in the game. Didn't surprise me one bit that Rooney was pushed out instantly by Challinor and then Pete Wild at Barrow. The reality is the club wanted to move in a different direction or "culture". Appointed the new zeitgeist coach of a young promising u21 premier league coach, fell on its arse, and then instantly reverted back to a traditional manager appointment in Challinor. Challinor in some ways is probably the perfect blend - I'd assume he wants more control and autonomy than someone like Rusk but is also a bit more flexible and willing to work under a DOF/larger recruitment team.

Said it before but the model under Challinor will be nothing like it was at the end of Jim/start of Steve. We tried to change things too much and it backfired massively. That approach clearly failed, and I think what Challinor has now is probably something Jim could work with.

Of course he's flawed, we all are.

Stott wouldn’t have come in if Jim hadn’t got us out of NLN several people have said. Without Jim and Alan Lord we would have disappeared. If it was me I’d be calling the new Railway End, as it’ll be the new family stand, the Jim Gannon stand.. but that’s just me I suppose. Is a 4500 seat stand really going to be the family stand? I’m not actually convinced by that. Perhaps a section of it but the whole stand definitely won’t be. Not here. Burnley, perhaps though. *gets coat*

He always seems to get more active on social media when County have a few bad results... We’ve just thrashed franchise, are unbeaten in six, and are second in the division. We'd won one in six before that game and the mood was getting waggly...

I'm honestly baffled by the derision and disdain that people have for Gannon. Contrarianism for the sake of it. People have absolutely nothing constructive to say, so they'll say something just to be seen to be saying something on the premise they think it makes them look clever. The modern world of Social Media. Where a young lady has the audacity to say "we're killing our planet and should do better" and gets death threats for it. It's a bizarre world we exist in. Human beings really are quite odd.

Of course he's flawed, we all are. Flawed was fine when he was the club, the touchline bust ups, the refusal to speak to Sky, the taking sponsors to task for their MOM all made Jim what he was and in the main we all loved it, but new ownership may have viewed that side of him with some trepidation.

I'm honestly baffled by the derision and disdain that people have for Gannon. Especially considering how things went once Jim was kicked out and Steve Rust took over. Not as easy as it looks...
