Something amiss here in the whole thing - either he's not been invited or Suedehead's, etc, ITK contacts are being a bit mischievous in the leaks they've been supplying.

Is it the owners or Wilson? Results are poor at the moment so it's Wilson all day long.

If you'd asked me as the final whistle was about to go against Halifax whether I'd want Wilson to go. I'd have said, unequivocally, yes.

As I say, I’m just passing on what I’ve been told. And, as I said earlier, if I’m wrong then happy to say that. But he certainly hadn’t been invited pretty recently. And tbh, even if he has, I doubt some at the club really want him there. Which says more about them than it does about Jim. Every single person at the club right now is at least a decade behind Jim in terms of service/achievements.

Some food for thought from the greatest living legend that we have. James Gannon is pure class. Highly recommend reading the whole thread. Classy sentiments but would have been better without referencing Gradi.

Indeed. I remember the Dave Jones thing. Worked wonders. Is he coming to this do?

And wasn't having a go at you for relaying the information, I'd just be surprised if your contact didn't want it to come out in the way it has, e.g. "Jim isn't getting an invite" - rather than "Jim will be getting an invite, but his invite might not have been sent yet as we're working through a list of 20-30 people".

We sacked Jim and replaced him with Simon Rusk. Even the best part of two years later that is still one of the most baffling decisions the club has ever made. If Challinor went Jim would still be my number one choice to replace him. And here is revealed the fundamental issue with this forum - a total inability to move forward from entrenched positions, and a perspective reinforced by little more than constant unthinking repetition; a viewpoint as out of touch with reality as so many other threads on this forum. Much as I appreciate everything that Jim has done for the club as a player, manager, and ambassador, he is not the way forward, nor ever was. The removal of Jim was explicable, and rapidly - after a false start (Rusk) - led to an escape from the NL which will elude a number of big teams for the next few years. The Rusk experiment failed, but was in fact worth a try; another manager from this mould may have worked, but Rusk didn’t; football management is not an exact science, and our progress over the next few years will not be straightforward. The removal of Jim was not baffling at all, and I am surprised that you think it was.

The problem with Jim is that he's done nothing aside from County to be considered a legitimate choice for either the County job (if DC went) or any other jobs in the EFL / NL. His last job was Hyde and he got sacked from that. We've seen what he's capable of with the 2 promotions, but realistically anyone looking for a new Manager is looking for a wider body of work, which Jim simply can't put on his CV.

He may or may not be the way forward now, but the idea that he never was is absolutely totally and completely nuts and comprehensively disproven. Which is a polite way of saying laughable bollocks.

Seriously? When Jim Gannon took over with the club at the bottom of the league to replace Chris Turner he wasn't the way forward?
