Gannon's body language yesterday said

[Philcounty]

Sorry to continue this silly debate, but thought I should correct you on a couple of points that have been made:

Uncle Spielberg

average 4000 gate

County's average was 6130 this season which is comparable to Brighton's 6092.

Deano's Invisible Pants

Seeing the size of our crowd and the hero worshipping of Russell at the end should have been all the 'stick' he needed to receive.

County's highest home attendance this year was 10273 compared to Saturdays attendance of 8618.

Jim is hero worshipped at County to an extent equal to or more than any manager out there. As a player he made 383 appearances scoring 52 goals (not bad for a defender) for County. As a manager he took us from the brink of relegation from the football league to a Playoff final and promotion in 3 seasons. This year has been relatively successful under the circumstances and through the worst times in our history he has stuck by us. To Stockport fans he is GOD and he knows he would struggle to find that adoration anywhere else.

Sorry for the rant, just had to put a few things straight

What has BHAFC got to do with a Stockport fan anyway?

O dear this thread is a wank fest.

I assume US and Walt were happy when Coppell, Adams, Horton left for bigger clubs

I think "wanker" is a tad harsh.

Blinded by our devotion to the Albion we may be, but perhaps he didn't want to uproot his young family several hundred miles. Maybe he felt a strong sense of loyalty to Stockport's players and fans. I think that's quite admirable considering their circumstances: many people in his position would have jumped ship at the first opportunity.

To call him a wanker simply because he decided the Albion wasn't the right move for him at that point in his life is deeply unfair, IMHO. The likes of Ian Holloway and Alan Pardew, who go fluttering their eyelashes at every club who comes knocking, then piss off leaving their existing clubs in the lurch, deserve your abuse.

I don't see why Jim Gannon deserves to be booed under the circumstances. Loyalty is a rare quality in football, it's nice to see a bit for once.

Spot on !

Before this season very little apart from Glenn Murray; this season there have been quite a few reasons for there to be mutual interest. A few examples McNulty, Davies, Dicker and the final game of the season and not to forget the Gannon episode which is why I commented on this thread

I think the bitterness on here towards Gannon is becuase people realise he's a good manager and those directing the abuse would have loved him to come here. I was definitely hoping Gannon would come, but respected his decision not to.

Anyway, all the bitterness is made to look even more sad when we have Russell Slade who's just performed a miracle for us. What is there to complain about ?
