[S'hampton Seagull]

Unbelievable appointment. Hats off to Rob Andrew, no idea how we've managed that!

This is as hot as the news when Brian Clough was announced as Albion Manager - just hope he stays a bit longer as JG knows his stuff.

Maybe the pathway for Sussex coaches helped attract him, Moores became Mens senior coach [twice], Robinson is the current Ladies coach and Hopkinson is involved with the u19's / Lions I believe. Gillespie for England - later - we need a couple of seasons out of him first - 5 would be good looking at what he did at Yorks.

Best news coming out of Sussex for ages

Fantastic appointment. Hopefully the 'Get Chris Adams in' crowd will see the error of their ways.....

That is a little unfair. That 'crowd' would not have dreamt that JG was anywhere near our radar.

Jeez, yeah, put me in the 'impressed' camp. I wasn't expecting that at all, I thought it might go to some guy Rob Andrew once met on a jolly at Twickenham who'd once played for Cambridge University Seconds.

 

[Albion Robster]

Fantastic news.
I was half expecting Rob Andrew to appoint Clive Woodward as the new coach....!!!

 

[Yes Chef]

Delighted to have a coach of Gillespie's calibre.
Feel a little sorry for Chris Adams, who touted himself again, as he did a couple of years ago when Davies was appointed. He clearly loves the club, and I thought he would be considered.
Andrews said something last week about not dwelling on the past, so hopefully Dizzy can usher in a new golden era.

That 'crowd' were also overlooking a deeply concerning culture at Surrey that either a) developed under his watch or b) he had 5 years to discover and do something about.

I would rather have had Yardy.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Amazing appointment!
(just expect every interview answer to start "...Look....")

That is as maybe...but with our recent outlook and appointments..I guess JG was a wistful thought only. Your argument against Adams may be entirely fair but using the JG appointment to rebuke the Adams crowd was unfair. By all means take the debate to them with what you have just opined on.

Believe me I did.

Couldn't be happier with this appointment though and you are right I don't think anyone thought it would happen.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Should help Archer’s progression too. Good stuff.

Amazing appointment. It's left me feeling a little bit dizzy.

 

[Eeyore]

Really surprised. Happily surprised. Not sure how they've pulled this one off.

Indeed. I'm sure we would have fancied Trevor Bayliss if we thought he'd take the job!

Fantastic Also bonus that hopefully we have now heard last of Adams.
