It's not going well at Gillingham.
Our last three managers:
Harris - relegated from League One with Gillingham and now 23rd in League Two
McCarthy - unemployed
Morison - unemployed
Makes you wonder what benefit there is to the club to keep employing managers that nobody else seems to want.Quote:

Perhaps we should get some advice from Swansea who seem to employ managers that other clubs want.
McCarthy appointment after the initial interim period was just as strange as giving Hudson the job. Cheap options every time.Quote:

Watched the game yesterday and Gillingham are the worst EFL side I’ve seen in ages on that evidence - they’ve scored six league goals all season! Think it should be said though that Neil Harris did get us to the Play Offs and I think he made some pretty good signings (eg Moore and Ng) - yes, the football was dull, but we were mostly a top half Championship side under him.
I think Lee Tomlin should take most of the credit for getting us to the play-offs.Quote:
