Another Mad Dog Moment
In another moment of madness from 'Mad Dog' Martin Allen he has quit Gillingham FC after being in charge for less than a month, taking over this summer. With just a month to the start of the Football League season there is hardly any time for the chairman to appoint a new manager and let him make his mark on the team before the season kicks off.
Interesting Choice For New Gills Manager
In what must be described as a panic appointment Gillingham chairman Paul Scally has appointed local coach Jamie Willis as the new Gillingham manager. With little experience of managing a team many fans believe this was a panic appointment and a 'cheap' option. Willis is a regular in the stands at the Priestfield Stadium and having expressed his delight at being named Gills manager he said that he would be 'doing everything he can to ensure success at the club he loves'.
Squad
Unfortunately due to not having an assistant manager I cannot produce a team report for my current squad. This is very frustrating as I cant begin to build a squad that is capable of promotion as I do not know how good my current players are.
Staff
After looking at various details of the club given to me by Mr Scally I noticed that the back room staff was a little thin on the ground. The most notable thing that I noticed was that I currently do not have a assistant manager to help give me any help or guidance. I also noticed that the club had no type of scouting set up. I thought for a professional club that this was poor as I am keen to have someone travel around the country to try and find potential stars for the club.
Transfers
Having been in charge since the end of last season Martin Allen had already brought in a number of players to the squad which gave me a limited budget for this season. The transfer budget that Mr Scally has given me is £15,000 with a wage budget of £25,533. The current wage budget of the squad is £24,667 which leaves me with £866 per week to spend on improving the squad.
Pre Season Fixtures
Before the shock departure of Martin Allen a pre season fixture list had been put together to his specifications. Although the fixtures put together would have been a good work out for my side I decided to cancel all the fixtures so I could set up my own fixtures. The fixtures that I have arranged are;
Sun 10/07/11 – Worcester (Away)
Thu 14/07/11 – Eastbourne Boro (Away)
Mon 18/07/11 – Basingstoke (Away)
Fri 22/07/11 – Cardiff (Home)
Tue 26/07/11 – Brighton (Home)
Sat 30/07/11 – Farnborough (Away)
I shall update at the end of pre season then at the end of every month within the game.
