This is our worst spell since Martin Allen was in charge!!! So Taylor must have had an effect! I really can't see what Scally could possibly be doing, surely he can't be giving this current set up a chance to prove themselves? I am so sick of being linked to people with no first hand experience even if they once played for the club, Lovell included.

A lot of people are blaming Scally for the lot including Kedwell in a paper interview but I fear there is a lot going on behind the scenes on that one so perhaps this was best. On the face of it Fish going as well looks as if the club is in crisis when in reality it appears we are trying to sign Hoyte permanently and his days were numbered here anyway.

But where Scally has to shoulder a lot of the blame is definitely the reluctance in signing a manager (every game and loss of 3 points reduces the chances of staying up significantly). Then there is the Michael Doughty scenario. Here the club stated QPR recalled him back early from his loan. That's fine, it happens but he was the difference in midfield in my opinion however the article on the QPR website says he was SENT BACK as he was surplus to requirements by the new coaching set up at the Gills! REALLY? We would choose to fill our side with unplayed development squad players instead of one of the top 3 players we had at our disposal! Whose decision was this? Mark Patterson trying to prove that his young players are League 1 first team standard?

Scally needs to appoint Monday morning otherwise he needs some impressive programme notes for Saturday to avert one of the most hostile home games in years.

Oddly, I find myself increasingly indifferent to this. I'm heartily sick of Scally's regime but nothing now surprises me about his lies and self-serving exploitation of the club. He hasn't ever invested in GFC but used it as a cash cow for his own lifestyle. He is neither a football supporter nor a fan of GFC, his attitude and behaviour to staff, players, managers, other clubs, the FA and above all the paying customers shows this.
New ground, new manager, new investors, new players ? It's all a bad joke.

God I hate to say this, and I don't mean it to sound as it's going to, but he was a second hand Copy Machine salesman,what do you expect from him, do you think when he bought Gillingham FC he went off to Kings Collage to take a degree in Sports Business Management, he sold copy machines folks used ones at that and good for him he made a bundle and he saved us from becoming the ex Gillingham FC,who would now be playing now under the name of Gillingham United playing on some ground off Pump lane and watched by 50 people with no lives, the big game of the season would be against against Ebbsfleet , 258 people in the ground.
Scally is going nowhere,why would he, and he is happy being in division 1 and 2,doesn't require much effort to run a club badly, if you want to genuinely do something effective it is really really simple, NO ONE turns up for the game against Coventry,that would get his attention real quick.
The Chicago Cubs have gone from year to year never winning anything but always filling the ground, selling millions of dollars worth of season tickets becasue it was the Chicago Cubs,the " LUVER BALL LOSERS" of Baseball,still playing in a Stadium built in 1900 with a metal trough, in the mens bathroom, then last year people finally said enough is enough, and the gate was down 10,000 per game,about 25%, and over this winter a new winning manager has been bought in, top players have been signed and the ground has been improved, makes you think doesn't it??

I am going to win Man of the Year, I am going to be a pin up model, I am going to own the whole of Portugal.

NOPE just saying it doesnt make it happen. Note to Scally, stop talking tripe, saying it doesnt make it happen.

[Garawa]

Certainly not after 6 years of the same thing over and over!! I don't really care about that too much to be honest. I don't see any chairmen out there who either don't act like children of the 1930's are treat the fans like dog mess and I don't feel Scally acts any differently but his apparent constant desire to appease the fans over and over with such obviously false promises is getting tiresome now. Now watch the announcement of a rich benefactor and new stadium appear shortly!

[Robpthegills]

If we get relegated Gary, it will be the first thing he does in the summer to try and flog a few season tickets

Nevertheless, most Chairmen either bankroll the club or get others to do so; and many of them are genuine fans of the game and their team, especially in the lower divisions. Scally does/is none of these, he is a chancer who enjoys the publicity and money he gets out of GFC but puts nothing back.
