I guess every manager thinks they can turn the guy who signed with a 1st,2nd or Championship club into a formidable player,even if when he was say signed on a freebie from I don't know let's say Port Vale,and while he was there only went out on loan to let's say Dover (bad example) so lets say Dartford . I guess if he was in a Premier Divisions Academy or B team it is better than if he was say in Swindon's academy,but I think poor Mr Harris has got one hell of a job on hs hands this year in getting Gillingham promoted with the check for 472 pounds Scally gave him this off season to bring a promotion winning team to Gillingham Football Club.
Once again it comes through to me LOUD AND CLEAR, the idiot that owns Gillingham Football Club doesn't give a sh*t about the club or the supporters ,Mr.Harris good luck for this year Sir, and if you leave at Christmas to go a First or Championship Club I would not blame you at all. Good luck Sir,please try and keep us in the Second Division if you can,one more relegation will probably be the end of GFC.
