Evans apparently is after 4 more at Gillingham to take his intake to 13 ??!!, Gills currently brought in nine and lead the way on new signings. They are by far a wealthy club ! So how is it possible? It re-enforces the perspective that a Manager can make a huge difference in terms of bringing players in. Gillingham seldom do much more business than us , that is until Evans arrived.
Whilst there is much than can be admired about Bonds tight lipped approach, I think he could be a little more energetic when bearing the fans in mind, who will be here long after he is gone. The odd dozen words struggled for in the Echo doesnt quite cut it somehow
If you go on the thread about Evans someone has posted a link from an interview with your hero. He says he hands a list of players to Scally and his CEO (or equivalent) and they do the signing.
That aside the fact that they have signed 13 ask yourself how many of those will feature in 30 games or more. Anyone can sign 'back up' players.
Remember that 6ft 4" striker gills signed that you raved about, heaping praise on the managment team, before you had even seen him play.........If i remember right he didn't score a single goal...So where is he now?......And where is the 60 goal non league goal scoring Essex boy we missed out on the following season......Another one who failed miserably at Gills
At least we have the excuse of an injury crisis for nearly getting relegated.....Gills have flirted down the bottom for the last 3 seasons. No wonder they have a high turn over of players.
