John Coleman was supposed to be the steady pair of hands to see out the remainder of the season, but the Gills brass have landed the man they wanted to take the club forward, and they’ve made the change immediately.

It’s the start of a new era (again) at Priestfield as the Gills make another managerial change at ME7. But, after seeing the Galinsons’ appointments of Stephen Clemence, Mark Bonner and John Coleman all fall short, will things be any different this time around?
The ME7 Podcast team jumped on Twitter Spaces to chat about the big news, as they, plus a selection of fellow Gills fans, discussed and debated the latest managerial change at Priestfield.
