It is a good read, a grown up measured owners report on his club and the problems they have faced, unlike the self pitying sycophantic trash that periodically is issued by our owner wallowing in his and his family's problems. I thought we were told Hanlan was a free, now it's possible he might become our record signing.

I met Paul Scally outside Lancaster Gate after the Scott Sinclair tribunal when Gillingham had also had a player stolen by Chelsea.
I was aware of the fact that he was a Marmite type owner but many are. He came across as somebody who truly cares for the club he owns and this very detailed letter enforces it. He has many years of experience in the game and I didn't see any spin in that letter just hard facts.
Very impressive communication with his clubs supporters.

It was never going to be a free. Unlikely to be a record fee for us. He was only at Gills for 2 years having started off at Charlton. |

There seems to have been some sort of cock up with the editing there. 'Bristol Rovers offered a derisory 50k' should surely be 'We couldn't believe our luck when Bristol Rovers offered 50k'

Sadly he's been watching too much Errington Kelly. |

Funny, JCH use to get cheap fouls by falling over with a light touch. I assume because of his size everyone including the ref thought it must be an overly strong push.
Yet Hanlan and Nicholls are berated for not being strong enough.
Hanlan appears to end up off balance with all his twisting and turning and falls easily.

The ins and outs are immaterial though aren’t they- if the guy is going to ground and not winning free kicks then he brings a net negative to the team and should not be picked. The fact that B***** continues to pick him surely has to lend ammunition to the school of thought that, even though these aren’t his players he still isn’t picking the most efficient team that he could. He seems to sub off players playing well too which seems to be glossed over by those who think he’s the man to rebuild this club in league two after he takes the club down. |

Got through the first 2 pages, scrolled down, saw how many more pages there were and lost interest, sorry, but that was a load of meandering waffle.
Could probably have said it all, and said it better, with a quarter of the words.

Not the content, the length Vs the number of actual points made. |

It would be better than the communication that we are currently getting. We have learnt more from Paul Scally about our own club than from our own CEO. |
