"Animo-Et-Fide" - Stockport County FC - The Next Jimmy Gannon

**SamScfc** · 07/01/2010

Stockport County have today announced that manager Gary Ablett has been sacked after a
1 - 0 friendly win over League 2 side Grimsby Town. This came after a bust-up between Ablett and three teenagers, they were sat right beside the dugout and didn't hold back to tell Ablett exactly what they thought of his tactics.

"Your clueless" was the final straw as Ablett immediatley ran down to the changing rooms, then immediatley dashed home on his BMX.
The Stockport physio, Steve Jones, said to the three teenagers: "Seen what you've done, we have no manager now" He also demanded that the three teenagers see if they can do any better.

Sam Charnock was appointed manager for 45 minutes along-side his mates, Adam Burgess and Jay Beattie who were his assistants. The first thing they did was bring David Poole on for the injured Matty Mainwaring and also put Carl Baker inbehind striker Oli Johnson for more of an attacking threat.

20 minutes into the second half, David Poole scored and immediatley ran to the 15 year old manager and thanked him for putting him on.

After the match, Sam Charnock told owner-to-be, Jim Melrose, and said he is willing to be manager for a pound a month, due to a lack of funds, Jim Melrose appointed Sam Charnock as manager for the 2009/10 season.

The first thing Sam Charnock did was offer Jay Beattie and Adam Burgess his advisors and made John Ward his assistant.

Transfer Budget: 10K
Wage Budget: 2, 081K

Current ins:
Jerome Wright (FC UNITED) LM. - Some might find this a strange signing but when I was FC UNITED he was an absoulute dream at Left Wing, with a bit of training he could be a regular, and at £230 a week it doesn't realy affect the Wage Budget much.

Seyfo Soley (Free) - Another good signing as we beat off a host of other clubs for his signature.

Ben Mee (Loan, Man City) - A good prospect and a really good player at League One Level.

Hughie Macauley to take charge of friendlies.

Accrington - drew 0 - 0
Staines - Won 3 - 0

Parent Club: Wigan Athletic :/

Not the best but out of Bolton and Stoke I opted for Wigan.

Also: I negotiated a 140K offer with Peterborough for Michael Raynes to 60K and left-back Tom Williams, which they accepted

Just hope it goes through.

Please follow and advice welcome

For some reason Willy Topp isn't on my game now

Which I dont understand, anyway I'm gonna have to look for another striker.
I'm not really looking to sell anyone just yet, because we have no money so may aswell keep hold of what I've got and take it from there.

Good luck mate, Stockport is a very tough job, I'm sure you can keep them up though

**SamScfc** · 07/01/2010

Deveronvale - 0 - 0

Glenavon - won 2 - 0
Blackburn Reserves - won 2 - 1

Port Talbot - won 3 -0
Worcester - won 2 - 1

Also, Wigan plan to send defender John Routledge on loan. DONE.

The transfer deal to send Tom Williams to Stockport and Raynes to Peterborough, has fell through after Raynes rejected the move

Mohammed Sylla joins on a free transfer

Matt Hamshaw joins as Raynes joins Notts. Co for 100k plus Hamshaw.

Season now underway, will post montly updates.

Tom Williams now joins on loan - works out well, seems though I keep Raynes and don't have to pay anything

niceee

Sam Hewson joins on loan from Man United.

August:

Oldham 0 - 4 Stockport

Bignall 3, Thompson

Brilliant stuff

To beat your rivals is one thing but to thrash em 4 - 0 is even better, thoroughly deserved it, hope it carries on going

Notts Co 2 - 1 Stockport :/ Soley

They deserved it, just about, we played well for the last 20 mins which wasn't enough, we couldn't get the ball off them, but we can still concentrate on the league now

Michael Bridges - Free.

May be old but still not bad

"Animo-Et-Fide" - Stockport County FC - The Next Jimmy Gannon-michael-bridges.png

County 2 - 2 Bristol (Bignall, Hewson)

A game where no team deserved too lose but we cudda won when Bridges went one-on-one.

Danny Whittaker - 22K Oldham - Will never know how this guy was in oldham reserves. great signin

"Animo-Et-Fide" - Stockport County FC - The Next Jimmy Gannon-danny-whitaker.png

County 1 - 1 Carlisle (Hewson)

Don't know how we drew that but a great goal from Hewson maintains our unbeaten record

Brighton 1 - 0 County

A game with not so many chances, Brighton had once good chance and took it, maybe I payed the price for selecting a weekened team.

Stockport 2 - 3 Saints (Baker and Seck)

If Saganowski wasn't playing we wudda won, but 2 defeats in a row now :/

Overview: A decent month but 2 defeats one win and 2 draws isn't bad but could be better, the new signings maybe need to gel together.
