2 wins in 22. You don't get more time with that record. He just couldn't get the team winning. Kelly comes in and wins 2 on the bounce.

Let’s give Dunn a bit of credit
There is no saying that those two Games wouldn’t have been wins with Dunn in charge - nobody knows. Dunn bought Rob in and Rob is very much Dunn’s number 2 and speaks very much about how things he’s done are what David did - so let’s give credit to that for just a second

For which we should be grateful. Still don't think Dunn would have turned it round, but who cares. It's all in the past.

Jim Gannon is not working at present. His record is pretty impressive.
2006...Took over at Stockport in February who at the time were bottom of league 2 a whole 9pts adrift taking them to safety.
2007...Top ten finish including a EFL record of 9 consecutive wins without conceding a goal.
2008...Promotion and a Wembley visit.
2009...In the League 1 play off places before the club went into administration and he left.
2015...Returned to the club after a season managing 1874 Northwich in the North West Counties league taking them to the title and the FA Cup second round.
2019... Stockport gain promotion to the National League and win at League 2 Yeovil Town in the FA Cup.
2020...A 2-1 win at League 1 Rochdale in round 2 of the FA Cup.
2021...Sacked as certain players thought he was too much a disciplinarian.
JIM GANNON manager of Barrow. Now there's a thought.

I am a Stockport County fan and would like to offer my congratulations to Barrow upon their achievement this season. Hope to be visiting Holker Street next term with my lot. My last visit was season 1966/67 the year we both won promotion.

I was at the match if I remember correctly you had some tall lads and Barrow applied all sorts of pressure but we lost 1-0 😀 Happy Days

Great interview.

Paul always comes across so positively and I am really looking forward to next season and beyond.

Yes it was 3-0 ,I know it's a age thing but I remember when Northampton got to the First Division riding through all divisions
Yes, I was at that Swindon game. I cycled from Seascale but got stuck in the snow and had to get on the train at Kirby. It was a minor miracle that the game got played. Rogers scored in the 1-1 game the previous season, a last minute equaliser.
Here's the match report from the game in the Saturday football paper and the programme:

The two 1967-68 games can be found here: http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/Result ... =1967-1968 (just click the score - if you change the season to 1968-1969 you can see the other game that season as well).

Well outclassed us there, must have been McMark's Iron ore and Shipbuiders' tea. :)
Good job done, looks like we both go again next Season, also for us now.

Yes. I liked the part when he said, "you aint seen nothing yet from this board".

Frank Lord was our leading scorer 6ft 2. Bill Atkins and Bert Lister backed him up. 2 big lads at the back Matt Woods and Eddie Stuart. Signed big Jim Fryatt later that year.

Some good info on that site. Looks like I was wrong about Rogers scoring in the 1-1 game - I remembered right about it being in the last minute though!
