Its an exciting time for the Gills after what was a rather dreadful October for the club. He comes with brilliant credentials from a coaching point of view and with recruitment fully the responsibility of Kenny Jackett & Andy Hessenthaler moving forwards, he will be able to fully focus on team matters.
