Would anyone care to say what interview this is with Brad and where you can hear it?
At least one agent refused to do business with him, because of his approach to negotiations, before we stopped paying agents' fees (which I also agree with).Don’t think there’s any question we missed out on countless players because of this.
Just bits on Twitter so far I think rather than the full interviewWould anyone care to say what interview this is with Brad and where you can hear it?

It probably won’t be too long before the hate mob turn on Brad and Shannon if they ignore them. They seem to think that they are important, demanding this and that.I hope B & S don't waste any more time trying to pasify the trolls as Mr Comper will require assistance from Mr Scally for some time before he takes over the crucial role of contract negotiations. They will find something else to moan about when he is gone.
They all should all be concentrating on the removal of the scaffolding and refubishment of the Gillingham end safe standing area as this is vital for the progress of the club. I have renewed my season ticket in the hope that the cronic overcrowding in the Gordon Road in the bigger matches will be overcome next season.
Is that Perry character still banned from Priestfield?
I believe we are very lucky to have the Gallinsons at the helm. We`re in good hands. UTG
I’ll start by saying that I think the Gallinsons are a perfect fit for the club. However, and there is a but, we do seem to be in a bit of a honeymoon period. Firstly there seems to be a conception that we only started signing decent players after the Gallinsons came. That mostly seems to be based on their first January transfer window and there’s no doubt at all that those signings got us out of a very deep hole indeed. But it wasn’t that long ago that we were signing players of the calibre of Kyle Dempsey and Jordan Graham. However, I’m still a bit concerned that there is a growing gap between some of the bold statements at the start and where we are now.
I can remember talking about the need to do something about the BMS. That’s now gone so far back as to be only to be considered if we get back to the Championship. There was the big screen that’s disappeared without trace. Even something as simple as TVs in the Medway Stand is “Well we’ve got the TVs but haven’t got around to the cabling”. Both the Summer and January transfer windows have been a bit underwhelming given the noises that came out before. There are of course major pluses like the big boost to the commercial side and the revamped shop. But even on the shop, of course it’s a benefit but it’s led to the closure of the matchday shop on the Gordon Road side of the ground. The food offer is a bit improved but still isn’t back to when it was at its best under Scally. The overall matchday experience is much the same if, like me, you just turn up at the ground to watch a game of football. If you’re a Factory patron, it probably has improved a lot.
I think what I’m saying is that the PR is clearly much improved but the delivery is still a bit patchy. I’m not sure how long the PR will work unless the delivery clearly improves.
Sounds like a good reason to keep Scally involved.Came to a couple of games since the Galinasons took over but his ‘boycott’ remains in place all the while Scally is still involved with the club.
I don’t disagree with you. Just pointing out that they perhaps need to be a bit careful with the scale of their promises. Also there seems to be a bit of ‘thing done in the past’ = bad, ‘same thing done now’ = good. e.g. concert in the Great Hall under Scally ridiculed. Concert in the Great Hall now equals example of excellent US business acumen.Is this Neil Harris' burner account?
I guess there's no pleasing some. Anyone who watched Gillingham at the start of last season knows we were going into the national league. In a touch over *1 year*, we've gone from being relegation fodder to promotion contenders, to having a clear vision and structure for the future. We couldn't sign the likes of Dempsey and Graham near the foot of League Two, right?
There's a wood for the trees issue here.
Brad and Shannon can't do anything about what happened in the past - everything that they have done since has been fantastic. Let's not forget, this club was heading for the graveyard of non-league football without their intervention; Different but as important as Mr Scally's in 1995.
Still no self serv pumps in the FactoryI don’t disagree with you. Just pointing out that they perhaps need to be a bit careful with the scale of their promises.

Well at least he's standing by his 'principles'...his ‘boycott’ remains in place all the while Scally is still involved with the club
Oh!Came to a couple of games since the Galinsons took over
Not sure why you would think that. I am not aware that NH has said anything critical of the Galinsons and I am sure that Brad said a while back that he still had contact with NH, who I don't think ever blamed BG for his sacking.Is this Neil Harris' burner account?
This is bang on for me. With them having a portfolio of interests, it does allow them to put the right people in the right seats rather than try and do everything themselves. I’m sure Scally had other sources of income but there’s no doubt GFC was very much his main source of income.I don't think it is their intention to make the Gills their main income stream or stay quite as long as PS, either.
