In January, Gannon said that the Valiants were "understaffed" and that "the staff are probably under-qualified for the jobs they've been asked to do".

"He's a good lad but he needs to gain a lot more experience and he'll become a better assistant manager as time goes by."

They haven't forgotten you said that mate!
