Maybe it is, but I'll tell you this for a FACT. After our last game of the season one James Gannon popped up outside the doors of the Armoury public house which is a well known haunt for County fans post match. A number of County fans (myself included) went outside to speak to him. One fan raised a question as to whether he was going to be Oldham's next manager. I won't tell you the response as I wouldn't want you to be against him from the off if he did turn up to be your next gaffer, save to say that there was an f word involved and there was little doubt as to his feelings on that subject. When the inevitable question came about County, he raised his eyebrows, smiled and said "couldn't say".
He could have been lying of course to keep us all on side but the thing with Jim is, he doesn't really do lies, in fact quite the opposite; which is often to his detriment.
