James Rowe - Manager
D.O.B. - - Ipswich
Promising young manager in his first job. James was appointed Gloucester City manager on November 20th 2019.
It took a while for James to get things working his way and up to the end of the curtailed 2019/20 season his record was pretty bad, losing nine of the fourteen games played including a 1-6 defeat at Alfreton where there were calls for him to be sacked!
However the following season was a different story despite losing the opening game at Christchurch on penalties in the FA Cup. He took the team to the top of the league. Results wise James was the best manager the club has ever had and during his short spell at the helm was able to attract the calibre of player who would take the club to their highest ever league position, atop the National League North.
However, he proved himself difficult to deal with off of the pitch and after being given notice of termination by the club had no hesitation in accepting an offer from Chesterfield when they were looking for a new manager. Sadly he was able to tempt several of City's players to follow him there.
His City record was P25 W10 D5 L9 f40 a39.
More controversy followed at Chesterfield and he was relieved of his duties before ending up at AFC Fylde. Upon his return to City with the pointless Blackpool club the crowd spent more time goading him than watching the Tigers win 1-0 and it led to James writing a letter of complaint to the club afterwards!
