Gillingham 2004–05 football season
During the 2004–05 English football season, Gillingham F.C. competed in the Football League Championship .
Season summary [ edit ] John Gorman was appointed to help Hessenthaler as the side started the 2004–05 season poorly, but as the team continued to struggle at the wrong end of the table Hessenthaler resigned as manager in late November. Somewhat unusually he continued to be employed as a player.[1] Gorman succeeded Hessenthaler in a caretaker capacity but left the club to take the manager's job at Wycombe Wanderers .[2] Gillingham then appointed former Burnley boss Stan Ternent as manager,[3] but despite a late run of positive results, he couldn't prevent the Gills' relegation to League One on the last day of the season. In a reversal of the previous season's fortunes, Crewe Alexandra , the team immediately above Gillingham in the table, survived by just one goal.[4]
