Gills to fight for Jepson
09 Mar 2007 - 10:32:22
Gillingham chairman Paul Scally has warned Huddersfield Town that manager Ronnie Jepson won't be prised away from the Priestfield cheaply.
The managerless West Yorkshire club have already placed on record their desire to lure Jepson - a former Terriers stalwart - back to the club to replace the sacked Peter Jackson.
But Scally claims Jepson won't be allowed to walk away from his commitments with the Kent club without a fight.
"I have never been of the view that you should force someone to work for you," he said.
"But I do believe in loyalty and if you have a contract you should honour it.
"If it isn't suitable for us to release someone from their deal then I wouldn't do it but them I wouldn't stand in the way of someone who wasn't happy here."
