Gillingham manager Mark Stimson will not punish outspoken striker Mark McCammon

Gillingham boss Mark Stimson
admits he’s unlikely to punish striker Mark McCammon for his recent
open criticism of the way he has been handled.
McCammon, pictured, has not
featured for the Gills since the FA Cup defeat at Accrington
and recently had his name circulated to League 1 clubs.
There has been some interest in the
big striker but Stimson believes location could be an issue.
Stimson said: "I asked if he did the
statement because there were some bits in it I thought ‘that can’t
be Mark talking’ and he did say it was his. I picked up the point
about training with the youth team and I couldn’t see a problem
with it because the team were travelling up to Hartlepool on
Tuesday.
"The youth team were training and so
was Chris Palmer, Luis Cumbers and Danny Jackman – so why can’t
Mark McCammon train?
"He just said to me that he had never
trained with the youth team before in his career and he had worked
for great managers. He thought it was disrespectful.
"We’ll leave it now because it’s
something small and it could be blown out of proportion.
"Mark wants to play football and he
has said he wants to play in League 1. There is a possibility that
there is one interested, but after talking to Mark there might be a
location problem."
