John Gorman was appointed to help Hessenthaler as the side started the
2004β05 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]
