As somebody whos worked for the club for a number of years i think i'm qualified to off er an opinion on the current situation.

The club is unique and whoever is given the job needs to get the club and understand it. They need to embrace what we are and accept our poor facilities, no training ground and no money. This is why i feel it needs to be somebody who knows what to expect or they will scarper just like Cookey.

From conversations with Cookey it was quite obvious he wasn't in it for the short haul and Stanley was his way of getting back into english football. I don't think Rob or the board were under any illusion but i think everybody's surprised at the timing and his short stint. What's annoying is he obviously planned for pastures new asap but was allowed to force out good club men like phil Hackney and belittle and release good young prospects! that to me was a sin!

My opinion would be for Leam to be given the job but with experienced bodies around him bring back Asa Hartford and Phil Hackney to the club. They both understand the club Asa would be a great assistant with the nouse to help Leam and contacts to die for! Phill would be a great director of football type and shouldn't have been allowed to leave. Not sure what Phils contract at Morecambe is but he loves the Stanley. Asa's kicking his heels at accy college coaching and scouting for Norwich.

We are in a precarious position and if we get this wrong we could drop like a stone!
