Andy Mangan
 

Apparently he is on trial with Morecambe FC. My daughter has now changed her allegiance. Aren't girls fickle!!:D

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Have Morecambe signed anyone yet? Are they struggling a bit on the transfer front?

Re: Andy Mangan
 

They must be struggling if they're after Mangy! My money's on him going to Sligo with Danny - after all you can't have Zig without Zag :)

Re: Andy Mangan
 

I fear for Morecambe this season, only one new signing up to now and they have apparently lost Chris "Jesus" Blackburn to Swindon according to BBC Radio Lancs. I don't think Mangy will be enough to kep them up.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Can't say I know much about this lad..other than I understand he has a bit of a temper!

As for signings, Sammy Mc has got at least 4 other targets we are after but he's not prepared to bring in anybody just for the sake of it.

With Jesus probably off to Swindon his replacement will be somebody currently with a league club. Jesus will be missed but as one chapter closes another opens, as you will find when Mullin goes.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

good luck with Mangan and good luck to him.

He's a real character within the dressing room but that appears to be it. Fast little ****** with a decent shot on him but he struggles with any kind of presence and a mobile defender should keep him in check. The most disappointing thing about him is what surely sealed his fate away from here, too gobby for his own good. The chips were down frequently last season and Mangy let us down by getting sent off for nothing. It wasn't just the fact that we then went down to ten men when we had a chance of getting something from the game, but that we consequently lost another member of the squad when we could ill afford to.

When he learns some discipline and when he gets a good run of games (will one come with the other?) then he will start to turn into a good forward, but maybe not at this level.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

as you will find when Mullin goes.[/quote]

Goes where? Chester couldn't get him for cash plus half their squad on deadline day, is because we can hold onto our best player or is it just the old sour grapes again?:confused:

And don't bother mentioning craney or roberts, Mullin is twice the player they are.:cool:

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Mullin will go where and when we want him to. Be it the chippie and back or Sligo Rovers!

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Hey Spud,
You misunderstood my comment about Mullin. I was not implying that he was about to go, what I was implying was that life goes on WHOEVER leaves. Accy will not crumble when he leaves. Just as we wont crumble IF Jesus leaves and he hasn't signed...yet, but it's highly likely.

Life went on after Craney and Roberts went...didn't it?

Re: Andy Mangan
 

I wouldn't worry too much. You lost Crainey and Roberts yet still managed to stay up.

Matthew Blinkhorn and Michael Twiss were always going to be our first choice strike partnership so losing Danny Carlton isn't as big a loss as you may think. Losing Chris Blackburn is a huge loss but one player doesn't make a team and I am confident we will be able to get a suitable replacement. Sammy hasn't made a bad signing yet for us.

If we are after Mangan then I would imagine he will be used as cover for our other strikers.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

..... more like he's the quickest for nipping off to the shop.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Tony Grant is on trial at Chester City according to devachat.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Mangan, One of the nicest people you will ever hope to meet. always smiling.. On the pitch he will be the fastest player you have ever seen. He can run down a ball your best player gave up. I really do mean fast.. He gets sent off for his gob. not for his play. Tape his mouth up and you have a good un.

Mullin. we will lose him sooner than people realise. Look at his age. We won't lose him to another club. He will retire when he has had enough. Every season he comes back is a bonus. Fingers crossed this sin't his last.

Good luck this season Morecambe. I hope you stay up..Honestly.. I like the friendly rivalry. Dont forget.. pics from every club in the league from last season on the fishy stanley web site:)

Re: Andy Mangan
 

As we found last season and continue to find this summer, having targets and landing them are different things. There are teams in L2 with big budgets and many players seem unwilling to join smaller, 'new' boys.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

In that case you are making a good point.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

The context I read it in sounded like you where 'avin a swipe, as it was not the case then no bother.:)

And yes life did and still is going on after the two afore mentioned roof payer-forers.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Best of luck to Mango, whatever he does I say.

It's a shame he hasn't showed the promise he did in his first game for us(Cardiff pre-season) he was on trial and absolutely outstanding.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Wasn't his debut against some non-league team in a pre-season game? Staleybridge rings a bell. :confused:

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Dunno, could've sworn it was cardiff, however I'd had a few and can't remember the score. I do remember he made a few and scored at least 1 poss 2.

It may well have been staleybridge giving trhe ammount of goals scored...

Got me thinking now...:confused:

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Do they realy have a team i thout it was only blackpool what they always talk,t about

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Yep, it was Stalybridge. Here's the mini-report :)

Accrington Stanley

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Does anybody else understand what he's on about??

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Well done that bloke:D.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

:confused::confused::confused:

Re: Andy Mangan
 

I couldn't fault Mangan for his effort and endeavour. Had decent pace and a reasonably fierce shot. Sadly his shot accuracy, his temper and the fact that a half decent centre half could mark the lad out of the game has ultimately led to his exit.
If he is in trial at Morecambe, good luck to the lad ! And the best of luck to Morecambe. The more derbies the better !:):)

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Talking about strikers, what would you all think about the return of this man?

Red Passion Online Message Board - McEvilly told he can leave.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

i'd have a fit Evil back no questions, but it reads a sthough he is less fit than when he went and has certainly made few friends at Wrexham.

Undoubtedly a class player but I believe part of the reason he went was precisely because he didn't get on people and that won't change.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

I'd say thanks but no thanks. He's one player I would certainly not want to see back at Stanley, not a team player at all and they don't call him sick-note at Wrexham for nothing.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Quite agree. I hope Coley was just renewing old acquaintances and nothing more!

Re: Andy Mangan
 

McEvilly certainly has enormous ability and would be great up front in L2. However, time and again he let's himself down by falling out with his colleagues, which in turn creates a bad team spirit. Add to that his lack of fitness and it's not a pretty picture.

I'd have very mixed feelings if he were to return.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

He is exactly the sort of player we need and have never replaced.. I would love to see him back and playing for stanley... Did he put in many or any bad performances for us?

Disspointed to read people focusing on his ability to get on with people of which you have NO first hand knowledge. Better to concentrate on what we do know and what we have seen.. and thats what he can do on the pitch..

I would like to see him back but in all honesty I doubt there is a return for him or many other players... He did good for us on the pitch and we where sorry to see him go... thats reality..

Re: Andy Mangan
 

To be fair, unless you were to hang around the club all the time, very few people would have 'first hand knowledge' of McEvilly's inability to get on with others.

However, using second/third hand knowledge from people who had experience of him at Burscough, Rochdale, Stanley and now Wrexham, it would appear that there is an issue with the bloke.

I agree that on the pitch he would be a major asset, as long as he stayed fit and played at 100%, which is something he didn't do consistantly at Wrexham.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Like KIPAX said he's just what we need. An aggressive striker who can finish. Too many times last season our forwards were pushed off the ball by the big clogging defenders in teams coming for a draw or scoring earlier then sitting behind the ball.....

There wouldnt be any holding me back I'd sign him straight away.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Going off the pictures by Kipax when Leighton was playin before the injury, he kinda reminded me of Evil buildwise - never saw him play though so you guys would have a better idea on this but I was thinking, wouldnt he be able to do the job Evil did that people say we need, but with less of the alleged off the pitch 'attitude' or is Leighton a completely different player altogether?

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Methinks some people on here have short memories with regard to Mr McEvilly, Yes, when he first came to us he was an assett but he degenerated into a totally selfish player who thought he could do it all himself.
Does no-one remember last season at Wrexham when he came on and at first got a good reception from our fans until he bundled both our keeper & the ball into the net at the same time & tried to claim a goal?

Re: Andy Mangan
 

I have to say honestly I was dissapointed when Evil left Stanley. If McEvilly is genuinely available and his fitness is not an issue, then I couldn't see the harm in giving him a short term contract. If Evil then proves his fitness and his "attitude" is not a problem, then he can only enhance what we've already got.He has (in his previous stint here) proved that he can finish and is a physicall and aerial threat and would be another option for Coley.After all, we need strength in depth do we not ? :)

Re: Andy Mangan
 

What's wrong with that? Keepers should be bundled into nets like Nat Lofthouse used to do!
Can't see our new keeper being bundled anywhere.:D

Re: Andy Mangan
 

what short memories? your talking about somehting he did while at another club.. tell me he had a bad game at our club?

there isnt another player who does what he did.. he could scare defenders and you need that in this league.. sorry but as much as i rate paul mullin he doesnt scare defenders does he :) neither does any of our players.

like i say.. mute point i think.. but if there was a chance then yeeeees!

Re: Andy Mangan
 

i rated him well, but needed to keep his temper

Re: Andy Mangan
 

I think we'll have to agree to disagree about this one Kipax - after all football's all about opinions and everyone's entitled to their own :).

Re: Andy Mangan
 

has someone suggested your not allowed an opinion ?

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Short memories Accymad? I think not. When Evil was here he was always a genuine threat to the opposition. I think at times he got a bit hacked off with the antics of the prima donna on the left wing, but I don't think he was the only one and I think most people were genuinely sorry when he left. As Redraine says, what's wrong with upsetting the keeper - especially if it makes him think twice about going for the next ball. Along with others, I'd have a fully-fit Evil back tomorrow - he's big, ,he's aggressive and above all, he wants to win!!

Re: Andy Mangan
 

No of course not - they wouldn't dare :p (Look I'm smiling)

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Well Coley and JB where 100% deffo with evil at the game mentioned on the wrexham forum.. thats deffo... so hmm looking at someone else or in talks with the evil one...

heres hoping it's the latter :)

Re: Andy Mangan
 

lets see if he is in the grand stand at Clitheroe toneet

Re: Andy Mangan
 

if he is, there will be pictures hehehe..


unless he is in disguise.... :)

Re: Andy Mangan
 

All I know about Evil is that he seemed to be scoring just about every week at the end of last season, which was about the last thing we needed when we were trying to stay above the Wrex ...

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Is that likely to be completely successful in his case???

Re: Andy Mangan
 

That took some working out :D

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Well I would forget all about evil playing for stanley again... its deffo a mute point according to everyone connected wiht the club..

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Round the eyes Albert Rimmer (my Atavar) was the spitting image of Harry and Hannah. Without seeing his name caption or even knowing he had played for Stanley I knew he was one of their pro footballer cousins as soon as I first saw his photo about 15 years ago.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

I think it was deffo a mute point with evil too :rolleyes:

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Back to the thread..

And Mangan played for Bury v Alty last night...

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Tried to provide the link to his pic but it doesnt work

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Their tog goes a bit OTT with his sharpening doesn't he

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Its a night match and IIRC he doesnt use RAW so yeagh probably :)

Re: Andy Mangan
 

White halo's are clearly visible in most images, blow them up a bit and you can see it straight away

Re: Andy Mangan
 

It looks like Andy will be playing for the Shakers against Everton on Saturday: Warning over Nugent windfall - Bury - Football - Sport - Manchester Evening News.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

...is to sign a contract with our joint rivals Bury on Monday according to Casper the Bury manager

Like the words 'joint rivals'.....?????

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Details from Bury's site: Mangan agrees terms | Bury | News | Latest News | Latest News. Good luck to Andy. I just hope he doesn't score against us this coming season!

I quite like 'joint rivals'; let's have Droylsden up with us next year!

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Good luck, Andy. This is his make or break season - hope he realises his potential and makes a name for himself!

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Apparently had a blinder for Bury against Everton on Sat. Their press are raving about him !! I agree, that whilst I wish all the best to Mangers, he doesn't score against Stanley. Anyway joint rivals ??? Welcome to the big league Shrimpers !!!!!;);););)

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Mangan agrees terms | Bury | News | Latest News | Latest News


it would seem that Bury are keeping Mangan

Re: Andy Mangan
 

I wish Mangy luck but I'm afraid unless he learns some self discipline it'll be the same story for him all over again.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

I will always remember his dramatic late winner against Wycombe at home and similarly his point salvaging equaliser at Macclesfield and the fleetness of foot he showed when his celebrations were nearly cut short near the dug outs.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Should give us at least an hour against 10-man Bury over the two games :)

Re: Andy Mangan
 

nice one Chimer!

Re: Andy Mangan
 

At Bury Now - - -

Re: Andy Mangan
 

FFS!!!
One more for my ignore list.

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Hear hear - it's enough to put you off - shouldn't be allowed.:mad:

Re: Andy Mangan
 

Good luck to the lad except when he plays Stanley.

Hope he'll be single minded and not allow himself to get side tracked by any red mists.
