Hallelujah! - Thank goodness that's sorted - it's a relief to all but as others have said, the rest of the situation needs to come to a conclusion as soon as, we can't go on lurching from one crisis to another which we will as long as the Whalley/O'Neil debacle is allowed to continue

Re: Coley & Jimmy Demand Contract Resolution
 

Thank Christ for that.

Re: Coley & Jimmy Demand Contract Resolution
 

The contracts haven't actually been signed yet. I'll be a lot happier when they have.

Is it them or is there something we don't know?

Great news and a very long contract, that is even better news!!!!

Re: Coley & Jimmy Demand Contract Resolution
 

I have in recent years (first 2 seasons in fl)had some concerns as to whether coley was being to loyal to some players and carrying them thus admittedly asking myself if he was cut out for this level. Im glad to say when he fixed my concerns he and his team have excelled. When you realise what budgets are available, resources etc you realise (and all the football league are starting to) what a great management partnership messrs coleman and bell really are. The loyalty they have shown is scarse in the modern football world and I praise them for showing such. I do think they have been hidden under the radar for a long while though as to what a brilliant job they have done over the years and I am really suprised no big boys have took a gamble on them. I remember when mk dons went up and ince got the rovers job and saying to my mate that coley had a better managerial record and experience and that he would of walked that league with the resources ince had and he said but ince played pro footie at the top level and internationally which we had an argument over as to what attributes to a good football manager. But i think that may be the reason theyve been kept at arms reach for now. Long may the management continue but I think it may only be a matter of time (1 more promotion) before the 'big boys' come knocking.
Just to add the footie Ive seen so far this season is the best Ive ever seen stanley play.

Re: Coley & Jimmy Demand Contract Resolution
 

I'll keep on saying it, he's not signed yet...

...and it would appear that Lincoln aren't giving up so easily...

LINCOLN CITY remain undeterred in their pursuit of Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman as the race to succeed Chris Sutton developed another fascinating twist. :eek:

John Coleman is, from what we see every Saturday, read, and hear in his interviews, an intelligent if not intellectual Man, who is extremely successful in his chosen profession.
With these attributes in mind, it is not unreasonable to assume that Clubs other than Accrington Stanley would strongly desire to have him at the helm of their particular ship,and if their allure to John be it size, status, challenge, or in these days where it increasingly matters, the Monthly Cheque, was strong enough, he like so many Football Managers before him, could in no way be blamed for following his ambition.
So, in spite of hastily presented contracts, and the assured admiration of all the fans at our Club, with the spectre of Lincoln City still lurking in the wings, we will not have to appear too disappointed when the inevitable happens. After all, which one of us in John's current situation would not give a positive move to a 'better' Club more than serious consideration ?.
Having said all that.....COLEY...DON'T GO !!
