Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

2 way tie for the job between richie barker and john coleman, looking at the timing if it was to be barker we would have had it done and dusted by now, so the money is on coleman.
on a sidenote coleman was 33/1 last nyte with the boookies, he's now dropped down to 10's.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Can't help but feel that may have been a factor, along with our poor away form, in our defeat on Sunday :(

He deserves the job, but do many Bury fans like him?

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Hmmm, probably nothing to do with it, but i felt John Colemans body language didn't look right during the match on Friday night. He just seemed to be stood there impassively. at least on the occasions the Sky cameras showed him anyway.

To be fair though, his after match interview was vintage Coleman and he looked and sounded like a man on a mission.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

We keep on trundling through these threads year after year; everyone wants our John. This time there's a little bit of distance in John's eyes when you see him on local news or at the games coverage. The wages diabolical, club finances (we had another CCJ last week recorded for May) and the battling over ownership of the club must have left a scar or two. Would he go, I wouldn't blame him or hold it against him, I wouldn't be surprised if he did take a more stable offer. We all know he loves the club and the fans but there is a line in everyman's life; he loves the lads and he would no doubt take some with him. Stanley till he dies, no, that's our cross to carry. I have more important things to ask for in life; but if I could ask anything from John Colman; it would be to stay long enough to lead us up into the Championship.

I would ask the club to make no more promises or talk of pipe dreams; just give John Colman everything he asks for and the rest will be added to that eternal history of the Club that wouldn't die. Accrington Stanley.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

since 1999 Bury have had 7 managers, Stanley have had 1. Not sure stable is the right choice of word but I know what you mean ;)

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Now is not the right time:(

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Yes Dave; :) but if they had a John Coleman back in 1999 he would have been still there and we wouldn't be here. :eek: So if he went and joined Bury next month and worked the same magic that he has here he would have at least 12 years and a chance at the top level. :o

I am drinking; and I sincerely hope we are just churning mud here.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

No it's not. but the pain won't be any less later.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Not saying it won't Doug but any focus away from Friday is not good in my book.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

I hear you.....On, Stanley On!

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Dear John (hang on thats a letter you write when someone is leaving)


Dear Sir (hang on, not quite formal enough)


Dear Sir John,

Please consider that you have upset lots of Bury fans over the years with your frequent comments (usually when they've beaten us) that "they are no better than us". These said fans will no doubt be on your case if you fail to win the first game by more than four clear goals. They will try to hound you out of your job if you are not top of the league by October.

Therefore I implore you wait another few days and then apply for the West Ham job. The fans there are much nicer as they are forever blowing bubbles down Green St. Even that other nice man Mr Grant was never hounded, and he was crap. A lot crap in fact.

Yours etc


macca


PS If and when you do leave could you please go somewhere with a few bob in the bank and make frequent visits back to us to pay lots of quids for the players we dont want (it'll give you a bigger kitty for when we welcome you back with open arms).

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

:( I'm with you on this Google Page Ranking !!!:( Not the right time at all,we've a massive game on friday and need JC to be focused on the game not this:(

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Friday counts,sod all else right now, if after that Old Trafford counts, if it don't then i may concern meself about a thread,that was started by a BURY fan. then its que sera simple as.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

I think you're doing him a diservice there Mab. Coley is hardly going to be distracted by some drivel on here

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Your right Dave and cashy:)just wish these storys would stop popping up at this moment in time:)

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Actually Id be happy if next season we stay up so a manager coming in wont be under immense pressure. Of course I want to see Bury improving which we have and as long as a new manager improves things year on year Im happy and wont get on anyones back.

As for Coleman he would be an ideal manager for us.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

it will be interesting to see if Coley does a goodbye-type response if we get beat tommorrow

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Good old Coley!

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Ryan Lowe on sky seems to think hes on his way somewhere but does he know something we dont.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

To be fair. If he is going anywhere It wouldn't be Bury. But if he did I hope he gets rid of Bishop and the stupid money he is on.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

I think your being nieve if you think he wouldnt join Bury but to be honest I wouldnt want Coleman. Danny Wilson would be my choice.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

I appreciate your a lot of bigger club. But its not a HUGE step up. He would be more suited to the likes of Scunthorpe.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

I personally don't want Coleman as our new manager at all and hope he remains at stanley for a long time to come.

Tonight's match was dire! but good luck stanley next season and i hope you can get more through the gate next season to help the finances!

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Good try mate but Knill going was a god send LOL!!!!

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Knill had a good record mate. I think he was a decent manager. Just paid OTT wages for the likes of Bishop lol.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

I dont think a fit Bish would have been overpriced but whose got a crystal ball mate?

Apparently hes feeling good and back in training for next season and hes had some terrible bad luck over the last 2 years so I just hope the lad can come back and do something.

As for Knill I do think he was a good manager but facts are hes still not achieved a promotion and if hed stayed would we have gone straight up.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Coleman 2nd favourite for the Bury job, have they officially approached the club to speak to him?
Can anyone confirm it is the 4 year contract buy out putting them off the same way it did with Bradford and Lincoln? (thats what I have been told)

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

aint got a clue if its that, but if its the case, gotta be a good thing fer the club.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

It states in Jimmy Bell's column in the Telegraph today that they are going nowhere and there have been no approaches by Bury

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Woop! :)

No offense intended

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

according to Judas's Mouthpiece in the Mirror, Graham Alexander is being touted as player-manager.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Barker now appointed as Bury manager

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Seems a sensible appointment.

Now that Bury's out of the way, will JC be linked with the upcoming Rochdale job? Over here in Yorkshire all the 'lower' league football talk is that Keith Hill will be appointed as Barnsley manager later today.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Was on the BBC news yesterday morning that apparently he had changed his mind after turning it down last week.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

It was on BBC Look North this morning that Barnsley were announcing it officially at Noon today! Typical football story... it's never a straight tale :D

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Barnsley website they will be making an announcement at 12 noon today regarding the manager. wonder who it is ? :D

West Ham also appointed BFS so thats another one off the list :)

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

yeh but chelseas still available.:D:rolleyes:

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Thinking about it, Rochdale would be the right move for JC. It would definitely be the step up he's obviously hungry for, and although expectations exist, they aren't so unrealistic that he'd be in immediate danger of being sacked if things didn't go well from the start.

Added to this, Hill has taken almost all his staff with him, so any incoming manager would be able to install their own crew as well.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Agreed. I suppose the only possible stumbling block for them would be the compensation package due to us. Have they received anything from Barnsley for Hill?

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

coleman is one of the preferred candidates with the rochdale fans.

watch this space.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

most of them fancy an insider for the job, but i can't remember his name. Not Flitcroft, t'uther one?

But then tonights Observer has the Rochdale chairman quoting that they are unlikely to go for an untried inexperienced manager this time (a la Hill) as they 'have moved on as a club and need someone better'

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Apparently they've received sufficient compensation move for Coleman and probably go for McConville, Procter and Ryan at the same time.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Four is being greedy - just one of those would be brilliant.:D

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

apparently is a word wi little substance, have yeh got a "Link" to post confirming the facts?:confused:

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

whats with this latest trend for wanting sources for everything? Can we go back to being able to just make things up if we want?

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

It does make a mockery of what an internet forum is all about if people only want facts :D

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

C'mon, Macca, we're better than journalists.

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

in the sense that we care what happens or the truth happens to be!

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

I can show you the facebook conversation... but it is just a rumour unless you want me to see if someone can break into Rochdale and steal meeting minutes!

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Rumour is Coley left this afternoon.






























Oh hang on, it's not a rumour I saw him leaving the office about 4ish this afternoon

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Ohhhhhhhhh, how we laughed:rolleyes:

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

He's on holiday so he won't of gone anywhere !!!

Re: Coleman in frame for shakers job
 

Funny Holiday that ;):)
