Rochdale arnt that great of a club and i always will think we could of tried to at least fight for him.

It has been painfully obvious for some time that, even with Ilyas's backing, we don't have the resources to match Coley's ambitions, unfortunately.

Correct, but where have the promises gone, especially at looking at a new ground. Things like that add up..

Even when they made noises about the new ground I think 2015 was the earliest they said it would happen.

Re: The King is gone = new management, who?

After watching JC,s interview on ssn I got the impression it was as big a choker for him as it was for us and I don,t think he took the decision lightly he as good as admitted it got him wondering if he was doing the right thing when everybody at the crown was in tears when him and Jimmy resigned yesterday.

Agree both of em will have been upset i bet,end of the day,we have arguably the worst facilities/smallest fanbase in the league n thats before cash comes into the equasion, so hard as it musta been, i understand the logic, aint over the moon but life goes on, Hope they keep Rochdale in Div 1, I reckon in another 50 yrs or so,when someone writes another "History Of Stanley" Coley n Jimmy will be No1 in that book.

The fact that a club of Rochdale's relatively modest means DOES have the resources to match Coley's ambitions in comparison to us is a telling reflection on our predicament.

Re: The King is gone = new management, who?

Coley and Jimmy had success and promotions in abundance, they also stayed here when they could easily have moved elsewhere. I am betting that they were very well remunerated for that and it could well be a saving grace that a new manager comes in on LESS money than what they earned. That, plus a windfall of compensation could well be a catalyst for the rest of this season or maybe next season.

We've been led to believe that the club is solvent again and operating reasonably within its means. If that is the case then we stand to make a profit now innit!!!

Maybe working towards being solvent as opposed to travelling to the high court would be a better description. Can't imagine staff cuts suggests it is paying for itself yet, probably somewhere close though

Re: The King is gone = new management, who?

good luck to Leam and Bryan a thousand league games between them so give em the job until the end of the season let them set their stall out

I have a feeling it could turn into a POSITIVE

Remember Bury last season they lost Knill/Brass and the youth team manager took over and took them up!

At Sligo he has caused the board to stretch their budget, even paying the players under the table.
As for his commitment, the day after our manager departed Cook was the first person to enquire for the job. He basically prostituted himself for the job and we said a simple no for the kind of person he is and the arrogance he showed towards us in the league when things weren't going well on his end.

He is best to avoid. Sligo fans think they can match our budget with half the gate income, sponsorship, everything really. He will stretch your budget completely and you will find yourself in trouble when things are not going well.

Cook has always worked within budgets but has challenged the board to increase these budgets. This has been done sufficiently to provide a quality squad, but a very small one as we don't have the money Shams have. The club is in the black and Cook gets the very best from what he has.
As for wanting to manage Shams - he's had better offers.

He may or may not be the man for Stanley, hopefully not, but if you decide to take a chance on him and the football is anything like we've been watching for the last few seasons, then you're in for a treat - with or without trophies.

In any case, best of luck with the appointment, whoever it might be.

Re: The King is gone = new management, who?

I believe Ronnie Moore has submitted his CV to the club.

I personally wouldnt mind Leam taking the role until the end of the season. Give him the option to sign at the end. The lads support him and he has extensive league knowledge.
