Phil Hackney
 

I heard that Phil Hackney left Stanley yesterday. Sad news if true.:(:(:(

Re: Phil Hackney
 

If true, perhaps he's brassed off with Carver and Hopper being sent out on loan, rather than being given their chance in L2?

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Totally understand what you're saying however is it not better for these young lads to go out and get match experience as opposed to warming the bench or watching from the stand. If this is the reason I find it very strange and rather churlish and probably a more serious under current is the reason but regardless I hope he hasn't gone as he has done a fantastic job

Re: Phil Hackney
 

If hes gone? n that is the reason, Then all i can say is good riddance, Even the likes of "Beckham" were sent out on loan, fer the sole reason of gaining experience. On that basis i doubt very much if thats the reason.:)

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Have any of the conspiracy theorists considered the obvious explanation?

He might have been offered a better job.

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Phil Hackney has done a wonderful job, and regardless of his decision to move on, I think that we should appreciate his important contribution during his time at the club.

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Well respected and knowledgeable coach in youth football.
Was a fa assessor when you took your coaching badges,would have loved him to have had a crack at the first team coaching,but it wasn't to be for whatever reason.
Wouldn't be surprised if he popped up at a prem academy somewhere ,or even at the fa.

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Or Dale :rolleyes:

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Doubt that very much.

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Probably the most ridiculous thing ive ever read on here !!!

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Maybe! What's your take on it then, Smudgie?

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Nothing on the Fishy site?

Sad if true, I think Phil has done amazing job over the last few years and brought some real talent through the academy which has bore fruit for the first team and as I have saiid previously always more exciting for me to watch home grown talent come through the ranks and develop but that's the coaching side of me.

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Tell us what the obvious explanation is and we'll consider it!

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Well its obvious to me,hes just copied part of Thin Monkeys post. So explanation from him may be asking a bit much.:D

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Agree with you Cashy.
Didnt i read it somewhere that the staff took a pay cut?,if so,you couldnt really blame him for seeking an alternative job,top bloke as well .

Re: Phil Hackney
 

:) Phil is still at the club :)

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Well if so,even more good news.:)

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Great night at the Crown great team performance, couple of stand outs Ian Dunbavin super and a mom performance some incredible saves, link up play with Karl & Podge was great and will only get better. Vale may consider themselves unlucky and had some good chances but resolute defending and keeping kept the door shut and the team ethos of hunger, desire and working for each other is there for all to see with Stanley.

I like it:)

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Are we sure Mr Hackney is still at the club?:confused:
Was he at the youth team game?

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Philip hackney has left, he wasn't at the youth game on Saturday ,looks like the young boys done well,2-2 draw with Blackpool

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Will be off to rochaccy them? Remeber job for m8 down road

Re: Phil Hackney
 

Good Luck Phil, really nice bloke who I had the pleasure of dealing with on several occasions has done a great job with the CoE and Academy bringing some very good players through the ranks to the first team.:)

Re: Phil Hackney
 

A true gent and always had time for you,will be greatly missed alround :) Good luck Phil :) ASFC News Story > 4900

Re: Phil Hackney
