If he had managed say 5 or 6 wins in the last 16 matches it wouldn't be so bad, but 1 win in 16 is hard to accept.To the the supporters of Liam Richardson! How many games do you think he/we will manage to win, out of the last 14?
I think at least 6 wins are required to save us and that's without the other teams at the bottom doing well.:(

Re: Leam Richardson - the worst manager in Stanley's history?
 

3 wins, 3 draws with the wins coming against Barnet and Wimbledon. Job done.

Re: Leam Richardson - the worst manager in Stanley's history?
 

Come Saturdays, any noise from me will be in support of the team. I think it's wrong to boo the team and/or manager on match days as it's difficult enough as it is without that added pressure. If I'm dissatisfied on match days , I don't say anything. That is the way I choose to support the team.

However, I'll repeat my view that Leam is not up to the job at this stage of his career and the club took the cheap option in appointing him, and I'm afraid that through either stubborn loyalty or being unable to afford to release him from his managerial duties, retaining him as manager is increasing our chances of being relegated and if that happens, I think it will be a very long road back, and whilst saving money in the short term, the appointment may cost us dear.

If we do find ourselves relegated and Leam is our manager, lets not make him the scapegoat as in that scenario, the board will have demonstrated little in the way of leadership.

From the remaining fixtures, I can only see us picking up 12 points unless we have a dramatic improvement in form or luck or both. It feels like we need to be marooned at the bottom of the league before the majority realise what a dogfight we're in and are objective about our ability and chances of getting out of it. We're it not for a late Akinfenwa goal, we'd have been in the bottom two tonight and playing catch up.

I'll support my team and my club through thick and thin, however that won't stop me having an opinion on what I think is best for our club.

That's the 12 points Macca, but looking at the points spread in the division, I don't think 44 will be enough this year. And I hope I'm proved wrong

Re: Leam Richardson - the worst manager in Stanley's history?
 

I for one am not "burying my head in the sand" as you so eloquently put it. I am a realist. I realise that the guy is struggling to get results at the moment. My opinion is as valid as yours.... so don't start trying to be-little me or others like me.:mad:


I, like many others on here who have a reasoned opinion... can't see how changing things at this stage will redress the balance or dramatically change the situation.


If you've got all the answers...... then post them on here now. O.K. by YOUR reckoning we sack Leam & do what exactly????. Turn to a former manager (and we all know who) who despite his undoubted proven record working here, might not even want to come back???:confused::confused:

Assuming of course we can afford compensating Leam and financing the return of Coley and Bell????:confused::confused:

So If Coleman (& Bell ) didn't want to take up the position (assuming it did become available ) who do we turn to next for salvation???? And assuming we do sack / relieve Leam of his managerial duties, is the next manager going to suddenly dramatically change things around and steer us clear of the mire???:confused::confused:

Do the club have the funds available to "buy in" (i.e award juicy contracts) to another miracle working manager, assistant and backroom staff?????:confused::confused:

Given that the transfer window has closed (we didn't have money to throw around anyway) and the loan market (in which you can only acquire surplus to requirements players) is about to close....do you really think that a new bloke can suddenly change things so dramatically??? Sir Alex Ferguson would have his work cut out sorting this situation out.:(

Once you've posted your no doubt infallible opinion.....I'm sure that the powers that be within the club, will then follow your answers and instructions to the letter, we'll win the last 14 games and might even scrape the play-offs.:rolleyes:


To me it's a case of put up or shut up. You've been asked numerous times by numerous posters to give us your detailed answers on how YOU would wave YOUR magic wand and whisk Stanley away from the current predicament. Other than your boring...... scratched record, bog-standard retort of "sack Leam" you still dance around the questions and post negative garbage.:mad:

Quite simple really.


Answer the question or don't bother posting any more negative bilge.

Also.... why not try and stop contradicting yourself.......


Hmmm .......when you read the next one of your "constructive" posts from another thread it will just go to show how silly you really look......


Maybe you seem to forget that before the serpent one jumped ship to go to Chesterfield we'd lost four on the bounce????:confused::confused:

Re: Leam Richardson - the worst manager in Stanley's history?
 

I have never said your opinion is not valid, but I am allowed to disagree with it.
The game of football is all about opinions.
Opinions based on facts (results) are worth listening to, and the facts are under Leam our standing in the league has become perilous.
I do hope he turns it around, but the facts say otherwise.
And that is why a new manager is required, to bring about a change to get the team to 50 points.
