Pretty sure they have had an interview or two !!

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Ithe way a rochdale fan told me , they where entitled to a years pay if sacked, but as they where placed on a sort of gardening leave, rochdale where hopeful they would get itchy feet, take another job and rochdale wouldnt have to pay them out for a full year thus saving cash?

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

I pretty sure if an offer came along they would jump at it,they are football people thro and thro,and still haven't reached there potential IMO

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

no respest whatsoever from me . When did coleman bell and cook show any respect to anyone

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

I think that they'll be interested in the Macclesfield job and Macc' would like them to take it. A decent club/set up, the challenge of getting Macclesfield out of the most difficult league to escape from and not too far from their homes will suit them.

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

The performance in the first half was woeful but for some great saves by Rachubka. The second half we improved as the game went on and started to ask questions of their defence. The goal scored yesterday may well be the most important one of the season as it keeps our fate in our own hands.

Make no mistake though, if we start the Morecambe game like we did against York, we will not get away with it on Friday. We have to be on the front foot from the start on Friday, if we can get 3 points then we are piling all the pressure on our rivals. We really missed Linganzi in midfield and I hope he is back for the next game.

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Great feeling when the goal went in especially for Murphy who'd been battered by Cresswell (elbow) and by their fans (verbally), and as we all know results are all that matter at this stage. How often have we played well and not got we deserved?!?!

For the record as its been discussed in this thread IMO Leam is hopeless, accommodating Beattie, who sadly now is also hopeless, his team selection are bizarre and substitutions are clueless. For those that didn't make the game don't take any notice of Leams 'we dominated the 2nd half' or the 'experts' on this forum who suggested we 'got a foothold in the game' in the 2nd half - we were dreadful from start to finish and got a lucky(also beautiful, uplifting and priceless) goal.

Think it will go to the wire but what a party it will be WHEN we stay up.

Ps hope the board look at the big picture and appoint an experienced manager whatever the outcome of the final 3 games

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Sorry Frank, but whatever the results of the final 3 games, I cannot see Stanley getting rid of Leam as they cannot afford to pay off the remainder of his contract. Whether they can appoint an assistant who is experienced well that is something else. I too hope Armine Linganzi can make it back for this Friday, that gentleman has got the respect of the whole team and fans for playing against Wycombe and Burton prior to the funeral of his brother and here's hoping he can terrorise Morecambe.

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Whilst i agree wi the game yesterday frank, disagree strongly about yer leam opinion. Yeh have been against him fer a couple of months at the very least,He took oer a side that was slipping down under snake, n deserves at least a chance to commence next term wi ALL his own choices, I aint saying hes arsene wenger, but he deserves a chance wi a straight start. also weres this brass coming from to install n experienced manager? or are yeh gonna put it up?

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

"IN LEAM I TRUST" At York on Saturday James Beattie had his best game. Just think back when LEAM took over look what players that snake COOK left . We did dominate the second half for gods sake they had over 4,000 fans screaming abuse at our team . We had HUNT and LINGANZI missing two key players . From now to the end of the season "GET BEHIND THE TEAM " LEAM IS STILL LEARNING GET BEHIND HIM IVE CRITICIZED HIM BEFORE NOW, I MADE MY POINT. ON STANLEY ON

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Thats what makes this forum so interesting,different opinions,good debate by passionate fans,but with the same goal (wanting the best for Accrington Stanley).
Just a few points on your post Frank,totally agree about Murph,heart the size of Liverpool.
Bizarre team selections --- 3wins,2draws,1defeat,under extreem pressure,what would you have done differently?(thats not being patronising,just interested.)
Foothold in the game --- didnt say we dominated,but stemmed the tide,which in my opinion was due to tactical changes,how did you see it??
Experienced manager --- I presume he would be out of work,possibly due to past failures ??,cant see us paying compo,why would they be a success on a "probably" less budget?
IMHO managers tend to bring players with them(numerous instants),and i really cant fault any of leams choices,and will his connections,it will be interesting in summer.
Bringing in Hughes,Hunt,Jeffers,Wilson,Beattie,Rab,Aldred etc...,surely thats not bizarre,indeed,i have have known about Aldred from his Blackburn junior days,and admit,was unsure,how wrong was I,and how right was Leam.
One thing I do know,is he has created a fantastic team spirit,and made a few lads even better players,Moly and Hatfield spring to mind.
Like someone else mentioned,judge Leam,when he has had a full pre-season,until then,its a little matter of beating Morecambe !! KTF

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Cant believe i missed out Linganzi out of my post !!!,un-tried at this level,another bit of credit to Leam :)

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

With the players Leam has acquired since taking charge, I am really looking forward to seeing the squad he assembles fer next season. Its obvious to all but the painfully dense, our better uns are likely to be poached pre-season,sod all we can do, that will always be the case.

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Absolute TOSH!

Leam has my vote of confidence. Who ever it was that took over from The Snake, had a huge job on their hands and Leam, with the limited resources he's had at his disposal and little experience has done a great job, he's got the club at heart.

Lets all look ahead to next season whatever happens and give Leam and the cub our full backing.

Keep The Faith, On Stanley ON!!:mosher:
