here it is

James Beattie Leaves Club - Accrington Stanley FCAccrington Stanley FC

Accrington Stanley Football Club and James Beattie have decided to terminate their contract by mutual consent with immediate effect.



James stated: “It is with a hugely heavy heart that I decided to end this journey. I can never fully repay the faith and backing I got from the players, my staff and of course the fans who always gave me 100%.

“I thank them from the bottom of my heart for granting me the opportunity and privilege to be part of your unique club.”

Everyone at Accrington Stanley would like to thank James Beattie for all his efforts during his tenure at the club and wish him and his family all the best for the future.

Assistant manager Paul Stephenson will take interim charge of the team for tomorrow’s home game with AFC Wimbledon.

Re: James Beattie
 

Mark Turner for manager please :)

Re: James Beattie
 

Another one bites the dust...

Re: James Beattie
 

Crikey. Can't say I'm disappointed with the news of Beattie's departure as I don't rate him as a coach/manager at all. However, this is extremely poor timing and I hope the young players can cope. I also hope JC can be brought back but expect that bridge to be burned unfortunately.

Re: James Beattie
 

:eek: Shocked and disappointed :(

Re: James Beattie
 

Nicky hunt manager please with paul stephenson assistant

Re: James Beattie
 

very sad news as liked his attitude - only wished for his sake that his departure saw Stanley better placed to avoid any feeling that he failed - which he hadn't.
Dav007, please spare us the John Coleman stuff - seem to recall him saying on leaving that he had taken Stanley as far as he was capable so no point whatsoever in his return.

Re: James Beattie
 

Shocked, wasn't expecting to read that when I got home.

Re: James Beattie
 

Re: James Beattie
 

Oh he did say that n he had taken us as far as he could, i agree with him, But that changed when he got sacked at Rochdale.:rolleyes:

Re: James Beattie
 

So did he walk or was he pushed?

Re: James Beattie
 

John had taken us as far as he could at the time. However the key point being missed here is that we've been heading backwards (on the field at least) since the moment he left.

Re: James Beattie
 

David Dunn player manager? I wonder.........

Re: James Beattie
 

Proccy for manager?

Re: James Beattie
 

Cheerio

Re: James Beattie
 

If they bring him back come and see me and you can have our two season tickets for free.

Re: James Beattie
 

Thats your opinion n yer entitled too it, mines if he returns i'm history.

Re: James Beattie
 

Has to be Coleman. He took us as far as he could? The play- off's! Id take that wouldn't you?

Seemed that Stephenson was the brains of the operation anyway so don't think too much will change for sat.

Re: James Beattie
 

Maybe he could do a Rochdale and leave us at the bottom of the pile in total disarray.

Re: James Beattie
 

Very sad to see beattie go and in very strange circumstances. If it was the travelling then he would probably have gone at the end of last season. Must have his eye on something else. Exeter possibly. Maybe he's going to be number 3 at Chesterfield.

Don't know who I would like to come in but although I have huge respect for Paul Stephenson, it would only be the cheap option and the wrong option. Flitcroft at chorley may be worth a shot.

At least he didn't leave us bottom of the league.

Re: James Beattie
 

Absolutely stunned. Never expected to read that. Don't know what's behind it but wish him all the best.

Re: James Beattie
 

Not really bothered either way, Not over the moon yet not not dissapointed.

Coleys return would give such a huge feel good factor back on the terraces that could prove invaluable as the season goes on. Accy used to be a fortress

Although on here a shiny new suit and faux professionalism seems to count for more than 3 promotions, numerous cup runs and a play-off berth. Nobody mentions that Accy players have been seen in William Hill in Accy on match days under Beattie's tenure. Recently theres been a lethargy on and off the pitch.

Is a personal grudge with our most successful ever manager really worth deserting the club over?

Although my money is on Stephenson or Flitcroft. Or perhaps Nicky Law from Alfreton....worked wonders on a shoestring to get a club half our size into the Conference.

Re: James Beattie
 

obviously left to look after the rabbit

Re: James Beattie
 

Fans who come and go according to who the manager is arent worth having

Re: James Beattie
 

Good call. Whoever we get in I just don't want to hear "the lads are disappointed/ devastated in there" after every defeat, or constant mentioning of the budget. Of course it's one of the toughest jobs in football - but just get on with it!

Re: James Beattie
 

Does anyone actually know who will be scouting for, sifting cv's and deciding on the new manager?

Re: James Beattie
 

craney's put his cv in

Re: James Beattie
 

Wow..that woke me up good and proper on a Saturday morning over here!! This is a hard one to swallow. I was under the impression all was 'Ye beaut'. I think Mr Beattie has done a fantastic job at Stanley considering he was very much a beginner.
I wish him all the best for his and his families future, and chuck him a big 'THANK YOU'.
This afternoons beers will be raised for him.

Re: James Beattie
 

For it's MOT?

Re: James Beattie
 

Spot on Macca-another pearl of wisdom.;)

Re: James Beattie
 

It'll pass if John and Jimmy are the mechanics

Re: James Beattie
 

You can bet on that ;)

Re: James Beattie
 

we have once again seen the real chubbyman

what kind of a fan stops supporting the team if the manager is not their choice.

disgraceful

Re: James Beattie
 

How many matches did you go to last season,I only missed 2 away games...so who's the supporter......you were invited to meet me and I'd tell you the reason but as ever you didn't show,it's not any manager but one manager with good reason and i'm getting cramp in my ventriloquists finger waiting to tickle your fancy......see you Saturday and it's your turn to wear the red dress.

Re: James Beattie
 

so the ammount of games you go to equates to how much of a fan you are?

there is no point in trying to defend what you have said, Im dissapointed.

Re: James Beattie
 

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
I am in TOTAL SHOCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek:
What is going on at our beloved club?:sad8::sad8:

Well, there are likely to be all sorts of theories about the reasons for JB departing......................................... ...
but............................................... .....
WE ARE ACCRINGTON STANLEY.:theband:
THE CLUB THAT WOULD NOT DIE !!!!!:wave8:
GOOD LUCK AND THANKS TO JB......
Whatever the reasons? ...................
Whoever takes over? ......................
Just remember................................
WE ARE ACCRINGTON STANLEY!!!!..... and we prove the world wrong!!!!!!
We will go on............Against all the odds............
and we will continue to write HISTORY:alright:

ON STANLEY ON:alright:

WE THE FANS DON'T MAKE THE DECISIONS.....................
BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE CLUB THROUGH THICK AND THIN!!!!:theband:

ON STANLEY ON !!!!!!!:wave8:

Re: James Beattie
 

I'm not trying to defend what I have said, I stand by it 100%,but you criticise anyone that dare question your adoration for JC & JB.... I respect what they achieved for Accy on the pitch it's other happenings that I find I would rather they were not at this club.....You question me as a fan but I strive to get too every single game whether it be a friendly,league, cup or whatever.Most Saturdays I play golf for 4 hours and I still got to the Cheltenham game did you? I'll be at Oxford Tuesday evening will you?No transport...i'll give you a free lift,so get off your ass and support the team properly instead of bitching away on the Accy Web.

Re: James Beattie
 

stop avoiding what you said.

Re: James Beattie
 

I do wish you two would stop blocking up every thread with your pointless bickering.

Re: James Beattie
 

I wasn't a great admirer at the outset but I've warmed to Bettie over the months; like any manager at the Mighty Stanley they come, most do good things and then they go. I am sorry it didn't work out for James and I hope whatever he does it brings him good things. This is the guy that put his hand in his own pocket to bail the club out and I hope he got his money back before whatever it is happened.

For the future I just hope whoever does come in can hack it in a world where the money doesn't pour from golden goblets.

If JC came back I wouldn't be displeased; but at the same time going back seldom works out for the best, but let's honour those that have got us where we are instead of digging up the normal crock of ****e.

Names and wish list get bounded about but any one serious about coming to manage Stanley is surely running against the wind. Let's just hope theirs a bloke out there that can take us forward and keep moving us forward.

Re: James Beattie
 

Three words - pot, kettle, black!

Re: James Beattie
 

Still in shock but Luke Joyce's statement on fishy site says it all - whatever's gone on behind the scenes, everyone needs to pull together now more than ever.
3 points tomorrow is vital in more ways than one

Re: James Beattie
 

A certain someone has been in touch to say he or she has heard the player out movements this week where not fully endorsed by Beattie.
Did it have any bearing on him leaving?

If Beattie shows up as Blackpool manager in the near future, can Stanley get any compo?

Re: James Beattie
 

Totally agree with you ACCYMAD.....
all the more reason to shout louder, sing louder and get even more behind the team on the field tomorrow....
Deffo the best remedy in a situation like this is to go out and get those THREE POINTS.......(as usual against all the odds!)
ON STANLEY ON:alright:

Re: James Beattie
 

DAV you are such a schemer!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I have an accident will you be my lawyer?

Re: James Beattie
 

Leeds? We outplayed them for large periods of the game.......maybe they were impressed .

Re: James Beattie
 

How the hell can Stanley get compo? Club says mutual agreement.:rolleyes: unless that means summat different to davo.:rolleyes:

Re: James Beattie
 

We've gone backwards since. Shaker is right..that's the key. Coleman is God.

Re: James Beattie
 

Don't want disruption at the club but something has obviously happened and totally shocked me this evening however WE ARE STANLEY and whatever we will come through it 2-0 tomorrow cos the lads have pride in their shirts and sod the manager WE ARE ACCRINGTON STANLEY!

Re: James Beattie
 

I hope it all works out and you get a manager in that will help you stay up and move up the table.
When I heard he had gone my first thought was he's on his way to Blackpool. Only time will tell.

Maybe a left field possibility for you what about Brett Ormerod?

Re: James Beattie
 

Could well have been the straw that broke the camel's back. It was always going to happen sooner or later - sooner better than later to re-appoint and re-group.

Re: James Beattie
 

Blackpool job was mentioned to me last night as well:(

Re: James Beattie
 

If true, Beatts would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire if you ask me - they're in a right mess one way & another

Re: James Beattie
 

Despite how difficult the manager's job at our club is with all the financial restrictions, lack of facilities, etc, right now, it's a cake walk in comparison to the Blackpool job. Must be mad if he walks into that lunacy.

Re: James Beattie
 

Plus if he has been tapped up by Blackpool all this mutual consent crap will leave a sour taste.

NO COMPO.

also if them 3 left against his wishes, almost certainly because of money, why bring proccy in? must be on a fair bit.

Re: James Beattie
 

Good luck James what we need now is a sensible appointment who knows how to work with no money maybe Paul Stephenson should be given a crack if he want,s it. But who ever get,s the job none of them are bigger than our club it,s the club that counts and the loyal band of follower,s lets get 3 points against the wombles.

Re: James Beattie
 

Ho hum, just another day at Stanley. After 54 years of following 'em, nothing shocks me anymore. Let's just trash the Wombles and worry about the rest later!

Re: James Beattie
 

Beattie favourite for Leeds job

Re: James Beattie
 

If he has gone to pursue a job higher up the leagues, then the mutual consent thing would totally follow Stanley philosophy of not standing in the way of staff improving themselves. I don't think we can bear any grudge since this guy put his hand in his pocket for us in our time of need.

Re: James Beattie
 

Odds have plummeted across the board on the arrival of JC as next permanent manager. I know that when they (John and Jimmy) joined Sligo it was on rolling contracts. With he season finishing in the next couple of months, if their contract situation was the same, compensation wouldn't be an issue.

Re: James Beattie
 

Still quite like the idea of the Alfreton manager joining us. I hear quite a bit about the conference as I live near Lincoln. By all accounts Alfreton have been punching above their weight for some time and the manager has done wonders with a tiny budget.

Re: James Beattie
 

Re: James Beattie
 

If people want Coleman back sitting on the wall like Humty Dumty swearing at linesman and 4th official and wondering why decisions go against us you are welcome not for me thanks

Re: James Beattie
 

Love it !!......

Re: James Beattie
 

What's happening guys.

Where's he going ?

Who is coming ?

Re: James Beattie
 

Bentley to Blackpool. Beattie to Leeds. Coleman to Stanley. Derek Quinn to Morecambe.

Re: James Beattie
 

Nobody in their right mind would go to Blackpool normally and Jim won't go now we have this Chinese investment and a bigger budget.

I wondered if Oyston wanted Beattie as Riga's assistant to appease the fans. He would hate paying Riga his 1 year rolling contract to get rid.

Re: James Beattie
 

I know that I am not the only one to have felt , and stated that JBs tenure at ASFC would be of a temporary rather than more protracted one, so I was not at all surprised to hear of his departure. I guess that the Chairman and Board must have shared this opinion and have, hopefully,acted accordingly !.
As to his successor ?. Well one can only smile at the rapidity exhibited in this thread by those who always appear to know the immediate solution to any problem which confronts our Club. But why should I spoil their fun ?...
At the risk of annoying Accymad though, I am surprised that no one has suggested the possibility that managing Accrington Stanley could well have brought about disturbing repercussions in the...shall we say?..more romantic side of JBs existence, and perhaps Mrs B has presented him with the sort of scenario which one associates with Corrie and other Soap Operas. Where a wife accuses her better half of loving someone or something more than the love which she has to offer. Culminating in the phrase 'It's either me or them !'.
The scene ends with the Husband...knowing which side his bread is buttered on?..submitting to wifely charms and doing the right thing !....but I digress !.
Anyway, today the sun is going to shine on The Crown, ooops !...the SF Stadium,I'll be there,
Mab will pass some gossip along to me, Chubbyman ( Dav007 all forgotten !) will be there,
FA19 will fill me in with all the tactical machinations going on..which I can seldom get my head around anyway !....the ' get it up t'field 'lads will be in good voice.....BC and I will be annoying the visiting Directors sat next to us ..The best Centre Back in League 2 will be keeping Matt Tubbs subdued......and we'll all be giving the team the support they deserve !!...
Both Alfred.E. and I repeat ...'Worry ?.....what worry ??'.

Re: James Beattie
 

Jc and jb are in the directors box!!

Re: James Beattie
 

Hope they've paid to get in!

Re: James Beattie
 

and are shown the door after......give Stevo the chance if he wants the job!!!

Re: James Beattie
 

Well done you mighty men in red.

Re: James Beattie
 

Nobody wants the Leeds Job maybe Beattie is the "YES man" for that Job. aAs for Blackpool it's another Pompey suitation one of their board has taken alot of money out their club to their home country which is madness and proves foreigners should be in the background of the english game, Even after rumors yesterday of Coleman being at your Match i still wouldn't wish him on you all your club deserves somebody far better in that Management seat.

UP THE DALE

Re: James Beattie
 

There was mention on the 606 forum of Beattie being in the running for the Scunthorpe job. Scunthorpe fans expect their manager to be gone if the results don't improve.

Re: James Beattie
 

beattie was sacked. didnt leave on his own. wont get a job easily with the truth gradually coming out. possible football league investigation coming as well

Re: James Beattie
 

This has totally confused me :confused: Surely Bumble never played for Rishton :)

Re: James Beattie
 

Chubbyman,
Are you going to start spreading rumours about your boyfriend Beattie or do you only throw mud at scousers?

Re: James Beattie
 

Heard a few things about Beattie but they're speculation at the moment,so before I comment I need to know it's fact.What i've said about your friends is FACT.... and I don't throw mud at scousers,in fact I like them and have many scouse friends except if they're called DAV.....some good news for you and bad news for me is i've been told it's a done deal with Coley and the announcement is imminent,after the next game.

Re: James Beattie
 

If that's true, I will buy you a celebration pint and will look forward to receiving your season ticket.

But seriously, if you know something to be true, you should say it in public, rumours don't help anyone.

And would the person who keeps texting me the beattie info stop as I have requested, I don't want to know anymore.

Re: James Beattie
 

I have offered to meet you face to face many a time and tell you what FACTS I knew,but you have never taken up the offer.
You are more than welcome to my season tickets as promised,I hope the stewards on the gate accept a paper bag full of carbon..... OXFORD Tuesday?

Re: James Beattie
 

Not what I hear Chubbyman ............. Hold on to your ticket for now!

Re: James Beattie
 

Why doesn't DAV always tell the truth?

Re: James Beattie
 

Is this not usually the point where the Moderator locks the thread ???

Re: James Beattie
 

Not been asked to and been moaned at for being too sentitive!!

Please report a post IF you feel it merits it!!

Re: James Beattie
 

Rumours like this dont help, and seeing as you joined the forum today I am guessing this is just another Dav007 alter ego

Re: James Beattie
 

Well done sherlock,
its clearly me.

There is nothing I enjoy more than opening new accounts and pretending to be somebody else.

Tonight Matthew, im going to be rishtonbumble...

Re: James Beattie
 

I' ve took DAVS advice and done my research....I've discovered Rishtonbumble is a raging queen with a Scouse accent and a penchant for ex-footballers with the same accent and a bent nose!!!

Re: James Beattie
 

I think you might want to get some of this "banned substance" works a treat

Re: James Beattie
 

Good idea, might flamin need it with them two in charge again!:rolleyes:

Re: James Beattie
 

So where do we go from here Cashy?

Re: James Beattie
 

Bye bye

Does cashman need the directions to his beloved Blackburn rovers?
