No it wasn't, Coleman gave youth players who where good enough a chance.

It's nice that we have taken time on this thread to expose all the negative Coleman myths

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

All our younger players were snubbed but there were an awful lot of Liverpudlians in the squad, the dinosaur tactics didn't work in either League 1 or league 2, If we hadn't brought back Hill we'd probably of been fighting relegation in League 2 or worse, He were sussed by every team we had played in both League's

Stick to watching Rochdale I,ve always hated going there so to probaly did John and Jimmy don,t forget to wave when one day we pass you.

Bobby Grant, Chris Turner, Peter Murphy were successful youth products

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

I have told you before, go back to your slum near Manchester.
Enjoy another relegation under your Beloved Keith hill, the man who was a disaster at Barnsley.

We don't want hatred on this forum, take your negativity back to your slum club.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

people go on about the loss of Jase 'killing' the Ultras but like Lee said it was only one aspect of it. All around the same sort of timescale we had the SOS campaign which left a lot of bad feeling, we lost Coxy, we had banning orders served on trusted fans and we had mounted police horses on the Clayton End FFS

I loved the atmosphere as much as the next man and whenever I get chance to get on I'll carry on doing my bit to improve it, but when you get all that within a few short weeks there is no doubt that it will drop off. I'd love it to be back to what it was, and to bring my lads along to enjoy it, but if the Ground Safety Officer has no say to the police over whether they should charge into fans for an 'organised' display then there is no chance.

Do I get a prize for predicting this one first ? :alright:

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

Sorry Macca but that's a poor excuse. On the day or a few games after then maybe but this is years later. Yes , we may not agree on the stewarding but how often do we see the police at an Accy game these days and the last time I saw a horse was the grand national.

They can take away our smoke bombs, they can take away our flags but they can't take away our singing cos in England at least they don't have that legislation!!

ps any similarity to Mel Gibson in Braveheart is purely coincidental :D

pps British yesterday, British today - Scotland says NO!! - sorry couldn't resist it especially since I have dual nationality :D

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

And secondly my original post was not to show that Beattie was a better manager than Coley because, given their records, it is obvious that Coley won hands down on that score, it was to show that you could pick any statistic to make your point look good. However temper that with the fact that, yes we did improve season on season each year, but other than the playoff season all we managed was to avoid relegation. Ps i will take that ant season if we stay in the league.

I hope as much as any other Stanley fan that Coley is a success but the game has moved on and hopefully so has he. Get some wins and unite the fans, bring back the feel good factor and prove the doubter wrong, and you can count me in that up to a point given what I have said.

Finally in response to our friend from Rochdale, it is academic whether they would be injured after a few months as I was talking retrospectively and and how did I forget about Gary Roberts and Romy Boco.

On that note, and as an aside, I've been out for a few beers after work and around 9 o'clock it's time to head home with a pizza so I head to the pizza shop.

I order the pizza and a young boy of around 12 sees my Accy Stanley Jacket and says do you know about Accrington Stanley? Yes I say, waiting on the usual milk advert response, but he asks have you ever seen them?

Again I say yes in a rather quizzical fashion, I go down quite often. Then he says do you know Rommy to which I say what!! Rommy Boco? His face lights up and he says yes and I say I've met him a few times. Keeping it clean, I say how do you know about Rommy Boco? He says from FIFA and, bearing in mind that Castle Douglas is not a hotbed of Accy fans other than me and ny wife when we aren't playing Stevenage, I think how the hell did he find Rommy Boco and Accrington Stanley?

Don't under estimate the power of video games!

"Slum near Manchester","slum club". Yet you don't want hatred on this forum.:rolleyes:

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

It's disrespectful for a fan of another club, in this case a smaller club, to come on here and pat us on the head as poor little accy.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

Do yeh actually know what disrespectful means?:rolleyes:
