Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

Sorry Cashy but having been in and around the game for more years than I care to mention, that is not a good idea. As an old manager once said to me players are ships that pass in the night. Players play, Coaches coach, Manager's Manage. This decision can't be based on who is popular.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

Well perhaps "Honesty" should be a factor.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

Totally agree, the honest thing for the club and the fans would be to sift through the applications, hold interviews and select the best person. Not difficult but my earlier post tells you why I don't think it will happen.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

I agree, i dont think it will happen either.But i fear the person chosen wont fit that criteria.:eek:

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

You have to ask yourself why Peter Marsden...who has always backed Beattie to the hilt....decided to offer the "jump before you're pushed" option to Beattie on the eve of a big game on the back of a win.

From the rumours I have heard Mr Beattie may not be as clean cut as his image suggests.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

I have also heard rumours of that nature, at this point thats all they are, the stuff known about yer favourite son Alvin is a bit stronger than rumour.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

Is there any truth in the rumour...Craney,Dunbavin and Craig Lindfield were seen coming out of Accrington Station,and there has been a rush of planning applications from all the big bookies for shops on Whalley Road. 2-0 my bet.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

The only thing I know is that it needs to be a man that understands what a crazy club this is and how tight the budget is etc etc .......

Is Coley the right man..... for me no.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

for me yes

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

Unfortunately I don't think the Directors agree with us,it wouldn't surprise me if they don't even hold interviews ,but just give him the job in the next couple of days.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

For me yes as well.
To say coley hasn't got understanding of tight budget etc would be slightly disrespectful considering he worked here for 12 and a half years.
I think coley is the right man for the job. Would chelsea fans say mourinho was a step backwards or rochdale about keith hill or bournemouth about eddie howe?
He done very well at southport to keep them up and has done average with sligo. Rochdale shouldnt tarnish his otherwise brilliant career in management. If under coley we have another few years as when he was last year it would great for everyone.
I just dont get why people all of sudden hate him, its as if they loved seeing the club struggle in the last couple of years and always wanted this. However we are all entitled to our own opinion but for me coley is 100% the right man in my mind.

Re: Stanley's next manager?
 

If he's so brilliant why has no football league club offered him a post since he made a right mess at Rochdale..Gary Jones couldn't wait to get away from Rochdale after a fantastic long stint there and over 1000 fans disappeared...if that happens at Stanley he and Jimmy will be watching on their own.

Have to say, if there is a return for JC to Stanley, there will not be many tears shed in Sligo. He had a difficult job taking over after our most successful period ever, but already many want him out as the football has deteriorated to a huge extent - back to long balls and poor discipline. I cannot see him being here next season, even if he doesn't get the Stanley job.

I can buy that easily mate, but Davo wont.
