Stanley's next manager?

[maccawozzagod]

well said Shakey

lots of claims around that it's a done deal - however ...is there something to be read into this quote from Stephenson after tonights match?

"It is disappointing as I have lost James Gray for selection for three games ..."

[Chimer]

If you're vaguely interested in a club, you might lose interest if things don't go the way you think you should. But if you support a club, you support the club. You don't (you can't!) switch support on and off depending on what happens or as people come and go. Whoever's manager on Saturday, it's still On Stanley On.

[Wynonie Harris]

Gordon Bennett, Chimer, course it's still On Stanley On. I don't think the return of Coleman's a good idea, but it won't stop me supporting 'em. The sudden drop from Football League to Lancs Comb Div 2 in 1962 didn't stop thee or me...a little local difficulty like this certainly won't stop me!

We did not play aimless hoofball under coleman,
we did play it direct to mullin in the 1st 2 years back in the league, but it was all about survival.
It kept us in the league so it was a neccessary evil.

If some of you so called accrington fans, are now dreaming up that we must only play tiki taka football and never pass it more than 6 yards, then you clearly dont understand how league 2 works.

I have never seen us play more aimless long ball than under your beloved Beattie!
Have you all got short memories of how we played last season?

From the 3rd year in the league, we played some really good stuff under Coleman.
He produced numerous good footballers and always encouraged good passing interchange.

So once again, we have dispelled the myths that he is the only manager in the world who has passion and has a go at officials, he plays hoofball when actually he plays decent football, and that he is a backwards step when infact he will take us forward.

Isnt it amazing what you can do with facts.

Coleman is the right man for the job.

We'll just heard Radio Lancs trailing the announcement of John And Jimmy's return..... But not yet official.... So the next dozen games will answer all our questions about the style of football........on Stanley on.....:-)

I'm not sure which "picture" you mean. The club cannot comment on speculation.

Also the 'Club' in this instance means the Chairman and he will be negotiating with relevant parties before going public.

But this tweet from Jimmy Bell gives a clue:

We played the best on the deck game in the league in our play off season, scoring bucket loads the year previous with Grant and Symes. Both on a pitch that was more in line with the imagery of a Seamus Heaney poem than a Football League surface.

Grant were a liability so we shipped him off to our friends at the seaside and Symes wasn't fit for the football required to play at League 2 level or level above that. The only actual decent player's to mature from the Coleman era were Donnelly and of course Cavanagh.

Surprised Peter Cavanagh is favorite for the Accrington Stanley Job bet he know's your fans and Club better than Coleman or Bell ever would, But good luck to whoever you appoint hope you stay in the Football League that's all what matters.

Bobby Grant was never a liability, why do you think he was a liability?

Can remember talking to some Scunny fans in oaklea a couple of years back Davo, they thought same as tazzy,they loved Jimmy Ryan but thought Bobby was a NO-NO. Perhaps that says stanley fans are happy wi a lower standard?

Whoever the board choose as our new manager, he will be the best that the club can afford and I feel sure that once the choice is made the fans will give him their full support

I've heard it's Steve Evans with Westley as Number 2
