Like the quote in the Observer,'Its just liaising with the manager,with the team and making sure everybody's happy'.That was one of Eric's strong points,making people happy!!

caretaker · 24-07-2009, 07:34

He has certainly made me happy by leaving.

Wynonie Harris · 24-07-2009, 07:52

Reckon he'll have his work cut out there with all their current problems. They can't even play their friendlies at the moment.

[quote=Christies Child;730667]Stabby Whalley.....sound familiar?

I find it incredible that a man so passionate about your club can now turn round and be as critical as that. Hasn't he been Mr Accrington Stanley for all these years? quote]

bit like all the so called stanley fans who turned on eric, if it wasnt for that man they would be playing sunday football nowadays, the "fans" need to remember that instead of stabbing him in the back....

what goes around comes around

you'll struggle to find anyone on here who doesn't appreciate all the good work that Mr Whalley put into the club. Unfortunately though, with Eric, he wasn't a "people person" and as such he has probably cost the club a lot of money in the long run.

Spot on Macca Eric will go down in football history as the man who saved ASFC from oblivion and for that I,m sure the true fans of the club will be forever grateful.Eric was never a great Google Page Ranking man and never will be as far as the fans are concerned and he has gone to pastures new to spread his own brand of happiness,good luck to both him and chester (your gonna need it).For stanley the shackles have been thrown off so onwards and upwards has to be the message for the fast approaching season.

One of the game's true characters, all the Best for the future Eric

Drag a struggling club up by its boot laces. Give us all something we never thought possible ( re entry into the FL ) Improve the ground beyond all recognition, even though as he said it is still one of the worst in the league. All this on poor attendances that inexplicably go less as the club goes upwards, Having put according to one article £2 million of his own money in, and then be abused as some of the above post. No wonder Eric is cutting his ties.
He never used two words if one would do, except the occasional expletive.
THANKS Eric and good luck whatever you do.

Where has somebody abused him?

all anybody has done is point out the frailties that I am sure he recognises himself

Oldgobbin · 24-07-2009, 15:46

I think we can only say a great big thank you to Eric for all he has done for Stanley and I wish him well for the future, even if it is with Steven Vaughan, for whom I have very little time. I do have a sneaky little wish, however, for the coming season, which is that Russell Whalley should be turned away from the clubhouse one matchday! Who knows, if I wish hard enough, it could happen!!?

I will second that, if he has anything to do with the Sports Bar I not be seen there unless it's to slam the door in his face.

Sad that Eric's gone . . . but every cloud has a silver lining !

Chester Crisis Goes To Court

Chester's ongoing inability to play matches shows no sign of lifting with the taxman meeting Administrators Refresh Recovery in court.
The move can be reasonably assumed to be a challenge to the way the company in Administration arranged a CVA that would see the taxman get just 15% of it's dues. [Bulls News]

Irony, what irony.

What Raver neglects to mention is the fact Don McKay was a great bloke, also a damn good manager of the rovers, fact they would never have progressed into the premier under him, through no fault of his own, he had took them as far as he could, under his working circumstances, the same parellel could be made fer E.W.
