Good luck to Reagan at Southport. The brief times I saw him I thought he looked like a sound player. Certainly could take a terrific throw-in, as good as a corner when level with their penalty area.

So Scunthorpe have sacked their manager, only 4 games in - crackers if you ask me

maybe they did not want him anyway. we do not know what actually goes on behind the scenes at stanley never mind scunthorpe. on the face of it though clubs who do stuff like this deserve what they get. are westley and pardew still without jobs.

Hopefully they are on the dole.

Well spotted mab!
That article sums up perfectly the reasons behind our recent success.
Andy Holt, John Coleman & Jimmy Bell - drive, ambition & common sense.
Who knows where this winning combination will take us?

They must've known who they wanted to take over - they've appointed Stuart McCall

 

[monkey hanger]

be interested to see if they improve but whoever takes over at notts county will have an easier task as they cannot get any lower.

Not sure where else to post this. Today at lunch time there was a funeral leaving Champs in Clayton. One of the floral tributes said "ASFC Steward" does anyone know who this was?

It was a man called Norman Blackburn, he's been a steward at Stanley for quite a long time

Thanks for letting me know. RIP. I will add him to my prayers tonight.

See he's been replaced by Harry Kewell!! Once again, County think a good ex-player will make a good manager - ???

How many Managers in the league aren’t ex players ?????

The question is how many were GOOD ex-players.
Many of the best managers were mediocre players, Dalgleish being one exception.

I think I remember one José Mourinho playing a couple of games in
the old Accy Combination on Highams a couple of decades ago!

Well thats a matter of opinion.
It also depends what you mean by mediocre.
If you played for your Country you were hardly ****.
I thought Nolan was a great pro and Kewell was decent.
The best non playing Manager ever for me was Laurie MCMenemy but he had a military background.
