From Wikipedia :eek:

John Coleman (born 12 October 1962) is an English football manager and former player. He is currently manager of League Two side Accrington Stanley.

Coleman had a long playing career, mainly in non-league football for Kirkby Town, Burscough, Marine, Southport, Runcorn F.C. Halton, Macclesfield Town, Morecambe, Lancaster City and Ashton United. He also had a short spell in Wales with Rhyl. He was one of the most prolific non-league goalscorers in history, with over 500 goals to his name in a career spanning almost two decades. This success saw him play for the England National Game XI (the England team for semi-professional players) and receive many Player of the Year awards from the clubs he played for.[1]

He was appointed player-manager of Ashton United in 1997. After two years, he joined Accrington Stanley then playing in the Northern Premier League First Division. His tenure has seen the club win three promotions as champions to enter the Football League in 2006. He is also the club's longest ever serving manager. Furthermore, he was the third longest serving manager in England, behind Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsène Wenger until he joined Rochdale AFC.

It's been rectified.......took me all of 30 seconds!
 
Good article that----------not, funny thing is he has agreed terms over the weekend and here,s me thinking JC was down in Aldershot since Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
He was down south, in the de vere - farnborough !!!!,with the team and coaches, defo no meetings or anything
 
Im saying nothing [cos i dont have fact] rumour jungle has be really rattled all i can say is be prepared be very prepared :(
 
Well there it is black & white, glad the club have been as quick with the news update to be fair. I did warn ya & some way had prepared for it since yesterday when rational head kicked in. Good luck John & jim, thanks for the many years service x
 
Feel sorry for you guys, losing a manager that you love is hard to take. It was exactly the same for us in the summer when hill left. Hope Coleman can produce the goods for us like he has for you. He will have a fully supportive set of fans and directors to work with and hopefully a decent amount of money due to the sales we have made of players of the past few years. Hope you guys get someone in sharpish to steady the ship. Most Dale fans will tell you we have a soft spot for Stanley so to see some of the comments about Dale was a little hurtful. Good look for the rest of the season!
 
I'd like to wish Accy all the very best, both this season and beyond. I sincerely hope that you have more immediate success in replacing Coleman (and Bell) than we had when attempting to replace Hillcroft.

To be fair, many of us was shocked at the thought & finding out by dale fans when not a whisper at our end, is more the reason it got a bit bitter, thanks to them now for the preparation or today would of been very painful to most.

Well done & congrats you have a great manager there, give him the patience & support he needs, he'll do his best by you all.

You think you've had problems, its gonna be a very hard replacement & someone who likes a challenge of tiny budget & grass root facilities ....thats gonna be a hard task for us, particularly as hes been with us over a decade, dunno who would come forward for the job.
