James Beattie Player/Coach

[AsFc62]

Former England striker James Beattie is in talks over a player-coach role at League Two Accrington Stanley.
Free agent Beattie, 34, could link up with his former Blackburn team-mate Leam Richardson who is Accrington's manager.

Yes.

 

[Shurm]

Shame he's too young for the Vets Team, be good for 1st team though

 

[cashman]

That would be a good addition fer me. was a damn good striker, who learnt a lot off Shearer.

 

[smobile]

Would put a few on the gate too hopefully.........

 

[Redraine]

A good impact sub!!

 

[tonyalveston]

A good starter , never mind "sub". Paddy would have the perfect foil in an experienced goaol scorer. We are without doubt lacking an additional forward. Alvi

 

[Outback Ozzy]

What an exciting thought this potential appointment would be. BTW is Leam still player/manager or has he now retired from playing?

 

[lancsdave]

At least the banter will be good with some of those on here if you get him to talk politics

 

[maccawozzagod]

Observer says we are in talks with two strikers, 1 a loan player and the other a free agent - "fans will be pleased with them" says Leam.

Good signing I reckon

Not for the first time on here, you've lost me Dave. Brain's been fried, I think.

Just a reference to his political allegiance Mick, it's not quite Stanley red

You've got confused between ful and less on the end of use

Wasn't really much point was there?

To me if Leam can bring in James Beattie what does that say as to his influence, connections and respect amongst football per se. Would totally surpass the Brett connections and be a huge shot in the arm to Stanley and elevate Leam to a different culture to that we previously had

 

[cashman]

It aint happened yet Nige but agree wi what yer saying, case of fingers crossed.

Agreed, if his fitness is up to it. Where has he been latterly?
