So are many people going to watch Rommy then post a few questions to coley and Jimmy at the crown tomorrow night??

Thinking of going straight from work...and happy to pose any questions for anyone who can't make it!! Well if they are sensible questions that is

And if by chance I ask a question on behalf of someone on here and it is judged as the winning question...I will assure you now that I will thoroughly enjoy the two free pints

Can't make this one but if you can ask the following for me if you don't mind?

1) What do you think is the reason for our poor home form so far this season?

2) How significant to your future plans and the Clubs is the continued development of the Centre of Excellence?

Thanks HR

Can't help thinking that the question they judge to be the best will also be the least awkward for them

Questions printed off and will take them with me Neil!

I doubt I will get back on here before tonight now, so can't ask any other questions, sorry!

Will try to remember questions asked and the answers, but not sure how well I will do

DAV007 · 25-01-2008, 16:14

can you ask 3 questions for me

1. do you think John Miles failure to hold down a regular first team place at accrington stanley was down to ability or application?

2. Football clubs hit ceilings where they can no longer progress further on the pitch without financial investment. Where do you see Stanleys ceiling?

3. With the growth of the European Union, work permits for non UK nationals are no longer required for players from Eastern bloc countrys. Will you consider taking more european free agents on trial in the summer?

To jc
1. Is Robbie Williams untouchable?
2. Is he your biological son?
3. Do you think you have carried him far enough?
4. What benefits do our new strikers recieve when we bring them in and play them in midfield?

And at that coleman lunges at supporter questioning his genius IQ and asks him if he could do a better job with bollocks resources.

Considering that the forum started 37 minutes before you posted, why waste your time asking these questions?

Stanleymad · 25-01-2008, 21:21

See no one is in a rush to come home from the pub to update us all on the Q&A session

Seems that some explanations would be desirable over the Roberts and Roscoe news.

Is any one able to report on these and other issues from last night's Forum?

maccawozzagod · 26-01-2008, 10:15

Accrington Stanley made all players 'available' some time ago as reported on the fishy site. Offers were invited so to speak and Roberts was somebody who an offer was made on. After a good start Roberts has not fulfilled the hopes and aspirations that Coley had for him. His lack of pace being one. Although Coley would rather have Roberts apply himself better the decision is down to him as to whether he goes or not.

Coley did also say that Roberts would benefit from having a leader along side him.

As for Roscoe, Torquay made an offer for him a fortnight ago. He was made aware of the offer and as a club we will never stand in the way of a player moving on if they wish. The move was a good one for Roscoe as it involved him moving back to the South where he comes from - therefore the deal was done. We made a bit on the deal so everyvbody wins.

Did anybody ask anything about Rocky?

harwood red · 26-01-2008, 10:28

Right, I was there last night and did pose the questions on here..

Pendle Red

1) What do you think is the reason for our poor home form so far this season? Coley said he wished he knew and has been perplexed by it as much as anyone, he gave a couple of options - teams fearing the new league players last year and not so much this year, they've tried the getting together overnight before a home match to see if that helped! to emulate the feel of away matches.

2) How significant to your future plans and the Clubs is the continued development of the Centre of Excellence? Both felt this is where the future of stanley can only get better, With Bobby Grant and Martin Fearon now come through the youth set up already..and the centre of excellence slowly working up to the younger talented local lads also... feels it may be a few years before it is truely established in all age ranges but definately a big thumbs up from the management team

DAV007

1. do you think John Miles failure to hold down a regular first team place at accrington stanley was down to ability or application? Obviously now knowing that he has gone out on loan wasn't sure whether to ask this one, but did anyway...Coley said his style of play makes him look naturally lazy, but he felt this was far from true but admitted he hadn't shown what he was capable of at Stanley and that both management and miles himself had been disappointed on his performances.

2. Football clubs hit ceilings where they can no longer progress further on the pitch without financial investment. Where do you see Stanleys ceiling?
Jimmy wanted to answer this one and believes in our current set up we can go one step further... Coley at this point wanted to state that this is why some players have been let go, and that it was circulated that players were available and if any offers came in, he talked to that player and asked if they wanted to go, he wanted to state that Lee McEvilly and the mgmt duo were aware he had not performed for stanley and Lee wanted to play football and not just sit in the stands and collect his wages, so that is why he has gone out both times. Because of the finances of the club to be able to free up wages would allow them to get other players in as the squad was too large to financially allow anymore signings. He also admitted to this being his worst season for signings and that he had got it wrong a few times and holds his hands up to that ... he also stated Rocky has played some awful football this season off the back of last season when he believed he was one of our best players.

As for the final question DAV007 I didn't have time but it was touched on that we don't have a massive scouting system in place, so we do rely on information that comes through from non paid people who have gone and watched matches at many levels! Did manage to ask jimmy after this question and he said if a player was available and Eric wanted to pay him to go out there

he would be more than happy to go and bring anyone back he felt was up to the stanley job

The Q & A's session went on for over an hour and half and as you can imagine I can't remember everything, but if someone wants to ask then I will see if it jogs any memories

Just to note that UK cowboy got the 2 free pints and it was quite a tough question, so will let him update you on that one

Wynonie Harris · 26-01-2008, 10:37

Cheers for that, HR, very interesting!
