Leam Richardson - the worst manager in Stanley's history?

Stop posting negative comments and support the club, team and management. Sooner or later someone on here will ask moderators to stop allowing stupid nonsensical threads like this. And please, answer the damn question first!

I have done by questioning your assumptions.
Please answer them instead of playing the mod.

I believe the reason we are not cemented to the bottom of the league already is Leam's attempts to plug the gaps with experience and more quality. He gambled on Beattie (and given the prospect, who wouldn't?!). Leam isn't perfect and as a young manager makes mistakes, but I can't see how a change in manager at this stage would help us at all. Not on the pitch or off it.

I disagree that cook took away our fight.

And what your really saying is, whats the point in changing the manager as we are going down regardless?

Defeatist.

Please stop the negativity.

[QUOTE=DAV007;1042587]
Can we expect a statement from the club tommorrow if Leam is going to stay or go?
Will we he get a vote of confidence or will it be a press conference to announce a new manager?[/QUOTE] I'm sorry Dav007 you seemed to have gone from one extrem to another!! And working your self up in to a wild Frenzy, carm down. As you may know you can pm anyone of 3/4 forum members who have direct contact with in the club. ie Peter Shaw Valarian both directors and our very own mod Mark Turner who works at the club and has invited anyone down for a chat anytime.

No, it isn't. I'll decide what I'm saying. Your tactic of shouting people down with cries of "you lot are blind to the truth and accepting defeat!" doesn't work on me. It merely shows your lack of ability to structure argument and back up your opinions. The record's been broken for a while now.

I believe we have adequate management, some people don't. Big deal. That's football. But negativity spreading campaigns for ousting staff are not our style. Leave that to them squares down at Ewood.

[smobile]

Can everyone please calm down. I think I may have sorted it. I have just tweeted Kenny dalglish and offered him the managers job.

He hasn't replied yet, but I expect he is probably having his tea or something.

Will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

There is a difference between
a) Finding money IMMEDIATELY to pay off one manager / recruit another, and
b) Adjusting / preparing for a year with less cash coming in.

Saying 'what will conference football cost us' and equating this to the cost of sacking and recruiting does not tell us where this money will come from.

And in any case there are four possible outcomes. Leam stays we stay up, leam stays we go down, leam goes we stay up, leam goes we go down. Only one of those outcomes would cost more to the club than the other three.....a bit of a gamble?...

How do we know it will cost 50 - 100k?
Shouldnt the board have to face the cost themselves for making the disastrous decision to make Leam manager?
How can you expect coley and jimmy to work for free?
the ball is in Leams court if our board dont have the courage to act.
If he is humble enough to reflect and accept this is not the right job for him, then he should walk.
If he still thinks he is the man for the job, he needs to get points on the board startind on Saturday.
I would suggest his bigger immediate problem may be the dressing room who no longer rate him.

What's your address 1 cloud cuckoo land

[stanley convert]

So Stanley suffer another defeat (to another team pushing for promotion) and the get Leam out campaign begins again (boring) leave the lad alone he is doing his best and DAV007 I can tell you that the lads in the dressing room are 110% behind him, JC & JB are not the answer we have moved on live with it.
Stanleys problem is we aint got anybody who can put the ball in the back of the net on a regular basis or a Gornall or Mullen to be a target man and hold the ball up.
Deano needs to be given the armband as I don,t think Joycey is up to it yet.
At the end of the day and we have been in this position at least 4 times since coming back into the league if we go down we will survive we will have some cracking non-league days out and get on with the job in hand, anyway it aint over till the fat lady sings and what will be will be.

[football19]

People seem to think if we change the manager everything will be fine --- why did rochdale go down then?.There are many reasons why were struggling,but its on the pitch it's not happening,I struggle to think of anything more Leam could have done,so what do we do?,return to training on a rugby pitch.
If you think a new manager will get another 10% from the team,you very much mistaken,they are giving there all.
People calling for change,still haven't stated what more leam could have done,come on lads please let us know and share your football wisdom

[cmonstanley]

lets hope we stay up .i hope results improve,what should happen any winnable games at home should be treated like a cup final,and the midfield should be beefed up. ive only been watching highlights but i remember the same things happening 5 years ago.the defence chasing back towards the wings leaving the middle exposed .when most teams struggle its the midfield that isnt balanced.if you let a centre mid have space he has 3 choices the wings or forward.i would personally play 3-5-2 just to have a better chance of scoring and tighten the midfield.

Wrong! Henning Berg's record at Blackburn was far worse than even that of Steve Kean. However, I see that Preston got a win yesterday after sacking the manager and without any new appointment! It's a lottery and I have been sitting "on the fence" regarding the situation with Leam, and can see both sides of the argument. However, I now can't see any alternative to keeping him on at this stage and believe he should be given full backing. I just wish he would end his love affair with his mate and show more imagination in his team selections. His understandable desire to try to keep a solid defence seems to result in there never being any possibility of getting a sufficient number of players in the opponents' box in open play and even on set pieces our delivery leaves a lot to be desired.

Leam has addressed some of the areas where the team needed boosting - he's brought in an experienced centre back, a recognised right back and the left hand side in an attempt to stop leaking goals.

I don't know much he has tried to bring in a creative midfielder, but we are lacking someone who can consistently make chances and from the limited amount I've seen of Linganzi, he's not the answer. Beattie is not the most mobile, but then again he never has been, and given the right service, I think he can be more effective for us - I think back to his early games and he has the quality to take chances. Podge works hard, but his conversion rate is simply not good enough - he needs almost 8 chances for every goal and we need to be scoring goals. I'd try Boco up front with Beattie. Leak has not addressed a key problem which is creating chances and scoring.

The thing is Redraine, if your going to play an ultra defensive system, you need players that can break quickly and get a goal, it appears Stanley haven't got these players, Beattie is far too slow these days, mind you I don't know what roll he's being used in, out and out striker or hanging back behind a striking partner. the only problem concentrating solely on defense is its okay, but like on Friday they conceded two late goals which seems to keep happening

Maybe there was a lot of hard work, but also at a heavy cost ( you could even say at the taxpayers expense )
