I heard rumours a while back about Exeter.

They are having to cut their wages bill drastically so may not be true.

Blimey,I even looked out the window then just to be sure!All that is really needed is some serious bridge building between certain members of the management team and certain players.It's not beyond redemption just yet but I am bloody sure we would all like to see Rory pulling on a Stanley shirt at the start of next season.Tell him what you think on Saturday night,tell Eric that losing him is a massive mistake,tell Coley if you are feeling brave/drunk enough.Either way get down to IES on Sunday and watch one classy winger in action![Sorry Loweiy,I mean Rory!]:engsmil:

I may not be as qualified to comment as some of you guys on here, as, through work commitments, I can only attend half of the season's games....

BUT... I have been a manager, in my chosen field, for most of my working life, & the ONE thing, above all that I have learned, is, YOU DON'T NEED TO LIKE THE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR YOU!!! I have many colleagues that I RESPECT... that doesn't mean that I would enjoy their company over dinner or a pint... I don't have to socialise with them & their spouses... what I have to do, is get the best out of them whilst they are under my control, for the 40 or so hours that they are employed by me. This, quite simply, means, in my opinion, find out all you can about your employee, decide upon his/her strengths & weaknesses, play on the strengths, downplay the weakness. Somehow, although I have only been 'with' the club as a supporter for half of Coley's reign, their are many instances over the last three seasons where I have had difficulty in understanding some of the decisions made by 'management'.
I do respect what the management team has achieved over the last six seasons, & don't want to particularly 'knock' their decisions... perhaps, if there was a little more 'transparancy', & certain decisions were explained, either on here or the 'fishy', maybe supporters such as myself would have a little more confidence in what goes on, off the pitch.

I posted some similar "managerial" stuff on an earlier thread and got shot down for it!The basics of good management are the same for whatever field you are in and you have them in a nutshell there.You play to your strengths,praise and criticise in equal measure,but always be constructive. Lead by example,if and when you make a mistake,admit it,and above all DON'T HAVE FAVOURITES!

[harwood red]

well said lindsay/kitchener but I have to say I respect JC as a leader and as we all know he's not afraid to speak his mind even if at times it does seem rather questionable but as I would be as much use as a footy manager as I would a ballerina I will withold my thoughts on his management style.... but after saying all that....................... RORY DON'T GO!!! But if by chance you do I can only wish you all the luck and success in the world

[Christies Child]

...it REALLY is silly season now!

According to an informed Stanley lad in my office who is normally spot on with his news, the latest to be linked with my lot is a certain player who has had a number of problems with Coley this season. Evidently we made a bid for him before he decided to join a league club.

Don't worry fellas, even I find that too hard to believe.....BUT would be the ideal partner for Mr.T!

[Whalley Red]

Evil?

Join the same team as that cheating Kempson?

Save your BS for your own forum

[big al]

With Brown & Roberts being offered new contracts the incentive will be for Rory to stay. A brill setup to feed him on the wing with Mullers & Evil banging em in all the way to the football league. Rory knows this club is going up this next season so a few months to fulfill his ambition as a league player is on his doorstep. Coley has no favourites as he said at the last forum, but he knows for all his discrepancies with Rory he is the best in the conf. New song for Morecambe when we visit Crusty Park next season: "Rory here, you're havin a laff!"

Just trawling through some old posts, came across this one, & thought, how many of us still hold the same opinions?

Be interesting to have current comments from those who posted!!

BTW, where's Lindsay Ormerod these days? Havn't seen her on here for ages?

Probably because Rory is at Blackpool

[Morecambe_Red]

Yes McEvelly and Craney both wanted to come to Morecambe in the summer but obviously Eric wouldnt do business. May be different when Craney's contract expires in the summer.

[Jimbo T Hornblower]

No disrespect but get real fella - Craneys been attracting interest this season from league clubs - why would he go to Morecambe? Actually - thinking about it, Eric might be more pleased if he went to Morecambe with the sell on clause Alty have on him... less to pay Alty...

[zayno14]

he'd never sign for morecambe! Why would he leave us for them? we are better than them. They just about beat us when we had ten men for the majority off the game and he is a fans favourite at the IES, i'm sure he knows we he is really wanted!

[OLDHAMADE]

After rectifiying my original post I would just like to say Great result today for your lot and well done!

Your manager deserves a big pat on the back for this performance, lost two massive players last season and comes back with this..........Genius!

And for the record Brannan had a decent debut today but truth be known I don't think many were too bothered about the football or the fact we lost as our minds were elsewhere with a more important issue.
