Stanley's next manager?

Even though I take any articles with zero sources such as those so often found in the Daily Hate with a pinch of salt, I hope the board have learned not to gamble again on a player with no experience as a manager. We need skilled leadership now more than ever, not someone just there for their name.

Correct.
Nicky Hunt has never been a leader and already people are asking for him to be appointed.

We got fortunate with Leam who just kept us in the league, likewise with Beattie. If we make the same choice again, we may not be so fortunate.
 
We have a manager in Paul Stephenson and I don't see any reason not to let him show what he can do.
Don't know how many ("stinking") badges Mr.Dunn may already have but, if it's none, I don't see why he can't start as player-coach under PS. His skills on the pitch would be a tremendous asset to the club.

I think Dunny is at least B licenced. Who's to say Paul Stephenson wants the job ? He may be happy to do what he has been doing, with somebody else taking the media role ;)

If there is any truth in the Dunn rumour then there is an advantage, Stanley would get a quality attacking midfielder as well as a manager with a lot of contacts, and a Stanley fan as well

( Can't believe as a Burnley fan I just praised him :) )

I believe he's passed his coaching badges

A quick Google search and it would appear he did Belfast with Joey Barton and Mendietta amongst others. I hope the exam consisted of kicking Barton as far up in the air as possible :D
 
Would appear the players are backing Stephenson, so presumably he has said he wants it. If thats correct it's obviously the least disruptive and easiest option for the board

also the cheapest option for the club and Stevo must have guided Beats when he started

That's what makes me wonder if he wants to be the boss or assistant. He was already there when Leam left :confused:

Good point Dave......maybe he wasn't wanting it then or ready for it ....now he might want to finish what he and James started to prove a point?
 
Shocked that you guys are looking for a new manager. Really thought that you'd got a good one in Beatie. But I wonder if the fact his family still live on the South coast had anything to do with it?

Wouldn't be surprised if the Chorley pair are in with a shout for the job.

Somehow can't see Coley coming back but it's a funny old game so who knows?

Whoever gets the job just hope he keeps you guys in the league.
 
Some interesting candidates without a job at the moment - the question is do the club take a gamble on Stephenson or Flitcroft or bring in a more experienced manager like a ronnie Moore. Not sure what I'd do - it's a big call.
 
For me the group of players we have will back anyone who's in charge,that's the Acci way,but I feel we can't be taking risks as we are still only just above the drop zone.
PS has always been a coach(I stand to be corrected),so it's a tricky one as Leam found out.
Might upset a few but I would have JB and JC back.
It makes sense,but only if we can afford it,
Since they left all we have done is fight relegation and I remember them managing the club thro a period of the players not getting paid for three months,most managers would have walked but they fostered an unbelievable team spirit.
 
Don't think Ronnie Moore would be in the running, wasn't he sacked by Tranmere for breaching the betting rules

That's easy to say when they're pals of yours F19,surely Paul Stevenson deserves to be treated with a bit more respect.Your own son had a long spell out with his ankles after months of constant pain killing injections that ended up nearly crippling him.Lets have a manager that takes care of his squad.
