Jim Bentley
Jim Bentley
He’s resigned at Morecambe and set to take over at AFC Fylde. Dyche moves up the list! Let’s hope he gets to number one.
Re: Jim Bentley
Does that mean he is in contention for the Morecambe job?
Re: Jim Bentley
I think Howe’s position at Bournemouth is as safe as SD’s at Burnley. Can’t see him being sacked even if they were to go down. I guess there’s a chance he may leave for a bigger challenge if one were to present itself.

Re: Jim Bentley
Statement from Morecambe today
“It is with great reluctance that we have accepted the resignation of Jim Bentley today. Jim has stated his desire to take on a new challenge and it is only right that we honour his wish after the service he has given this club.
“He has been an amazing servant for us as player, captain and manager and has deservedly gained a fantastic reputation throughout the game for what he has achieved with the club. We cannot thank him enough for his contribution to the club over the years and it goes without saying he will always be welcome at the Globe Arena.
“Jim’s name is synonymous with Morecambe and he has always had the very best interests of the club at heart, playing and managing with great pride, honour and integrity and he departs with the best wishes of everyone connected with the Shrimps.
"Our efforts are now focused on appointing a new manager as soon as possible and that process starts immediately, with a caretaker manager to be announced later this week.''

Re: Jim Bentley
Has he resigned to take on a new challenge or is it because Fylde probably have more chance of being in League 2 next season than Morecambe (and Fylde are 6th from bottom of the National league at the moment).

Hadn’t realised Challinor had gone. Been a huge part there and very close with the owner.

Re: Jim Bentley
The #1 on the list is arguable. Ainsworth was only temporarily in charge until after Dyche was appointed.

Re: Jim Bentley
But confirmed by Wycombe that it was from 24th September 2012 even if the first few weeks were as caretaker. He’s very much number one now despite a number of clubs trying to get him recently.thatdberight wrote:The #1 on the list is arguable.

Re: Jim Bentley
I read last week that Bentley has never paid a transfer fee for a player during his 8 years in charge.

Re: Jim Bentley
not very attractive or haven't got the finances to attract any real quality applicants so sadly they will have to take a punt on a unproven manager or a desperate oneClaretTony wrote:Surely not even Morecambe would consider him would they?
Remember Alex rae harvey being offered £200p/w but turned it down as it was a massive pay cut on what he earned at Barrow at the time
Re: Jim Bentley
If horeface was to get the job would the headline be " Morecambe Neigh "

Perhaps " Morecambe and Lies " as an article headline if OC were to get the job Tony ?

Dyche up to number 2 now then in regards to permanent managers.
Some achievement in this day and age.

Re: Jim Bentley
Despite Stan serving 6 years and Sean 7 we have still had six mangers since Waddle left in the summer of 1998. I think Cotts did 3 years and 4 months OC did about 2 years and 2 months Laws 11 months and Eddie 1 year and 9 months. Sean must be the longest post war manager for us after Mr Harry Potts.

Only Howe in front of him for permanent managers.
Ainsworth wasn’t permanent until 8th November.

No he’s third. Ainsworth’s official start date is 24th September 2012, ahead of Howe & Dyche.Bordeauxclaret wrote:Dyche up to number 2 now then in regards to permanent managers.

Re: Jim Bentley
If you say so.
Like I said last time, it’s odd that nobody told Ainsworth himself.

I thought I would be caught out with that, my fault for not explaining, Drummond and Ellison will be as a joint management team.dsr wrote:At risk of taking pernickitiness to the level of an extreme sport, that's 5 names, even if it's only four potential appointments.

I would find it ludicrous if Dwight Yorke was not interviewed. I am sure he will be texting the chairman right now.
