Manager Information
Manager: Shane Stalley
Nickname: Shearer/Stealth
Birthplace: Ipswich, UK
Last Season: 11th
FFA Cup: Shield
A mixed first season for Accrington. Wigan without Steve Bruce leaked goals which hindered Stalley's success despite some excellent outfield signings notably Tevez who was one of the bargains of the year at £10m. A second season is full of promise and potential for Stalley but the return of his beloved Newcastle to the prem could be his undoing if he depends on too many magpies! However the experience of last year should help him build on a decent start to his FFA career.
Board Prediction: A steady improvement beckons - top 7 finish and semi-finals of the cup.
