What the expert says...
John Coleman was sacked after long-standing time in charge of the club
Long-serving manager John Coleman was dismissed by the Accrington Stanley board at the weekend following the club's 4-0 thumping by Wrexham.
Coleman and assistant Jimmy Bell were both sacked by the club with a short two-sentence statement given for one of their longest serving managers.
The Liverpudlian took over at Accrington back in 1999 when the club was in non-league and got them into the Football League in 2006 before leaving in 2012.
Coleman took over at Rochdale and lasted just a year there before returning to Accrington in 2014 for a second spell in charge of the club.
Next Accrington Stanley Manager Betting (Odds, Contenders, History)
Accrington are now 16th in League Two after 4-0 loss to Wrexham
Accrington's season is basically over now according to the betting odds with the club now out to 250/1 to be promoted as they sit 8 points off the play-offs.
Stanley are also 19 points off the relegation zone with no real chance of being relegated now this season.
Whoever takes over at the club next will be hoping that they can put a late run of wins together to bring the club up to the play-off spots.
