He got Carlisle United to the top of League Two from sod all wage bill. Then when Covid appeared the run ended. Maybe, without knowing it, the squad had Long Covid, certainly the energy was not there and that was half of the winning formula. Beech was never the same again and after an indifferent start to the next season gradually became worse he had to go.
He is doing very well at Fylde and you obviously know him well. He may be urinated off by the unfortunate way things went at Carlisle United and have the necessary fire in his belly to make a comeback.
In League Two there is always the possibility of a club being in such a dire financial situation that it gets thrown out of League Two. If one club did get thrown out then only the team that finished bottom would get relegated.
So Dale should battle on to finish 23rd. Even if it does not save Dale from relegation it would create a competitive base situation going into the close season.
Crawley Town have a superior points-per-game ratio to Hartlepool United. Therefor, based on Crawley Town's points-per-game ratio this is the calculation of the number of points that they will finish on :- (26 / 29) * 46 = 41.24
Let's call that 42, a number that no doubt Douglas Adams would have approved of. It is not likely that even if Dale reached 42 points they would make up the current goal difference margin of 10 between them and Crawley Town. So my expectation is that Dale need a final total of 43 points.
