Leam Richardson

         
   They have let reserve-team coach Mark Crossley, who joined the Spireites with Wright and Sheridan, development coach John Dungworth and kit man Kurt McDermott leave the Proact Stadium. On Tuesday the club confirmed youth team coaches Mark Jules and Dave Bentley have also gone.Richardson described the feat as a "minor miracle" and his biggest achievement in football, while he spoke positively of his side's chances of a better season next time around following Stanley's final game of the campaign - a 3-0 home defeat by Oxford United on Saturday. Speaking about Richardson's arrival, Cook told the club website:  "Having worked with him before, I'm delighted to have been able to bring in Leam.Accrington's managing director Rob Heys told BBC Radio Lancashire: "For Leam to decide that he wants to move on did come as a shock. You have to say 'that's football'. There will always be other opportunities for people and there will always be people that can come in and take over.Ex-England striker Francis Jeffers posted:  "Gaffer has gone, wish him all the best in his new job. Enjoyed playing for him over the past couple of months.He has great knowledge of League Two, as a player, assistant manager and manager and I'm sure he's going to be a great asset to our club.Now we've reached the end of the season, the conversations have been had again and Leam's decided his future lies elsewhere. I'm sure Leam had a number of reasons and he's chosen to make the move.Stanley players have been reacting to the departure of Richardson, who guided Accrington to safety in the final weeks of the season, on Twitter.And full-back Lee Molyneux added:  "So the gaffer has officially gone. Good luck to him. Done a good job this year and gave me a chance playing.
