Some excellent arguments on here but, as you say 28, the balanced to be made last August was to attract new players to a club with no training ground, portacabin changing rooms, and a pitch in Flood Zone 3! Not sure a few more quid in wages (even it was possible) would necessarily have tempted players who were being courted by other clubs.
Also, Stanley didn’t just get where they are simply by selling. There’s been the odd exception but, for much of their time back in the EFL, Stanley had to watch good players leave for nowt at the end of the season (or half way through in the case of Windass and Crooks) and start again every summer.
It was never easy, and never will be, I suspect. That’s the reality of Accrington Stanley F.C.
