Let's assume the rumours of the undisclosed are correct.
£800k banked.
If it's nothing fair enough.
All this talk about Agents etc makes it sound like only Accy have a problem and that Agents are the problem.
Not true.
Anyway enough of it.
We've replaced a £500k striker with an untried centre forward and as Chewy has pointed out on the other thread that will be minimal outlay.
Great business if it comes off.
Personally I think we lack experience up there.
Time to move on I think.

Yes probably time.....as there are too many unknowns, and generally Stanley fans are happy to "play one of the smallest player budget cards" when talking to fans of other clubs. It also helps the Manager and Staff keep fan expectations in check each season. The "Stanley-Way" of selling the players it has either "rejuvenated" or "coached and improved" and replacing them with players who have either "lost their way" or "have talent but need help" continues under Coley and Holt. That is the "the recruitment strategy" at Accrington. There obviously is some money for Fees but not a great deal for improving wages. The extra budget available to us in League 1 has been spent on the U23 set up. Which as we all know is a very slow burn, but does sometimes turn up real gems.
As always, I await the start of the season on Saturday against Charlton with a mixture of both excitement and trepidation. Charlton should be a good test of how we might fair this season, and I just don't want to lose.
