Twas ever thus.
Where the massive budget that got us back into league football?
Where the millions that saw us promoted to League 1?
For the history of Stanley read; 'Shoe string budget' .
Our success in the past has defied all the rules of economic logic, so stating what is obvious is of little comfort.
It was built on polishing rough diamonds, on bargains bin rejects.
Our current predicament is due largely to wasting what budget we had over the past few seasons for a bloated squad of unused players; and we all know where the blame for that lay.
Looking back I wonder how we ever obtained the likes of Billy Kee, Paul Mullin & Kayden Jackson. Or the wing wizards Gary Roberts & Jordan Clark.
The midfield intelligence of Josh Windass & Matt Crooks and the defensive rocks Mark Hughes & Matty Pearson,
Let's be honest, our current squad is made up of unremarkable journeymen who are struggling to compete at this level.
Looking at the games we have left, away to Salford & Walsall & home to a resurgent Carlisle, I'm not feeling optimistic.
The second half collapse today could yet prove to be our downfall.
Get polishing Mr Doolan, we need another miracle
