Re rikki the3 money offered by accrington was the equivelent of him getting less than £7(seven pound an hour)for a 37 hour week. Now that doesnt mean just because he's a footballer he should get more than those on the terraces but gives an indication of what the club offered him. Work the sums out and you can see why he left. The money at tamworth is good and as its only 10 minutes from his midlands home saves him a fortune on petrol etc and its a 6 month deal. whereas at accrington it was a non contract basis. They can find a five figure sum for a conference forward and a 2.5 year deal to a unibond player (who is a great player) yet can't offer even a six month deal to a player who other clubs want.
Don't be surprised if a European team comes in for him during the summer to play at a Premier League level.
