[Wynonie Harris]

Perhaps the tensions and pressures of being the manager of Accrington Stanley, poverty-stricken football league club are finally beginning to show? Always having to make do with scraps off the table...rarely being able to make a decent offer for a player...taking a chance on a player who is recovering from a serious injury or who no other clubs want...trying to tempt players here with £27,000 a year, while other clubs are offering £50,000+...looking into the future and knowing that because we have to build a 1,000 seater stand on the Whinney Hill side by the end of next season and we are getting gates of 1,400, the already threadbare playing budget will be cut even more...wouldn't the pressure get to you in those circumstances?

And the real tragedy is that even if Coley went and we got another manager, he would find himself faced with exactly the same near-impossible working conditions.
