Many fans make the mistake of talking about Stanley as if we are just another league club; we are not - we are unique because we operate on non-league gates and therefore a non-league budget. The only league club even approaching our level of poverty is D&R and look at how they are struggling now. If the knockers get their way and Coley goes, do you think that will solve our problems? Any incoming manager will face the same old scenario - no crowds and no money. In my view, Coley should receive the freedom of the borough for achieving the impossible!

Yess Wynonie, I can name 2, the managers of the old Wimbledon FC who only got 3500 in the premier league and the manager of Wigan athletic when they first came into the league and look where they are now.
