An awful lot of stuff has gone on over the last 3 seasons, maybe, just maybe, enough was enough for some??? It may have been cash, but it may have been something else??

Just a thought

P.S. Not aimed at you, or anybody in specific Doug, just a reply to this thread

I've no problems with that Joe; to be honest you're most likely to be right. Something that's bothered me is the Play offs; it was like watching something out of a silent movie in places; neither match was attended by the team that played all season long; even the worst performances of the season didn't compare to those last two play off games.

One question I've asked myself is would things had been the same had we gone on to win.

All that said it's happened and there's always a chance that others will go. Whatever has happened over the last couple of months is now irrelevant. There's got to be investment this season in what Coley builds up for us and that team has got to perform better than the last if we are to make any form of progress; even survive in the league.

I have said before; at the end of the day Football teams are like Squadrons, Regiments and Ships company's you can wipe them out; retire them or deplete them; but always they survive, they rebuild, they cherish their Battle Honours; hold high their heroes, support each other and battle on in every adversity. Accrington Stanley; like them, Never Dies.
