Lee Leaving..........
 

Tonights observer suggests that if the offer for Lee McEvily is a good one he may be leaving....!!!!

What do you think?? A good move to turn a profit on him ?? or Silly to let such a positive and inspirational player LEAVE..... when we are aiming for the league ourselves???

I would hate to see him leave myself...........:(

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

I really hope we keep him, he would be a key player this season and help us win promotion

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

same here if we lose evil well be losing a really good player so coley should make the right desion and keep him

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

I hope that it's just the usual inter-season gossip.

Lee is so highly regarded here that I'd be shocked at his departure. He has a wonderful relationship with Stanley fans, he's playing what is arguably the best football of his life, and he has a fantastic season ahead of him . . . including a significant chance of promotion.

Wages are always negotiable, so unless there are family matters to which we are not privy, I can't imagine him leaving ASFC for any other club below League One.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Lee would be a very big loss to you guys......but a definate PLUS to his new club........whoever that might be! ! ! ! ! !

Don't ya just luv the silly season?

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Yes, it is a word and it's a word which neatly sums up Lee. His departure would be a massive blow to next season's promotion drive. Let's hope it's an unfounded rumour!

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

i really hope he doesnt leave, would be a disaster

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

From a personal point of view, and after seeing some of the on-field antics at close hand, I would not be too sorry if McEvil left. Yes it would be better to retain his services because he is a fantastic player, but he does have a suspect temperament. Any fee Stanley get for him could quite feasibly be used on getting new players in at the club. NO player is indispensible including all the fans favourites.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Selling Evil to make a profit on him is no excuse. Just remember what happened when we sold Brett in March 1997 ... we only avoided narrowly relegation the next season and then we had our only ever relegation the year after that.

If he's set on moving, it will be difficult to keep him. But if he wants to stay, this will be a signal of the club's ambition :mad:

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

I hope he stays as he always seem to give his all. Got a feeling and i may be wrong but could Carlisle be the league club offering money for him? Did Paul Simpson buy him whilst he was manager at Rochdale? I saw report from a game where Dale beat Orient in London and Evil scored the winner, he could have had a hat trick. Simpson spoke very highly of him after that match...then again he had a fall out with a manager at Dale and I cannot remember which manager it was (it could have been simpson!)

Anyway when Evil and Mr Coleman fell out towards the end of the season did they patch things up? Is that why he is being sought after from league clubs? He played such a big part at the club last season, i cannot believe that he could be sold. If it was a premiership side that was interested or even a championship side then fair enough, give the lad a chance type thing, to improve himself, but if it is Carlisle or Bury or a team in league two, then why sell him?

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

hes on his his wat to carlisle .come on ye blues

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Begins with W not C ...........

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Worst piece of English I have ever seen.

Mind.. You lot are Scottish really....

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

yes but we are in the championship.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Lee is only what, 22 has seen a brill first season & potential that the club has as a professional outfit. He also came from Rochdale as an out of favour player but under a manager that was regarded as a pratt, seen Coleys no nonsence attitude-re Lutel, Rory & perhaps has learnt a lot more about the inside of football this last year. However no one player makes a team & if his ambition is to progress, & who wouldn't in their right mind with his skills, neither the club or manager will stand in his way. Speculation never helps but will always be with us as long as it sells news-correct or speculative.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

sorry mate selling to make a profit is no excuse-its buisness! it happens at every club in the land-bar about 4/5,i agree its a real sickener for any fan when this happens but its reality.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

no, Its called Coca-Cola League 2 actually

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

We still follow Lee's career with interest at Burscough and understand Wrexham are the club hoping to sign him. Not sure how secure their future is though!

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

didnt lee have a fall out with rory last season??? maybe its either one or the other for next season as coley might want to keep moral high for next year promotion push!

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

You condescending PRATT!!!!

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

I missed that one, Kitch.

Isn't Mr Cottier correct in his observation that League 2 isn't The Championship ?

Or am I a Dutchman ?

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

does any1 know which club it is????

if lee leaves i can almost guarantee that its because Coleman has not patched it up with him!

signals stanleys intentions i agree.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

What is patronizing?

Do you not mean Patronising?

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Wow you don't use both? does that mean you will only be able to write for english publications, pity it a big world outside of Lancashire.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

The rumour that Evil is leaving is true. Stanley have accepted a bid from Wrexham, this is from a very reliable source just so you know. Big loss to Stanley, but what Stanleys loss is Wrexhams gain.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Bullet .. we know.. its in the paper.. everything bar the club name which was posted on here anyways....

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Kipax.....what Do You Think??....stanley Have Made A Profit On Him,so Why Not Sell Him.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

He is one of the best players we have.. Money cant replace that..

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

It Would Be Hard To Replace Evil Like,but **** Happens.......it Was Only A Matter Of Time Till A League Club Came In For Him,we Were Lucky To Get Him In The First Place Anyway.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

It used to be called "paper money" ... It means.. whatever money we get for him then that is what he is worth. Thus to replace him its gonna cost just as much. to find someone as good (although he is a one off) we would need to spend the same amount... so we are not gaining. If you could find a player as good cheaper. then why don't wrexham buy the other player and save money.

There isn't another Evil. there are other attackers but I have never seen one like Evil who can scare the apponant just by staring at him. He is an attacker like no other and I don't think he can be replaced... The best we can do is change the approach to our attack to suit a different style of player.

Yes he probably will go and I as well as just about every other stanley fan will be sad to see him go... these things do happen... But given the choice I would rather see him stay....

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Its In The Region Of £25.000 Thats What Av Been Told,to Be Fair On His Day He Is The Best Striker In The Conference Or Was The Best Striker In The Conference,are Stanley Struggling For Cash Or Somethin Thats Why Were Selling Him,or Is £25.000 Too Good To Turn Down....

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Don't understand this. Wrexham are currently in administration. They have been given leeway to recruit up to 20 players and "special dispensation may be given to pay small fees in certain instances." Surely, £25,000 is somewhat more than a "small fee" (although it's not nearly enough for a player of Evil's considerable talents). Also, just what is the lad thinking of, moving from a small, but financially well-run club to one in dire straits? He must be mad (although I wouldn't want to tell him that to his face!).

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

25k???? what a joke!!!

hes worth double that if not more, fair enough if he wants to leave we cant stop him!
What a shame tho, will be very hard to replace him

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

I wouldn't go reading too much into the 25k figure.I would be 99.99% sure that was the first fgure he thought of when writing the message.......

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

It still mystifies me as to how a club in administration can be splashing dosh around and why any ambitious player would want to go there.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Didnt we pay £50k for Craney, if so, then Evil is worth more than Craney

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

15k fearon i think, i am suprised wrexham have any money to spare :unsure8: big loss but hopefully we can get over it and sign a replacement

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

why dont they take the money that is raised by selling evil and invest in the youth squad instead of looking round for someone else cos in the long run it would be financially more sound to do this then when the time comes you could sell more than one player and reep the benefits of this strategy

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

You mean sell one of our main strikers and NOT replace him for 5 years or so in the hope that a youth player is good enough to take his place... just do without him for a few years ?

I hope your good at ironing luv............. :)

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

I think Wrexham will end up selling that 'Juan Ugarte' fella, maybe if he goes they might make some money available for Lee?

Although it is a move to the football league I feel this move may backfire on Lee and IMO Wrexham are on their way down because of their financial status, whereas we have a good financial status and a potential to get in the league this coming season.....

Stay with us Lee, we'll be in the league next year!

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

the english leagues are neglecting the youth schemes of yesteryear and then the fans ask why clubs are going into administration and its because everyone wants to but in from abroad or from other clubs and the knockon effectis that
1, the youth are not found
2, clubs are spending money they dont have,
3, the youth that are around dont get the chance to advance up the ranks (ie conference to league 2)
4, the big clubs have nothing to look at and therefore buy from abroad,
5,the national sides fail to produce anything
6, revenue drops,
7, CLUBS THEN GO INTO ADMIN

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Get a grip.. This is accy stanley not liverpool or chelsea.. we have a good youth setup and players do come through the ranks and play for the team. did you know that or where you just jumping in ?

We simply cant sell a player of this quality and not replace him or wait years to do so.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Yep, we cant replace Evil with an un-experienced youth player its a silly suggestion and its definately not going to happen!

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

i know but why not invest in the youth cos as the song goes "i believe the children are our future, teach tem well and let them lead the way" lol

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Who was the last player who came through the ranks and played for the team ?

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

who says you have to be liverpool or chelsea to use the youth squad, one of the best clubs in the world forthe youth set up is ajax and they start training the children from about aged 6 and if they are good they stick them on a 12 yr contract in which they have to play for whoever ajax deem fit and then they are allowed to talk to any other club, but anyway i digress, using the youth team makes sense for the simple reasons it would keep a constant flow of english youth players going through the system, it brings in revenue when they are sold and it gives the fans new blood to look at.

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

Stanley already have a decent youth development system for a club of our size and with the addition of the training with stanley and going to college scheme being introduced this year i think? they are improving. but it is a slow process to build good foundations for the future

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

ok lets sell evil and spend the money on the youth squad... it MIGHT bring up a player to replace him in 5+ years... we can do without him or a replacement till then eh...



I should know better than to argue with women really... always best to just nod and agree :)

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

i see your point lee and i agree with what is ahppening there however how would they fund these things without having to cash in now and again on players who make a name for themselves

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

there is one thing that i believe should made mandatory tho and that is when a player in the higher divisions such as the premiership when they are transferred, a percentage f the transfer fee should be used to help the lower clubs whether they be in debt or to help the youth acadamies around the country

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

what a grand idea.... also if a premiership club gets over say 30 thousand fans on a game.. then the rest of the money should be split between lower clubs... ooer and if they sell a million shares then any more sold and they should give the money to non league clubs... hmmm what about for every 100 pies they sell.. they give 50pence to lower league clubs.. imagine all the pies sold on a full premiership sat...

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

most of them are eaten by patrick (pieman) kluivert lol but do you see what i mean because they make the money and the lower clubs have to struggle to get by andthey cannot compete in the markets or in the training of the youth

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

baldrick had better plans in blackadder :)

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

well i think that is a decent idea so there

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

hehe did you stamp your feet as you pressed post :)

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

yes i did and if i want i will do it again so na na lol

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

no i don't see wat u mean!!!!

Football is now a business and could u ever see a huge company like microsoft saying "ahh look that little computer shop in accy is not making millions of pounds and harvesting the brightest young minds in IT" so then Bill gates turns around and says "ok then, for every thing we sell we will give accy computers 10% of our profit"


Is that how everygood business works???

Re: Lee Leaving..........
 

but we have academies from future it whizzes they are called schools and colleges and there is even a place called a university, whereas we have ver few sports acadamies around the country
