Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Idiots..................

From the Ashes and back in three Seasons.............let’s hope not. We can only hope the lads rise to the challenge and fill the void left by Paul. The management must be very brave, or very stupid.


Gutted..........

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

I doubt 'the management' has had anything to do with this.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

:( im still shocked, didnt have a clue till HR texted me to let me know - i did have to asked which mullers cos couldnt beleive Paul would go, even had a fella i dont know share in the shock as he'd just found out too. Have to agree with Willie Miller, for a nice change a realistic comment lol.

Will be a an interesting match tommoz tho i dont hold too much confidence with not seeing any of the loanees play i cant comment but also interesting to see how the other players react on the pitch without the usual target man. Will miss Paul, a really nice gent he was, had time & day for anyone, a quality which is a rareity these days, especially in football.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

I do think that there's a lot of over-reaction on this thread. I liked Mullin as much as anyone, but I do think there're a lot of comments being made based on sentimentality.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Of course TM, but still begs the question of a team without mullin, when mullers was injured & couldnt play, we played like real rubbish, do i need to remind people of the Peterborough away match last season??

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Mullin is a legend.

From a business point of view I think it's great 10, 20 30k??? For a player we don't NEED for the rest of the season.

Am gutted he won't be playing when me and my chums come down for the stag do against Chesterfield.

Worse news Grimsby now got Conlon, missed a trick there.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

I think you are probably right TM, however personaly for me, Paul has been Mr Reliable in the time I have supported Stanley, always given 100% whenever in the shirt and scored many a goal as well, so for these reasons alone I will certainly miss the guy.

I cant, however, accept the club statement as being completely 'true' and like others have said I strongly believe there is more to this decision than meets the eye............much more, but as with most things Stanley,I doubt very much the true reason will be forthcoming!

I do think,though, that we should wish Paul all the best and not feel 'stabbed in the back' as one poster has said...............Paul Mullin will always be a Stanley Legend............sentimental but true!!

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

You're quite right UK, we will all miss him.

As for the comments about Symes, well we should wait and see what he's like. Remember, Shrewsbury didn't rate Jimmy Ryan and let him go, so who's to say that they've not got it wrong again? ;)

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

thanks for helping us out with mullin. by the responce on here looks like he will do a job for us.

hope you lads dont miss him too much and i hope our fans dont do their usual and destroy him before he gets a chance.

I for one thank you for helping us out, we needed it.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

When Symes is out on the pitch we'll all support him. However, the stats of our two strikers are pretty hilarious (if you don't laugh, you'll cry).

In league football Michael Symes has scored 17 goals since 2002, and Craig Lindfield has scored 3 since 2006.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams

coleman lovers come and shot me down down down non league he we come we will be like a rock .

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Grimps... Were all brassed off and disappointed but we need to focus on tomorrow's game without Paul.. I hope you will be there to back the lads.

Come on Stanley

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

....bloody hell...now we'll have to face the bald eagle 3 times this season!

Begs the question as to what wages he was on, if you can also bring in 3 at the expence of 1...

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

i will but how many will not

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Grimps I am not a 'Coleman Lover', however this time I have a sneaky feeling that J.C. would not have had much of a say in this decision, I think (dont know for sure tho) we need to look higher up the chain.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

need new chain for broad room

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

There's no way Paul has gone there just to have a chance of playing at Wembley,and he has not let the fans down in any way - you only need to read tonights LET to know he obviously didn't have a clue what was going on.
This is purely about saving his wages for a bit, Paul will have known that him going out on loan will ease the clubs finances for a while and that's the reason he has said yes to the move, after all when all the Shrewbury stuff was going on he said that he was happy to stay at Stanley but if ever the club wanted him to go then he would put the club before his own feelings and that is obviously what's happened.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

20th march 2009, the day loyalty died!

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Surely we can't be saving much on wages if we've just brought 3 players in?

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

we're probably paying less than half of micheal symes shrewsbury town wages, we've probably got adam kay for nowt and the non league keeper is probably just happy to be here and as such is probably on less a week than jobseekers!!!

Not rocket science to figure out we've just saved a bit on wages is it?

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

On whos part?

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

I thought Dyson pulling the West Indies team off for bad light was stupid till I read this news. Reaarange the words "in cofffin the nail" .:eek:
Negativity from a mod, come on in ,the waters lovely!

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

grow up.:(

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

This is true Cashy !....Paul will not be with us tomorrow...who can say why the move was sanctioned, but it has, and THAT IS THAT !!.
BUT....'The Red's' still need the points, and whatever Team steps out on 'the hallowed turf' tomorrow will, knowing the quality of the opposition, need the support of the loyal
1000 as much as ever !!.
So without forgetting Paul's valuable and valued contribution over the years, and ignoring the prophets of doom who are already writing the incoming loanees off..
An assurance from every true fan that we are all behind our team is really required...
so let's hear it.....
' ON STANLEY....ON !!'

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

1) thanks paul for your sterling service to the club. We will no doubt miss you, not least for your outstanding loyalty and willing towards the stanley cause.
2) its about time we looked to the future. Mullers has been less effective this year: maybe its his age, but i think other clubs have us figured out. We have played best this year when we have bossed the midfield and kept the ball on the deck, but often we still lump it to pm instead. We will be forced to change tactics now. That will bring us results

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Wow, 129 posts, can't read them all.

So, good luck Paul Mullin.

All the best, you've been awesome, plus some.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Yeah oh wise one, sorry about that.

Mullin ain't just another player. Using my head it is easy to see reasons why he would like a shot at a "big club". It is easy to see why Coleman would not stand in his way. It is easy to see that it could make financial sense.

However, as a football romantic... I yearn for a time when loyalty is valued above ££££ notes.

That time, even at lowly Accrington, has gone..........

PS Its prob more childish to respond to my point of view with just........."grow up" :mosher:

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

its probably nowt to do with loyalty, more like economics, n as fer my response,thats all yer worth IMHO.:rolleyes:

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

OK, FFS grow up.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Sparkie - I completely agree with you.

It would appear that this has been done to save some money. Rightly or wrongly it would appear that those higher up have concluded that in all liklihood Stanley will remain a League club this season.

As money is obviously very tight, and with Mullin presumably being one of the top earners at the club, they have decided to save on his wages for a few months.

Although 3 players have been brought in, the keeper was brought in on a non contract basis (presumably meaning he is here as an amateur, in which case he will likely be due expenses only). Of late I have read a few articles about how good the clubs relationship is with Burnley - I strongly suspect that Burnley will continue to pay the wages of Kay whilst he is here as they are just glad that the boy is getting experience at a decent level (as opposed to reserve football), and as you suggested, the club will likely only be paying a percentage of the wages to Shrewsbury for Symes.

All in all I think its a cost cutting exercise for a few months. With the poor form of Grimsby and Chester, and the reasonable gap between Stanley and both those clubs, I simply dont think that they both have it in them to overtake Stanley - infact I still think Stanley will win at least 2 more games anyway making it pretty much academic what the rest do.

It is that reason, and the savings that will be made, that contributed to Mullin's exit for a while.

Granted all of the above is pure speculation on my part, but it would appear the obvious explanantion as to why he is away on loan. Incidentally I am no way downplaying the importance of such a player to the club, both currently and historically, simply trying to offer a realistic explanantion to his departure.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

that was my response to your post, but not to worry Willie yer half way there, ya can read n write.:D when yer learn to digest what you have actually written ya will be there.:rolleyes:

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

So, I was worrying about getting the fabulously priced season ticket.

Well, worry no more. :p

Of course they'd thought that through, and were prepared to take the drop in demand.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Absolutely nothing would question Muller's loyalty towards the cause of A.S.F.C.-

More of a case of somebody higher in the chain of command seeing an opportunity to get a TOP EARNER off the books,for what they would hope to be seen as a "temporary measure".


Truth is, if Bradford are successful in getting out of League Two with his services, will Mullin want to return ??? Answers on a postcard for attention of........??:confused:


Fill in the rest if you will, but what can the club expect ??, with home gates LOWER than numerous Blue Square / Conference sides.

I'm not wishing to defend whoever has sanctioned this deal and nobody would begrudge Mullers for trying to better himself. However, the timing stinks.:(


Many have said the club has been taking "educated gambles". I.E. not splashing out cash on signings this season, gambling on points deductions to other teams securing our league status this season, etc,etc etc.


This could be one gamble that could, in effect, bury a final nail in a coffin that many critics have been waiting to see "finally put to rest".:(

With our Talisman gone, the man who was the inspiration and linchpin behind our meteoric rise back to the league and indeed staying in the league,now departed,with survival by no way assured, what price our demise back to the depths of non league obscurity??? If not this season, next?? What effect will this have on squad morale, supporter morale???:confused:

Answers on the same post card.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

he's gone to Grimsby until end of season..

Just gets worse IMHO :(

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Yeah, I saw that yesterday. It means that Conlon has the chance to score against yet again this season. :rolleyes:

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Bradford City's take on his departure:

Mullin replaces Conlon up front (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

I must say, this has come as a shock to me, but PM has not been scoring of late and JImmy Ryan has. The new signings look good especially Mick Symes so that should mix things up a bit. Also how many teams play us week in week out thinking PM is the target man (which he was) lets mark him out of the game. New blood, different way of playing, confuse the opposition. Good Luck to the team today and for the remainder of the season. For those of you who think it is bad, how many recently praised a certain EW for keeping the club in the black? Maybe this is just part and parcel of the savings, we will never know. Panic me, not yet anyway

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Well I have got over the shock and I have slept on it and today is a new day... My feelings about it now are .... Its still a crock :(

Has anyone got one good reason other than he wants to? One good reason for accy stanley? cus I ahve a bucket load as to why he should still be here.. Money... we have to pay wages to the ones in you know...Amazing how many of you are now saying he wasnt even up to the job... funny cus Bradford thinks he is and by the fact that he was being picked for stanley.. coley thinks he is as well.

total crock so stop making petty excuses perlease :(

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

If he has gone as some people have put because we get to save a few ££££ and we might of got a loan fee for him, doesn't that say something about the money the club have because how come we never did it last year or the year before that. The club must be really desperate for money to do this to a good striker. 10 pages in one day says something about how the fans feel and the club will have alot to answer for. Walking on the terrace today i think thier will be an air of sadness, confusion, i wonder how coley feels about this, did he have any say in it, did he know they wanted him on loan or did he just get a call saying Mullin wont be in training hes gone bradford for a couple of months. Coley has done some amazing things for the club, but for the board to do this to him (thats if coley did not agree to the matter) than what relationship does that show! Does coley really deserve losing the best striker the club has even if he has not been scoring of late.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

yer entitled to think that, my good reason is he aint been cutting it this season. that simple.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

In a decent team P.M. will shine , given the right service.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Fans have the right to voice their opionion on this ....

However, yet again on here, that opinion is shouted down by the few. That is why less & less post on here. Your opinion may be different then mine but I wouldn'tbe arrogant enough to tell you that you are wrong.

My thoughts :-

Mullin wouldn't go unless he wanted to, therefore I question his loyalty when we are in the middle of a relegation scrap.
JC will not stop any player moving on if they want to. That his the basis for his sales pitch to get players in.
The "suits" have to balance the books, if this is the real reason then lets say so.........

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

theres the arrogance which you wouldn't be willie, try learning what words mean.:rolleyes:

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Those quotes just highlight my point :confused:

Try highlighting the one when my opinion was quashed with a "grow up"

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

The back of the LET says and i quote

"Eric Whalley insists there is a strong possibility that Accrington Stanley supporters have not seen that last of Paul Mullin in a Reds shirt. A section of Stanley fans yesterday vented thier anger on website messageboards over the clubs decision to let Accrington favourite Mullin join League Two rivals Bradford City until end of the season" it goes onto say about the loans we brought in than says
"But questions have been raised over whether thise additions adequately compensate the loss off Mullin.... The move does prove financially beneficial for Stanley, as Bradford pay Mullin's full wages and an additional fee to accrington for each apperance the striker makes. however stanley chairman whalley insists it was mullin's burning desire for a new challenge that twisted the club's arm to relinquish thier star striker. the manager coleman didn't want to let him go, but it was Pauls decision to move to bradford said whallet it was a chance of playing at wembley"

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

I think Mullins opinion on the deal should have been secondary......

Who will be at fault if we get relegated.......

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

there you are willie highlighted the one you asked for, which was in response to your silly quote n then ya have the arrogance to call mine childish,:rolleyes: you really are a silly child.:rolleyes:

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

As requested Jase, along with my reply to your original quote.............IMHO you sounded like a 5yr old who couldnt get His own way...........Hence the rather curt replies from both myself and Cashy.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

I am always interested in Jase's contributions to this Forum and I for one hope he keeps posting.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

why on earth shouldn't he Haggis? people disagree with me, but me toys stay in the pram.:D

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Yeah, I questioned Mullins loyalty and was told to grow up.......

Couldn't give a toss how I come across TBH

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Posted via Mobile Device I think its more to the clubs benefit than paul's imho if paul was banging them in week in week out then i dont think the club would of let him go to easily. The club seem to be struggling to stay in the black & the season tickets arn't going to plan. The club ignore fans & was a Rubbish announcement.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

I still think Paul's opinion on this move WAS secondary, no-one will convince me otherwise than that the financial part of it was the real reason behind it. If only the club would admit it, I would have more respect for them right now.

Posted via Mobile Device thing is unfortunately there's no such thing as loyalty anymore be it club or player, the only people that do have more loyalty is the fans! Think thats the upsetting part.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Exactly Diane, then fans like me would n't be questioning his loyalty to the red shirt!

Relegation haunts his parent club, yet he says "I fancy a day out at Wembley......"

No, but its what we have been told so

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

that aint what the bradford manager says, re haggis link, the way i see it, hes lost his pace, aint been very prolific this time, aint laid that many on either, gives 110% great servant, no question about that, so i weigh all that up n its a good deal to me.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

He was the one who got in front of his man & released Miles in the run up to the opener against Macc. He is also a legend.

Some things you cannot get your head around, this is one....

Its financial & I just wish the club would say so, then Mullin could be put back on the pedestal marked "loyal footballer"

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

He never had any! Even in the Unibond!

But he gets fitter every season IMHO

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

agree he was never the quickest, but fer me was sure quicker a couple of yrs ago. Stanley need money thats beyond doubt, punching above their weight but are potless, the loyalty to see the club get by in the light of their financial state over rides any other loyalty to me.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

:(When i first heard the news,which wasn't until late afternoon,it was one of disbelive and of sadness and anger that a player of pauls status and being the clubs only main striker would be loaned out at this stage of the season. Having had time to think things over and read through all the posts and those off the bradford forum. paul will be mist can't get away from that but a new challange waits him self and for stanley,i wish him well over at bradford,andhope we don't have a mullin hangover today and that everyone gets behind the lads on the pitch and behind the club:)

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

thats the way it should be mab, hope yer right n the sulkers get behind whoever replaces him.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Paul Mullin clearly had nothing to do with this deal except for helping out the club's financial woes by going on loan.

Has anyone seen the Lancashire Telegraph from last night? Paul was joking about not letting Jimmy pass him in the scoring charts for too long. That article will have been put together on Thursday. Come Friday he wants a kick-about at Wembley in a naff kit? Anyone who believes that needs their head feeling.

The official statement on Paul leaving comes from the business side of the club, not the management. The management put together some words through gritted teeth about Michael Symes and there passes another day at Accrington Stanley.

Paul Mullin gets better every season. His presence is immeasurable and invaluable. This leads to him being marked and targeted with greater hostility as the season wears on. To see him score any is an achievment with the batterings that lad has to take. His passing and positioning have improved greatly in the new year, and at this rate I'd envisage a one year extension onto his current deal. Perhaps a hint of sentiment there.

We've lost of our linchpin on loan, we haven't had time to learn a different style of play (let alone look forward to one), and we have brought in three duffers.

The team are going to need all our support this afternoon.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Three "duffers"? Based on what?

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

One reported duffer and two inexperienced unknowns. Better? :)

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

:)cheers cashy:)imho paul has done the right thing for him self and the club as a whole,i would think pm wages of around 2k a wk would ease the cash flow for the club

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Not sure its entirely different. Its the only other ground I can recall where the players change in a changing room block separate from the main stand in the corner of the ground.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

if folk want to protest, if folk want to sulk, if folk want to boycott....

let them, its their club. i for one will be fully behind Stanley but will let my feellings be known

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

So based on nothing substantial at all. Give these lads a chance.

When Symes first went to Shrewsbury he was a revelation. A skillful player, but one that has suffered from injuries and a loss of form. Who's the say he won't re-find it with us?

We might even be saying, "Paul who?", in a few weeks. ;)

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

I agree with TM.

When my other club returned to the top flight they took Lee Chapman who was thought to be finished at that level after duff periods at Arsenal and Sunderland for a knock down fee. The bloke was soon re-born and after a great spell at S6 went on to greater things with Leeds before moving to West Ham.

Symes has a good pedigree and is still only 25. The lad from Burnley must be good to make their bench so early. What's wrong about coming from Burscough? Evil began there. Who can forget their cup exploits only losing 3-0 against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane and great players like Bobby Langton who played for England.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Well I ahve seen every game home and away this season and I think his contribution is second to none.. Poeple keep calling him a striker yet he was never brought to the club as one.. he is a target man who can hold the ball up.. goals are a bonus.. I say he has done enough to be in the team every week.. Coleman says the same.. bradford think he is worth it and shrewsbury say the same...

But cashman has a different opinion to three league two clubs ... what do you base your opinions on cashman ?

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

yer kidding... the ground and facilities at bradford and the crowds ect... how can you even compare it to stanley.. its a different world... give over :)

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Your having a laff.. where do you get 2k a week from in PM wages... did you get hit on the head and the figure popped up ?

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

If the new keeper has to come on today and plays a blinder.. if the new midfielder sets up the new striker for a hatrick it would be fantastic.. If they so much as have a half decent game I will be happy... I hope they do ... But IT'S STILL A CROCK that paul mullin has lbeen loaned out.... all this about saving thousands a week on his wages and him not playing good enough.. what are you people on for gawds sake :(

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Yeah I am familiar with both grounds and my wife is a Bradfordian and I weigh my words. The key word is entirely.

Whatever the magnificence of the rest of Valley Parade its not entirely different - it has one feature in common with the Crown that Mullers can relate to ie it has a quaint changing room block tucked away in a corner separate from their main stands rather than the main stand tunnel arrangement that's so common elsewhere.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Nearly 4600 hits on this thread!

There's a link from the Bradford fans own thread which probably accounts for a lot of it.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

:rolleyes:ha ha ha the irony:D

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

From their threads. Where have we heard it before?

"It doesn't matter how good you are, you can't score goals if your team mates don't create chances for you. Mullin was restricted to one snatched 20 yard volley yet he took up some great positions and made countless well timed runs into the box that came to nothing because the standard of crossing was abysmal. On another day he might have had two or three, but that's football."

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

vindicated i believe. what happened has happened. no one is to blame in my opinion. its just football. at least we are not licking our wounds today though!

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

How old is he, 35? At this rate he'll be world class by the time he hits his sixtieth birthday.:rolleyes:

was really tempted to post that but feared the response!

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

Peeps, stop weeping and bleating. We won today with a team that is looking younger and hungrier. Get behind 'em. They played good today. That's what matters. Talismans like Mullin will come and go and we will have others. So come on ...we're on the up. Get your season ticket while the offer's good.

That should read yesterday. Few glasses of wine... Soave , nice

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

i base my opinions on being just a fan,who has watched football well oer 50 yrs, n speaking to quite a few at the F.E.S. today am not alone with that view, n your opinions based on what? the above?

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

I'm with Cashy on this one. As stated ealier , the team played good today, not brilliant, but ok. They started tentatively, not surprisingly but given good support they'll do good. The king is dead and all that. All I would say to K-P is that he's already pointed out that Mullers is 35? Even if he were to complete his contract (another 12 months) , how many games is he gonna realistically play ? Everybody has to move on, don't they? Burnley still exist after McIlroy.....MU after Charlton & Best......Preston after Finney

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

the subject is paul mullin this yr...

You say he isnt up to it this season.. you base that opinion on what you saw 50 yrs ago


i say he is up to it and i base my opinion on seeing every game he played this season.


duh!

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

reamer... why dont well sell kenny arthur then.. or anyone/everyone else ? if its all about get rid and survive? what about keeping good players in case you need them... isnt that an option.... yes hes 35 and i would wonder how much steam he has left... but my worry is/was/is the rest of this season..


but hey... stick with cashy if ya like.. he saw mullin play 50 yrs ago :)

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

No disrespect to you Reamer( by the way axe the tax is good) but teams are not just about youth but balance between youth'n experience.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

The post-Mullin period got off to a great start yesterday. Let's move on. We've lost players before and we haven't crumbled.

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

One of the busiest threads of the season..all these people wanting to talk about it but you want them to stop.. try not to take this the wrong way but...my arnt we feeling important :)

I say let the people posting decide if they want to stop... the thread will slowly sink to the bottom of the page and off to the land of the fairies when the people decide theres nothing left to talk about... not when you feel its time.


we lose a player of paul mullins ability for no good reason other than he wanted to go.. opinion is divided and i say the club should ahve said NO and kept hold in case we needed him. I say the club is far more important than pauls needs.

haha but thats all OK becasue we won a game... what a nice simplistic world that is :)

Re: Mullers Gone To Bantams
 

no i do not all i did was answer yer question, what i have seen this season of paul mullen is a guy who trys his heart out, but is past it. if that dont sit well with you tough.:) also i have witnessed as a teenager the DEATH of stanley through Financial Mismangement,which as a kid is heartbreaking, but thats summat you would not know i reckon. so i'm a realist n reckon taking everything into account it was the best move fer the club.

K-P...try not to take this the wrong way but...you need help :rolleyes:


Slerpy, thanks for the PM and I take your point about experience/youth balance but the team deserve credit for the way they played yesterday with everything seemingly stacked against them , they pulled off an excellent win

Why:confused:

Everybody was a little shaky before KO and when we went 1-0 down the usual shower of s***e who are currently on loan to the Clayton End from the cowshed were all cackling and moaning, but I thought from then on Stanley did'nt sit back and give up like they usually would and on a few occasions looked quit dangerous atacking. Paul may have been Mr Accy Stanley, but no player should be bigger than the club itself and there are plenty of other players to play:cool:
