Rochdale say they are not interested in putting a bid in for Paul Mullin

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Not big enough but Liverpool are looking for someone to partner Torres and Man Utd will need to replace Tevez.................:rolleyes:;)

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

I don't think anybody will be interested in putting a bid in unless they are not in their right mind.

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

As the Don say's I'm sure Coleman will be capable of keeping us in the League, with a reduced budget, but what about the long suffering fans? How many years have we to put up with second rate players, and hanging on to our League status. I for one don't think I can put up with another season of only just surviving. How can he expect the attendances to rise if that is his outlook at least we knew where we were with Eric no spending unless absolutely necessary in fact no thing for the fans.As one can see I am feeling very disillusioned over this whole affair.

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

That's a very bleak outlook, even to me.
The standard of football in the Stanley team is increasing every season that we're in the Football League, and I would wager that attendances will be parallel with that steady increase over the coming years.
As long as we're not here for a Dale-esque duration, I'm happy to be hanging on in here!

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Being a Stanley fan would be no fun if we knew we would stay in the league year after year, Not knowing what is going to happen week after week - Results, Players, etc etc makes it much more fun! I agree the standard of football has been very high this year, i think the squad can only go from strength to strength but we just need an extra 200k

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Found this bit quite surprising !!!



Mullin has been made available by Stanley as they bid to cut their wage bill by 25 per cent next season, with the 35-year-old still tied down to a further year on his contract.

The Reds were willing to offer the forward a new two-year contract if he took a substantial pay cut but Mullin felt unable to accept the deal.


Would have thought he would have jumped at 2 YEAR DEAL :confused: Must have been a really poor deal......

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Don't think that Torres would be a good partner for Mullers ;) And would hate to see him at the other place :p :):) Will be sorry to see him go.....

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

As a few have mentioned there will be lots of players out of contract, some not so good, some average and some very good.

Deals will have to be worked very hard at, it is very much a fresh challenge for all involved and must be viewed as such:)

If the correct balance can be struck with the nucleus of what we already have and a couple of decent additions, I think there is no reason why the "Reds" can't be challenging at the top end of the table

Times are a changing but to a degree at League 2 level, I think it will be a lot more of a level playing field than previous seasons

What could be more rewarding than finding another "Jimmy Ryan" or bringing through another "Chris Turner":)

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

A little harsh I think....

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Confused. You mean you'd rather we were relegated, then had another season like 05/06? But if we did that we'd be promoted back to where we can only just survive, so the attendance would drop again ....Or do you want a miraculous promotion from L2, followed by a season of not surviving in L1, so the attendance would drop again.

Of course it's more fun when we're winning, but by definition it can't happen every year .... :confused:

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Tranmere Rovers defender Luke Waterfall who was a January loan target for Stanley has been released along with Burnley born midfielder Adnan Ahmed.

Burnely Midfielder Adam Kay has not ruled out a permanent move to Accrington Stanley this summer. As he is out of contract in the summer.

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Reality sometimes is a little harsh.

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

LT says that Kay is still hoping for a new contract with Burnley, but if he don't get it, I'd like to see him back at Stanley. Only saw him the once against Chesterfield and although he got injured and went off early , he showed some nice touches. Good control and passing ability

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Bobby Grant and Peter Murphy have agreed new one year deals. With Phil Edwards is close to tying up his own contract renewall on a two year deal.

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

We keep being told that players have agreed new deals but we haven't been told that anybody has actually 'signed' a new deal

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Kay won't rule out switch

Players agree contracts

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Has anybody actually SIGNED a contract yet ?

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

I dont think so! Think they are waiting until the take over until they offically sign but how long is the take over going to be?

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

All good news, when they all sign up.......:):):)

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Edwards yes please - Grant and Murphy no thanks. We could do much better, IMHO

...meanwhile, Coley struggles with a reduced budget.

I know there's nowt to be done about it, but it really depresses me, especially the last few words. :(

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Am sure most of the people that have jumped on the band-wagon as they only get an average of 13k every home game but have sold 36,000 tickets for wembley will be jumping pn our band-wagon next year when we make it to wembley.

Meanwhile in the LET it says some interest in Mullin since it was made public that he was available

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Makes you wonder how many will stay with them if they don't win on Monday?

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Bit harsh to judge Peter Murphy, he got seriously injured early on in the season so we haven't had chance to see what he can or can't do - I think he deserves his chance.

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

I think they deserve a chance to prove themselves really, Murphy has not had any chance this season and Bobby has not really had a run since his injury. Better off with young kids that you have knowledge of and lets face it we have not got the cash to go looking for others..

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Says in Observer Coley is also in talks with Chris King and Jay Bell. Personally I think that keeping Jay Bell is a complete waste of money, unless we are only paying him national minimum wage for a couple of hours work a week. Even that would be too much. If his name wasn't Bell he wouldn't be at Stanley or with any other football club except, maybe a Sunday league pub team. He isn't and never will be a footballer.

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Thought that King was under contract for another year ???? Agree about Bell though.

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

Do better could we?

Coley has said in the Observer quite openly that we could not afford the wages of the likes of Hurst or Lowe, and that we have no transfer budget with which to buy any players, even Kieran Charnock.

We can pay Grant & Murphy peanuts while seeing what potential they have in league football.

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

According to today's Telegraph, Phil Edwards has agreed a one year deal but is stalling on a two year deal - but yet to sign. Also Stanley are supposed to be interested in Godwin Antwi and Darran Kempson.

Re: Player Wages and Availability
 

I know in this day of "Money Money Money" that it will not happen, but I would really really love it if, some of the "Big Boys" - Premiership - could find it within them to say to someone like Lindfield (I use him as he told me he had enjoyed himself and would like to come back!) if you want to go back to Stanley, you can, Parent club pays basic wage (Which is peanuts to a club that size) an then Stanley would be able to offer attractive package on appearances, wins, goals Etc. The same could apply to The Clarets, I know it is only the first time they will be in the PL, but all the talk of £40M+ for the season, if Adam Kay want's to come and play regular footy, what would it cost Burnley to do the same??? Maybe £10K for the year.... Not alot really in the grand scheme of things...

I know that Stanley have no devine right for anything and I also understand that no other club should have to, but I suppose I just think that it would just be a great thing in footy for Teams/Clubs to help one another instead of the usual way of trying to always get one over one another. When was the last time footy was in the spotlight for something good in the game??? It's usually "Drinking, Fighting, Money, Drugs" the list goes on... I know that I am rambling on in a dreamworld, but wouldn't it be nice for once..:)
