could it be ? :-

Morecambe | News | Latest from Christie Park | News | McIlroy hoping to add to the squad this week

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Nah.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Hope not....

Re: Paul Mullin
 

it appears he didn't come on in your game against the Shrews on Saturday.

How can that be explained ?

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Strained neck muscle.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

and you believe that ?

Re: Paul Mullin
 

YES! have you seen how long his neck is? :rolleyes:

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Michael Symes, Mullin's replacement on Saturday, was having a really good game and scored a great goal. There was no reason for Mullin to come on, injured or not.

As was said on other threads, if Mullin leaves then he'll do so with the gratitude of every Stanley fan. However, I don't think there'll be the kind of fervour shown as when he left for Bradford last season.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Theres no room for sentiment within the football league. One goal every 4 games and the biggest wage in the team. 35 years of age and one hell of a servant to the club. If you want him you can have him aslong as we get to give him a testimonial.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Gone.


See fishy

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Well he's gone now, now on fishy site

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Any idea on the fee ?

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Details 'undisclosed' I hear, though I'd have thought getting rid of his wage would have been good enough news for Accy.
Problem will have been Paul agreeing to join someone else, on whatever they were offering, when we all know he was on a good deal with you.
Hope this is seen as a good move for all parties and that perhaps you can maybe bring a loanee or two in now, with a contribution to their wages. I think the 'loan' window is still open isn't it?

Good luck for the season.

Mullin signs for Shrimps - Morecambe Today

Seeing Paul in another Red shirt must feel quite sad...almost as if it were our Twissy in reverse.

No doubt a sad day for some of you guys, but maybe it was time for him to move on as he says.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Good luck Paul, but I am not too disapointed to see you go,its onwards and upwards for Stanley.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

..just as an after thought, I wonder what JC and JB think of this deal?

JB sounded pretty adament that no such deal would happen. Has this been decided by the Board that the deal had to happen thereby underminding both JC and JB. I hope not for JC's sake. A legend at CP.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Loan window isnt anywhere near shut IRC. We turned down a substanstial amount last season.. so i would expect the fee to have some figure.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Gutted :( Obviously couldnt afford his wages even though we tried...

Time to change my signature :(

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Paul Mullin
 

I think we could afford his wages Jimbo , its just that since his move to Bradford as stanley fans i think we could sense a different mood with Paul. Also we have been playing so so much better at the end of last season and the games this season without Paul!

Its time for him to move on and the club knows it, the fans know it and so does Paul.

Everyone knows how much of a legend this guy actually is, id be here all day typing it!

Good Luck Paul! :)

Re: Paul Mullin
 

I doubt it. There's a lot of bluff and bluster in these kind of situations, people talking things up to get an outcome...


JC - always a legend :notworthy

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Gotta wish him all the best in the world, but fer me its the best outcome all round.:)

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Gutted with this news :( But not surprised to be honest, really, really hope it works out for Mullers - apart from playing Stanley :D - the worst thing for me is no testimonial for such a true servant :( :(

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Shortly I'm going to be on 2BR talking about this transfer etc. and we'll also have some thoughts from Coley on the situation...

In tomorrow night's coverage we'll then have an extended interview, plus a tribute to Paul's Stanley career.

But if all things go to plan you should hear me and Coley on 99.8FM 2BR or at 2br - Home Page in the next 15 minutes.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Gutted. The financial benefits are obvious as in my opinion (as much as the management have said in the press that they want Paul to stay) the club have been trying to whore him out for the best part of a year. On the footballing side I think this move will prove to be highly regrettable; most know that I think Paul still has a lot to offer on the pitch, but behind the scenes I think the strikers we have contracted to the club (Symes and King) could definitely use the input and influence of Paul Mullin. Couldn't bear seeing Mullers play against us. I hope no idiot gives him stick when he does.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

I would be amazed if anybody did :eek: But if somebody did, I would think they would regret it ;) :)

Re: Paul Mullin
 

whilst it may be true that Paul has a lot to offer in terms of experience and 'coaching' the younger lads, that wouldn't be worth what Paul is/was paid - that can only be purely down to what happens over the ninety minutes. From that point of view we have had the best of him and for that I truly thank him for his exceptional service and professionalism over the last 10 years.

From a personal point of view I am gutted cos I sponsored his shirt this year!!!! never mind at least I can get it earlier!

Good luck Paul. I hope you still get 20 goals this year but obviously Morecambe still have to finish below us

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Macca I am sure if you have a word with the Morecambe Commercial director you will be able to sponsor him !

Seriously I am very excited about seeing him in our team. We dreaded playing against him.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

on yer bike sonny :D

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Absolutely gutted, not much else to say - sad day at Stanley :(

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Good business, we have had the best of him. Good Luck in the future...

A legend, but Accrington Stanley FC have a new chapter starting today......

In Coleman I Trust

Re: Paul Mullin
 

if we get 25,000 its good money pays taxman . 35 years old . top man good luck accycombe fc

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Pretty much echo this statement, I think when we play with Paul upfront, we tend to play Hoof-Ball, and this does'nt work for us at all, we play our best football on the ground, There's no arguing what Paul has done for the club, excellent servant, but I think it's time for a new appproach for the team.

Good luck Muller's!

Re: Paul Mullin
 

I doubt if we'd pay that amount for him. In fact I'd think it more likely we've taken the guy of your wage bill and handed over only a modest fee...if in fact a fee at all!

Re: Paul Mullin
 

I'd agree with that CC. A good move all round and I think it's the best for everyone. Always sad when a true legend moves on, but hopefully this will herald another chapter of our new dawn (whatever that brings in the short term).

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Do we read anything into the fact that the front of his shirt appears to read "Bench"? ;)

Good luck Paul, and thanks for all you did for the Stanley. Top man - welcome back any time.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Rub salt into the wound why don't you - whatever you've paid for Paul you've definately got a bargain and your gain is definately our loss.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Sorry AccyMad, certainly no harm intended.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Transfer window is open until 5pm tomorrow. The 'Loan' window usually opens a week after for football league clubs.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Mullin has always given us a hard time in the past so i am quite happy he is not going to be playing against us on sat but in the long run i do think this is the best think for stanley.

you can use the money (wages to maybe tap up blackburn or burnley for a striker on loan or dare i say liverpool or everton) who can score at a better rate than mullin has done over the last 2 seasons as for an outsider looking in without having any affection for a fan favourite i think its a good deal and i hope i am proved right and you do finish above morecambe

Re: Paul Mullin
 

I reckon there's absolutely no chance whatsoever of that happening. We have our rivalries but we know that Stanley fans know their foootball, support their team properly and respect their legends, whoever they go on to play for.

I'd be staggered if anyone from Accy did anything other than give him a very loud and warm reception when we play you.

Don't worry about him getting stick - it won't happen.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Agent Mullin your task is now clear good luck and gods speed!

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Are you real loweiy? ya just blown his cover.:D

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Sad to see a Stanley legend go, but times move on and so do players....

But will always remember Paul Mullin aka Mr Accy Stanley .. Mr Shrimper really doesn't have the same ring :cool:

Good luck Paul and thanks but please get another neck strain when it comes to the stanley match please :D

Re: Paul Mullin
 

:biggrin8::biggrin8:

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Hard to imagine a better 'club man' than Paul Mullin. I hope that Paul realises that the Stanley fans say goodbye to PM the player with a deal of appreciation and affection (in a manly sort of way of course !). Who knows, when he stops playing we might value Paul in a different role back at Stanley. Hope the club can give him a decent testimonial.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Hope so, too. Reckon he deserves it more than any Stanley player in recent history. Testimonials aren't usually well-attended at Stanley (sometimes embarrassingly so), but Paul's so well-regarded that I reckon most of the 900-1,000 loyalists would turn up.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Too true Wyn!...I for one would be there...with Bells on !!, and Alfred.E. wouldn't miss it for anything, being a devoted fan of the great Paul !!.

Incidentally, like so many more of his admirers on our forum, I wish Paul all the luck for his continuing career with 'the Shrimps'. A real Footballer, and a Gentleman to boot!.

'What me worry?'....Not just yet!.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

I guess we'll have to buy some decent light bulbs with John looking like he's going to have to retire.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

I suppose Paul playing for Morecambe will have sorted out the opposition for his testimonial.

And does this open the door for Craig Lindfield?

And thanks, Paul, for everything you've done for Stanley. I always wanted to see you playing in the league. Nine years ago, I never imagined that you would do it in a Stanley shirt.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Lindfield was mentioned on 2BR tonight.

Re: Paul Mullin
 

i like this post on Shrimpsvoices tonight

Mullin is great in the air, which means that it is often too tempting for our defence to launch it towards him
oh well

Re: Paul Mullin
 

What a twist !

Re: Paul Mullin
 

nah, twist was a 2nd half substitute for Jevons!

Re: Paul Mullin
 

Git!
