BBC Sport - Future is bright for Accrington Stanley :)

still no 'flesh on the bones' so to speak. I'm looking forward to whether this ever happens but the big day will be the unveiling of plans. That is the day that this club and its fans can start to get giddy.

Re: Late Kick Off Tonight
 

I'm giddy now mate, never expected this position pre-season.:)

I was enjoying that video until the last 15 or so seconds. All credit to the players for keeping going, but if I was one of them I'd be looking to move on to another club at the end of the season.

Re: Late Kick Off Tonight
 

Absolutely.

I found the closing seconds quite dark and threatening; these lads have been exemplary on and off the pitch; they are Accrington Stanley’s reason for being. Putting out this sort of media is an insult to what they have achieved this season in my opinion. If this continues these lads may well take us into League One only to leave and disperse across the leagues.

Stop talking about building new stadia; it’s pointless when we can’t look after our own. Invest in what we have now “Our Players and their Managers” or someone else will.

It was such an upbeat report until then. All very odd :confused:

Won't play over here (BBC rights issue or some such) :mad: can someone give me the scuttlebutt please ? Thanks.

I read it has "one more balls up on the wages front, and i'm off" John Coleman looked and sounded particularly angry to me. Every other club in the North West has now been alerted to this, two of which are still on the lookout for a manager.

Re: Late Kick Off Tonight
 

Quite upbeat as people say till the last little bit

My own thoughts at this stage are also reflected in that at the moment we are a way off any new stadium.

We have to work with what we have got in terms of facilities, supports & sponsorship opportunities things that make the place tick now on a day to day, yes no stone should be unturned in making it viable and self sufficient but at the moment everything is from a clean slate and we need to stabilise and build on what we have first & foremost get that support pushed up towards the 2000 mark and keep it there.

We are on the verge of something in terms of play-off spots here and anything that takes the focus away from that is not good.

This is the second time that this has been published or spoken in the press/media. Personally, whilst I have every sympathy for the team/management, I do not beleive they should be looking to the press/media to air their grievances, my own opinion is they should be looking to the directors and chairperson to moan to. Bad form in my book. Keep these problems in house but keep up the form on the field. When the manager says he is trying to keep the players away from these problems how on earth can he, they know if they have not been paid.

Re: Late Kick Off Tonight
 

Fantastic report........... until the last 20 seconds or so.

Please somebody sort this mess once and for all :(

Re: Late Kick Off Tonight
 

Absolutely agree with your post Ozzy & have to say I find it strange that it has only been spoken of in this way to the press since the takover was completed, never once did they mention it when the last regime was letting them down time & time again & we all know who paid the wages on those occasions so why would they doubt him now? :confused:

May be the owd cynic in me, but it looks to me like someone is trying to work it up Mr Khan?:rolleyes:
