... a compensation package is currently being negotiated
 

like heck it should be 'being negotiated'

stick to your guns Khan/Marsden/Hey/Brendabehindthebar or whoever else might be doing the negotiating.

3 1/2 years left on their contract x however much quids you pay them = the full amount and nothing else.

The club standpoint (and has to be for a club like ours) that we won't stand in anybodies way of an upward move. Fine, but don't sell us short and make sure that we get everything we deserve.

Rochdale made £265k out of Hill going to Barnsley and we shold be entitled to something siimilar. The rumours of £70k are a joke and if that is true then not another penny of mine will go into the till.

We've done our bit out of loyalty and respect to the pair that they we were allowed to talk to Dale without us telling them to sling their hooks. The loyalty and respect ends now though and unless Rochdale pay up then no deal should be entered into. Rochdale want Coley, the fans want Coley and they'd be pretty daft to argue the toss over the quids now.

I hope Accy get as much as they possibly can! I fear for you even though coleman isn't my favourite person I think he has done an amazing job at Accy.

Will leave this as a seperate thread for today, will need to be merged with coleman thread later:)

"I fear for you"
A bit patronizing I think :eek:

Do you know much about Stanleys Past.

ON STANLEY:alright: ON

Re: ... a compensation package is currently being negotiated
 

I'd have thought compensation was pretty much agreed before Accy gave Dale permission to speak to Coleman. It's probably the finer details of the compensation that is being negotiated i.e. lump sum/installments, potential clauses for survival/promotion.

Previous comments from Ilyas Khan (released through the media) suggest Accy won't scupper the deal on compensation out of respect for Coleman. It's admirable, and very rare in football these days.

I never meant it to be in anyway patronizing! I have a soft spot for stanley but losing your captain and your management team in the space of a few days is not good!

Re: ... a compensation package is currently being negotiated
 

I can't see Mr Khan saying that. Because he is the one who will have to bail the club out if the compensation is low and as a result we lose games and crowds fall even further. We should get FULL compensation, if John really wants to go and Rochdale want him they should "put up" or "shut up".

Re: ... a compensation package is currently being negotiated
 

You are probably right about it not being a good situation but as any fan of the Stanley will tell you it,s always a roller coaster ride with the mighty reds, we will get over this shock dust ourselves down and carry on the fight.

Sorry, just read it carefully and don't get the same meaning as you. It's not what is said but what isn't said. Doesn't mention money once or a figure. Anyhow, you can afford it. Big club like Rochdale. Should make next years game against you very tasty!

Re: ... a compensation package is currently being negotiated
 

Fair enough, I suppose it's open to interpretation. I'm still struggling to see what else the statement "we would do our best to ensure that in the unlikely event that John chooses to move on, we will bend over backwards to do what is right for John and Jimmy Bell" could mean, but it matters not.

We're not a big club, just a bigger club on this occasion. Like I said, I'm not here to gloat or antagonize, so I'll leave it at that.

Re: ... a compensation package is currently being negotiated
 

I hope for all the effort the board will have put in to keep Coley and Bell (sarcasm) then they will not lie down in compensation, they must ask for a lot and refuse to lie down. They must also not be jumping into finding a replacement, afterall im in no doubts coleman has had to put up with alot in his time here despite his brilliance from the sidelines, therefore a new manager must be able to work with, at times, poor communication from behind the scenes, and be able to work with a shoestring budget
