Late Kick Off Tonight

[football19]

Outback,to a certain point I agree,how do u know the PFA were not contacted?,how do u know these people were not approached and give false promises?, there lads don't have agents ,only the gaffer,and I would imagine he's sick of it,hence goin public ,remind me who's favorite word is transparency ?,
The only positive thing to come out of this is the players and managers attitude,which is based on honesty and respect

Same applies here. If I wasn't paid for my work I would not go to the Accy Observer, LET or LEP or even the BBC, I would go to my pay office at the County Council or even my local office where I work (this is where I would start, only going higher if I did not get a satisfactory answer! but under no circumstances would I go to the press.). Surely whoever is the players representative should be approaching a. Rob Heys, b. Peter Marsden, c. Ilyas Khan (in no particular order) to sort out the mess!

I’m not against what you’re saying Ossy, under normal circumstances I would agree with you. However, I get the impression from Coley’s comments and the way in which they have been delivered that all what you say has been done to no avail. Why would John Colman jeopardise his standing, reputation and or position at the club if this wasn’t a serious issue that needed airing in order to get a resolve.

Football19; how much transparency are you expecting; from what I can see there’s less coming out of the club than there was this time last year and most of that is second-hand.

I am not knocking anyone; I do not doubt the sincerity of the club or the new board but I can’t get over all hype of backing the boys when there not being paid. Coley said that this was the third time in a row that they had been promised payment before a game and each time it had not happened. If John or any of the players walked now we would be up in arms, if there’s any form of transparency at Accrington Stanley our players should be paid and an explanation given has to why our promotion chances are being jeopardise and our players dishonoured.

As for Coley using the media the way he has; well it’s no more than what was done two years ago and he’s not branding anyone. He just wants his lads paid and their service to Accrington Stanley Honoured.

Don’t see it cashy, I don’t have any problem with Mr. Khan, quite the opposite, I have the utmost respect for what he’s done for the club and all of us. I had expected that someone would try and personalise this; I am however surprised it was you.

This thread is not and never has been about Ilyas Khan or his ownership of the club. It’s about our team being on the verge of a playoff place or better still automatic promotion and the fact that up until Saturday morning they had not being paid; looking at Coley’s body language and the tone of his response to camera I wouldn’t want anyone to wait too long before resolving this issue. All the recent publicity about backing the boys is meaningless if they themselves are getting into arrears in their personal lives, sooner or later key people won’t care about who owns the club or is responsible for not paying their wages; they will have gone..

cant argue with that Doug. Pay the players 1st and don't risk upsetting the applecart. The taxman gives up nearly a month!
