Colby Bishop leaving

[widnes viking]

Looks pretty certain after listening to JC on Twitter. I know we are are ever destined to be a selling club but it’s damn annoying all the same, him and Ross in the same Summer.

Plus goalscorers who look competent and do a job are pretty hard to find.

 

[cashman]

it dont annoy me at all with our resources, we always will be a selling club i think,i just accept the fact and move on,

 

[andyd]

His proposed move to Blackpool has now collapsed as well.

 

[andyd]

Alhagi Toure Sisse Spanish 6ft 4 ins striker been with us on trail believe we are going to sign him played in Spain brief appearance at Grimsby rest Welsh football 51 goals in 68 appearance,s that is impressive at any level.

 

[Tommy McQueen]

Andyd I believe that several other clubs keeping their eyes on him. we had better be quick

 

[Tommy McQueen]

Looks as though Colby has gone to Portsmouth.Completed a medical Wednesday .

 

[andyd]

Signed on the dotted line for Pompey undisclosed fee believe around £500,000 good luck lad.

 

[cashman]

its on the fishy now good luck to the guy.

"Believed to be"
"Undisclosed"
Isn't it about time there was some honesty ?
Or is it a case of not wanting to know what the profit is being spent on ?
Look I get it.
Selling club blah blah blah ....... and as still being seen as an outsider albeit followed the club home and away for many years (excluding covid) genuinely I think the fans would like to know.
Not in a negative sense but in a sense of knowing where the priorities lie.
Surely the time is ripe for re investment in the product on the pitch ?
Stand by for being slagged off ................

I am not in the slightest bit interested in knowing how much we get for players when sold as i consider we are a bit unique at Accrington Stanley as the owner, directors and manager has the best interest of the club and importantly the supporters at heart, other we wouldn't be where we are
today.

 

[Mr T]

Sir
Good points
I'll reply in full tomorrow
Google I think Matt Grimes ? Exeter to Swansea
That leaked fee cost Exeter millions

And there you have the stock reply.
Accy are not unique every club will tell you they have the interests of the club at heart.
Pitch - big tick.
Ground improvements - big tick.
Dressing rooms - big tick
Corporate facilities - big tick

Product on the pitch - ?

Stop looking upon what I've said with negativity. Never once said I don't applaud what's been achieved.
I would just like to see the spread sheet adjusted a little now and see if we can improve the squad.

Sir,

I hope you're not suggesting keep it hush so we can rob Leamington on the sell on clause ?
I thought we were better than that.

 

[andyd]

Well I,ve enjoyed the ride since that first game back in 1970.

 

[Chimer]

Sorry to lose Colby, of course, especially to Pompey, but it would have been far worse to have a disgruntled wanting-away top scorer in the dressing room (again) .....

Not suggesting in any way that would have been his likely reaction if he'd still been here on opening day, but I'm pleased the slightest risk of it has been removed.

 

[Exile on Spencer St]

Sorry to see him go but good luck to him. Is it a measure of how far Stanley have progressed that our better players get sold before the season starts, rather than after?

Errr… are you suggesting Coley isn’t telling the truth?
"He hasn't walked away for nothing, so we'll get a few bob and Leamington will get rewarded as well which is good."

 

[andyd]

Progress at Stanley has been immense and we will like a lot of others always be a selling club it's just that we are better at doing it than most Colby deserve,s his move especially after Charles cost him is move last season professional throughout and has nothing but praise for everything about the club.

 

[Lost in Cornwall]

Wish him well after all he's done for us. Just sorry he's going to a club in the same division and will have to play against us.

 

[andyd]

Andy Holt,s words as a club we bring players in at the bottom and let them out at the top there is no other model for ASFC, he says Colby was devastated last season to have his move blocked and to be able to play in the Championship, I promised him if another move came I wouldn't stand in his way again he carried on and gave his all. The correct way to run a club with the smallest resources in the EFL.
