even the difference in stanleys average wage v the fans average is a lot greater than it was when the maximum wage was inforce. lots of clubs did not pay the maximum anyway but even those who didn,t players wages were always slightly but only slightly above the towns average. in my old mans case pre war it was a couple of pound a week in the season but less in summer.

Regardless of anything, we will always attract players, just maybe not Messi
There is though, one thing we HAVE that every other Club does NOT

Very optimistic view is that.
We will only attract the players others reject because even with a salary cap we will always get out done financially.
How Coley manages to keep unearthing I don't know but signs this season some clearly did not work out at all.

IMHO Stanley can and do attract ‘The right players for OUR club‘. Mainly young players that we usually do well with and who often make a further step up. And since Andy Holt got the players to commit to longer contracts the club can benefit financially when they get sold on. John and Jimmy have proved how good they are at working in this situation, in fact they are MASTERS at it! Andy Holt knows the limitations in financial terms that our little club can commit regarding improving ground infrastructure and in paying wages etc. IMHO Andy is a MASTER too. We might be one of the smallest clubs in pro football but we are one of the best run. We have also been quite successful results wise too. All the above factors along with a TOTALLY COMMITTED FAN BASE, albeit small make our ACCRINGTON STANLEY simply THE BEST LITTLE CLUB IN THE WORLD for me!
ON STANLEY ON.
KEEP THE FAITH

Luton part company with their manager,assistant manager first team coach and their goalkeeping coach although mutually agreed Luton citing financial cost cutting in the current climate as the primary reason, so it could be that not just players coming out of contract are vulnerable but management and coaching staff too.
No idea where these football club wage figures have come from ??
If they are from L2 the year we went up really don't think they are correct. I'll look up up and post what's "sensible"
Stay safe folks
Not the first thing Rupert Murdoch has his snout in that’s been closed down!
On 8 August 2012 it was made public that tycoon Rupert Murdoch had secured the rights to the Eredivisie for 12 years at the expense of 1 billion euros, beginning in the 2013–14 season

agree also and not just because andy holt is saying it. if clubs get some financial rewards for playing behind closed doors then that is fine if 100 per cent safe to do so. if not its totally pointless. so will next season if it kicks off in a similar way. have heard it could be 12 months at least till we get back to normal making next season a big doubt as well. it ends up how much money the game actually has to continue to prop up clubs.
Well if certain clubs can afford to pay someone £350,000+ a week and then they don't play there is plenty of money floating around question is who has it clubs, players or agents not sure but for clubs like Accrington hibernation is the only sound financial way and it's not guaranteed to work for everyone, unfortunately a lot of players will become casualties but also will a lot of the general public who will lose livelihoods due to this awful pandemic, stay safe.
its not really about which clubs have money or not, there has always been arsenals and accringtons and manchester uniteds and morecambes. its more about what money the EFL and premier league has to help clubs throughout the game. probebly there is only a handful of clubs who are not in debt anyway so clubs helping out neighbours is not an option.
Maybe as we aren't in debt we should be helping out some struggling Premier League club?
EFL where are you and what are you doing clubs need decision making otherwise they will do what they choose, Colchester already decided that all out of contract players will be released even admitting that some of them would have been offered new deals before this covid-19. I can see other clubs following suit wether Stanley do I don't know but wouldn't be surprised.
I think its September mate.
