Tonights observer suggests that if the offer for Lee McEvily is a good one he may be leaving....!!!!

What do you think?? A good move to turn a profit on him ?? or Silly to let such a positive and inspirational player LEAVE..... when we are aiming for the league ourselves???

I would hate to see him leave myself...........:(
 
same here if we lose evil well be losing a really good player so coley should make the right desion and keep him
 
I personally would hate to see him move on. From my vantage point, he seemed to be a very positive force on the pitch and a player whose personal growth could match that of the club to the benefit of both.
 
I hope that it's just the usual inter-season gossip.

Lee is so highly regarded here that I'd be shocked at his departure. He has a wonderful relationship with Stanley fans, he's playing what is arguably the best football of his life, and he has a fantastic season ahead of him . . . including a significant chance of promotion.

Wages are always negotiable, so unless there are family matters to which we are not privy, I can't imagine him leaving ASFC for any other club below League One.
 
Lee would be a very big loss to you guys......but a definate PLUS to his new club........whoever that might be! ! ! ! ! !

Don't ya just luv the silly season?
 
Noooooo, if you're reading this evil....DON'T GO, please!!!! His pace on the pitch is almost unmatchable (is that a word???)
 
Yes, it is a word and it's a word which neatly sums up Lee. His departure would be a massive blow to next season's promotion drive. Let's hope it's an unfounded rumour!
 
From a personal point of view, and after seeing some of the on-field antics at close hand, I would not be too sorry if McEvil left. Yes it would be better to retain his services because he is a fantastic player, but he does have a suspect temperament. Any fee Stanley get for him could quite feasibly be used on getting new players in at the club. NO player is indispensible including all the fans favourites.
 
Selling Evil to make a profit on him is no excuse. Just remember what happened when we sold Brett in March 1997 ... we only avoided narrowly relegation the next season and then we had our only ever relegation the year after that.

If he's set on moving, it will be difficult to keep him. But if he wants to stay, this will be a signal of the club's ambition :mad:

I know what you're saying outback but I do feel that lee's temperament is a big part of why he's the great player he is.
 
I hope he stays as he always seem to give his all. Got a feeling and i may be wrong but could Carlisle be the league club offering money for him? Did Paul Simpson buy him whilst he was manager at Rochdale? I saw report from a game where Dale beat Orient in London and Evil scored the winner, he could have had a hat trick. Simpson spoke very highly of him after that match...then again he had a fall out with a manager at Dale and I cannot remember which manager it was (it could have been simpson!)

Anyway when Evil and Mr Coleman fell out towards the end of the season did they patch things up? Is that why he is being sought after from league clubs? He played such a big part at the club last season, i cannot believe that he could be sold. If it was a premiership side that was interested or even a championship side then fair enough, give the lad a chance type thing, to improve himself, but if it is Carlisle or Bury or a team in league two, then why sell him?
 
Lee is only what, 22 has seen a brill first season & potential that the club has as a professional outfit. He also came from Rochdale as an out of favour player but under a manager that was regarded as a pratt, seen Coleys no nonsence attitude-re Lutel, Rory & perhaps has learnt a lot more about the inside of football this last year. However no one player makes a team & if his ambition is to progress, & who wouldn't in their right mind with his skills, neither the club or manager will stand in his way. Speculation never helps but will always be with us as long as it sells news-correct or speculative.
