Good player,when fit !.
Surprised he's gone to Mansfield as I thought he may have gone abroad for a last pay day.

Have you been to Mansfield recently, F19?
Wrong.
His wages didn't fit as he was given a contract the club could barely afford courtesy of the best manager ever James beattie.
So why was he sat on the bench last season Dav? when certainly not injured.
There lots of talk on here about player's wages but I suspect, like in many instances, it's mainly based on assumption and rumour, rather than fact.
I don't know (nor particularly care) what people I work with are earning.
Just out of interest, Davo, can you let us all in on how you seem to know just how much particular Stanley players are/were earning. I'm not doubting you know such things, but what exactly is the source of your facts. Do you happen to work for HMRC in Bootle by any chance?

He also sat wi us at n away game and was certainly not injured along wi another player who was, That was under the messiah.
By the way whatever Hunt was on, why did Luke Joyce get offered a worse deal?

An ex Prem player won't have been paid peanuts and our chairman has already admitted BEattie had our largest ever budget. A scholar and a gentleman and a half decent player. However if we can get two young lads in for the same wages it's a no brainier.
It's only a no brainier (sic) if the "two young lads" are collectively as good as the player they are replacing.
Do we actually want "young lads" to fill these important defensive positions? We've already signed an untried centre back.
"Face didnt fit" ahhh, Have you any proof that this is the case Smudgie or just the fact that you're Coleys biggest fan so want to slate him at every given chance?
I heard Luke Joyce signed for Carlisle on not much more money than Coley offered!
Not sure how much Nicky Hunt was on but will have been one of the higher earners, with a few injuries and wrong side of 30 it wasn't a surprise he didn't sign, Certainly think we can get same quality of player if not better for less money!
Lloyd Jones, Anthony Barry and a decent loan keeper and I think were in for a good season!

That doesn't really need to be said. It's obvious I'm not advocating playing two shire horses at centre back. Coley has a track record of finding hungry young talent. You're making Hunt out to be the next Bobby Moore.
Good job those youngsters Aldred and Edwards scarpered then isn't it. We could sign Messi and folk would still moan.
With our budget keeping Windass and Mingoia is superb and Kee is a coup given his pedigree at this level. Exciting times at the Crown. Just a goalkeeper and Lloyd Jones now please!!!
Our normal wage budget is roughly £500,000. Beattie was given £670,000 for a promotion challenge. Unless he was trousering the difference I'd suggest that's proof enough wages were significantly higher under his regime as our squad size didn't increase dramatically. Nothing wrong with that at all but anybody who thinks the likes of Odejayi, Hunt and Naylor played for peanuts has lost it.
Here's Peter talking about the 670k.
Stanley could slide without more help (From This Is Lancashire)

Wrong according to the player himself, he signed fer less, the thing that was better was only bonuses, which yeh dont get if not earned,
You said Joycey got offered a worse deal at Stanley but then went on to sign for Carlisle for less than Stanley offered, is that what you're saying Cashy?
