Alty Game / Ian Craney

Local Robin (Alty) · 29-11-2005, 15:59

Should be a good following from Alty this Saturday and a healthy gate overall. Stanley are flying but expect Alty not to roll over for you. Alty have Grays away the following match so perhaps we could do your lot a favour.

I see Ian Craney is banging in the goals for you. Bearing in mind Alty have a sell-on clause, do people generally think he will stay and help you trying to get promoted. Or will a big fish come in and pounce. Any thoughts?

we thought FGR and maybe even Southport might put up a strong fight against us but that didnt happen so were not too bothered about Alty this weekend; no disrespect intended...in response to Ian Craney...
Ian Craney is a red is a red

Of course he hates alty, thats why he was singing his heart out at the play off final, good luck to him, he'll earn us some fabulous money, hate us? I dont think so somehow

can you post a bigger version of that picture please...

shakermaker · 29-11-2005, 16:44

i doubt the sell-on clause is big enough to bag you 'fabulous money'
we have a very-err, 'financially safe' chairman you know (trying so hard not to use the words 'tight-arse' lol)

Its well known that Alty have a 50% sell on clause on Craney, so if he goes for 100k we get 50k, I'd call that fabulous money.That was part of the reason you turned down a £50,000 offer from Rotherham for him.

I dont think even non league super club accrington stanley would fill a 28,500 capacity stadium for a feeder league playoff final some how.Plus its customery to go for a drink at half time.

John_Timmins · 29-11-2005, 17:12

I dont reckon he will go in january as i think he is really enjoying it at stanley and i think he will at least do us the honour of playing for us to at least the end of the season....but unlike rory he needs to remember NO player is bigger than the club!

Also think stanley will wait for a very good offer...but like coley has always said he will never stand in any players career!

any stanley fans know if this is true?

John_Timmins · 29-11-2005, 18:10

all i know is that they have got a large sell on fee on him but dont know if 50% is right?

Willie Miller · 29-11-2005, 18:39

Why so preoccupied with money? Who cares? He's an Accy player & if both clubs make cash from the deal if he goes then who cares apart from our Accountant!!!!

He's enjoying his time at Accy, we are treating him well & he is playing fantastic!

Don't think he will go in January but he probably will go eventually if we don't go up but come close

Welcome to the board Alty fans, have a good trip Saturday but hope you get a good royal shoe-ing!

Also, how come you know so much about our club, Rob's the Chief Executive lads so he'll know if you are telling porkies

& while we are posting pics of your biggest game in years, if you can beat the amount of colour we got on our terrace......

on a run of the mill Tuesday Night I may add, then I'll give you credit !!!!! I'll give you 20 years to beat it!

Stanley Ultras!

we need big money for Craney. Driving force in our midfield, 7 goals so far, now an England regular who has the benefit of 'captained England' on his CV.

Especially with the sell on clause involved, then £200k would be close to the mark. I would expect Eric to give him away for next to nowt though with a 75% sell on clause attached. Maybe we could swap for a roof, did Rotherham have a nice roof anybody?

It didn't take long for the wasters from Alty to get a thread started about how they loved Craney so much, well guess what, he doesn't play for you anymore and if we sell him and you get a bit of money out of it then it will help you get out of the conference north next year.
