Re: Daryl Clare released.
or Paul Mullin up front or Edwards, Welch or Richardson at the back (all new signings, all highly consistent).
I f I was a player I would always choose Stanley over any similar positioned club, because it is a bigger shop window. No disrespect to Morecambe but there is very little that is appealing there. They have a bigger ground than us, but it is still not that impressive with its three sides. They have slightly bigger crowds than us (I would discount our last couple and forthcoming crowds as they are not typical) but three hundred people extra on a big open ground does not look, seem or sound any bigger than our compact ground. I would expect Morecambe pay similar wages to us, although their know-it-all , friends in high places fans would probably dispute that. And I also imagine that the facilities, training or recreational are no different to ours.
Morecambe fans make a big deal of the fact that Craney was advised to go to Christie Park by the Alty manager. So what! Craney never said he wanted to or else he would have done. Stanley is a potential global commodity and have always had the ability to punch above their weight with mass marketability. Sorry Morecambe, but outside of Morecambe and your ex-pats, nobody cares about you. Stanley have their so-called romanticism, so even if you follow in our wake we should always be able to outclass you in the transfer market.
