Couldn't blame the lad one bit just shows how some clubs though are prepared to pay vastly superior wages at our level for pretty mediocre players, no disrespect to Aaron but he isn't a world beater but you grab what you can when you can.

Highish wages, fee paid to his former club, loan signing to ASFC authorised in the strangest manner ever and then an injury.

Cracking lad in his spell with us, but when some sense returned at Bloomfield Road he wasn't ( to my knowledge) coming our way at that stage

A bit touchy that response Mark ?

Fail to see how that response is touchy was just a honest reply i thought.

its not as if players are not wanted its to give em match play with another club. if a manager cannot offer anyone regular game time i thought it was obvious. just like stanley send lads out on loan.

Ferrand Rawson released by Forest Green Rovers.

[baldy]

Adam Buxton released by Morecambe!

[monkey hanger]

wonder if both lads have been released on financial grounds and not actually how they performed on the pitch.

Rawson played over 80 games in his two seasons at fgr and don't think they are without money due to owner, Buxton struggled again with fitness and weight shame good player.

how many of these lads would have been released in a normal situation? not many i think.

[Twenty Eight]

I reckon both of them.

That's anyone's guess but with talk of in league 1 a salary cap of 2.5 million and a senior squad of just 20 players maximum that's 480 players to be given a job same in league 2 so managers some with probably players tied to contracts they don't really want are maybe juggling for what could be limited space in the squad by letting go some they normally might have offered a deal strange times.

Can't see 20 player max for senior squad.

Agreed Josh.
Do the maths that cap with 20 players would make the average wage £2400 a week.
As if ...........

Neither can I don't think it's a good idea but apparently it is being discussed and salary cap It I think will definitely come in probably with a grace period of maybe 12 months for already agreed contracts, but rumours are top earner in league 1 last season was on £15600 a week.

[andyd]

If by the way the £15600a week salary is true that's over 50% of Stanley's entire playing budget.

[Twenty Eight]

Only way that could have happened is if it was a relegated Championship player on an extended deal.
