Poll: Are you happy with Accrington's finances?

[jaysay]

Whats funny is there's actually 5 people who are happy with Stanley's finances

Oliver, nobody can comment on the finances because they aren't available. The club cigarette packet is currently down the back of some crummy crouch in a taxi rank in Great Harwood. Until they discover it then its pointless debating further

You don't think it's gone a short trip to Aus, macca?

[maccawozzagod]

yeah probably. Probably same reason why Jimmy Ryan still hgasn't been offered a new contract - the money has gone to Ryanair instead!

Deeply suspicious of Poll Starter. Why should they suddenly join Accyweb and launch this poll with their first post? Is he/she a Stanley fan? What are the motives behind it?

I'm an interested outsider. No i'm not an Accrington fan, I'm a football fan who's deeply concerned about the current state of finances in football. I intend to start polls similar to this around other forums and encourage debate.

I've been criticised by people who think the idea of supporting clubs to be more transparent is stupid and meaningless because it'll never happen, but would you prefer to just leave things as it is?

We've already seen clubs end up in court being wound up by the tax man, in very high profile cases. It seems only a super run in the FA Cup or flukey promotion to the Premier League can save some clubs. This shouldn't be acceptable. I don't believe it is.

Hope this clears things up for you. I have no motives or loyalties here, only to fair play. I was hugely impressed with the Save Our Stanley campaign last year, but am massively disappointed it even had to happen in the first place.

I know the income at lower level isn't very sustainable in some cases, but I think in a broader level the FA needs to get off their so and so's and do something about it!! You may think I'm living in the dreamland, but if people stay quiet and do nothing about it... what do you expect will change? Nothing.
