Why? How many would be better than Bury's squad, for instance?

They don't play for Stanley, they play for Coley - just as his Ashton squad did before he came here and brought them all with him. The man is not only a football genius, but also inspires intense loyalty from his players. That, in simple terms is why, if he wanted them, they'd go with him! ......and, in my humble opinion, they'd be right to do so.

Whilst i agree he inspires intense loyalty no question, if he moved up a couple of divisions 90% of those lads would be not much use at all, n that aint disrespecting em, its fact.

25. Dunbavin.... A Good backup for Alex. KEEP
26. Jacobsen..... Left Back position is his as long as he wants it! KEEP
27. Craney...... THE enigma.... Needs to improve but already has his contract.

smudgie totally agree with your resume of the squad but we need a new mullinesque forward to compliment terry up front he will def benefit and profit from knock downs and knock ons from a big man which could take him to a 20 plus a year striker. in midfield think jimmy will go but charlie and razor can more than do a good job there and the back looks pretty stable but after the satanage affair could do with abit more presence, height and weight but ultimately we have to have
JIMMY AND JOHN
and also a plan b
