Stanley bid for Symes - Page 2

Fourth official · 24-04-2009, 12:34

It could be a last home game for a few more!! Just hope Cav gets his wish and it either rains or the pitch is watered so 'to encourage our passing game' (disguise a poor first touch)...

Yes hes gone back to shrewsbury town so Lindfield will be our only first team striker. So might be 4 5 1 tomorrow

I feel sorry for Coley. If our financial situation wasn't so laughable (ignoring £200k of investement, accounts not filed etc) he could be chasing the signature of a player like Danny Carlton, not settling for unwanted players. That's probably not fair and certainly only speculation, but it's what fans are reduced to when there seems to have been so many missed opportunities by the club over the past few years to advance as a professional outfit.

please explain how shaker?, they are in a position to be competitive in transfer market, and why they should be? given their resources.

Sorry cashy I haven't a clue what you're asking?

That's just the thing - if opportunity after opportunity with everything from Google Page Ranking to merchandise to even selling the club at the right time hadn't been missed, then there'd be a large possibility that we could have more resources now.
Our management team have shown that they can not only survive in this league but compete to some extent, and potential like that is let down by the lack of business nouse at the club in recent years, which is becoming clear now.
Like I said in my original post there's a lot of unfair specualtion there but from the outside looking in, the club have missed opportunities that would've allowed the management team to prosper. This practice seems to be continuing by ignoring Ilyas Khan.

In fact, we've still not had a sensible answer from the club about why they won't talk to Ilyas.

Also on back page of Accy Ob Coley and Jimmy in contract talks

Just hope we can keep the players for next season and none of them get tempted away!

Got to be worth either trying Andy Smith up front or using Milesy further up and using Bobby Grant. We also have McConville as well??

fc:stanley · 24-04-2009, 16:57

Id stick turner up front with his pace.

I'd prefer that boy Chris Turner to play down the righhht, personally and use that pace to beat defenders and get the ball into the box...
