Paul Mullin
- Thread starter MCR ADIM
- Start date
Not really that surprised by this after the hasty exit to Bratford and the recent cut in the wage budget. Also the team played well after his departure (not that he made them play badly!) proving there is life after Mullers. Also, any money in today's climate for a 35year old would be a bonus. Thing is , how much would any interested clubs be prepared to offer ?
I can understand it. I'm just gutted.
In an age when the term professional has been watered down, I can't speak highly enough about the undiluted true pro that we have enjoyed in Paul Mullin. Obviously we are not in the know about the discussions, but I would have hoped a 'free' would reward Paul by giving him maximum choice on possibly his final club as a player. Many thanks Paul and sincere best wishes to you sir.
Absolutely gutted! Despite reassurances from various people at the club that Paul would be back for next season it now looks like there's little possibility of him coming back and bowing out properly with his much deserved testimonial, in my opinion a sad way for someone who has been such a loyal servant of the club to go.
Good luck for the future Paul.

He hasn't gone yet, if no club comes in for him, he will still be a Stanley player next season, he still has a year on his contract so lets not wave him goodbye just yet. However, if he is to go, how much would the club get for him at 35 yrs old and maybe 1 or 2 seasons left?
Sorry still cannot get my head around this, we had offers for him and did not sell him 
)) now transfer listed, how much will we get - or is it just the wages???? Either way bad business, after everything he has done for us, he has not had the chance of a testimonial and worse still - and the bit that has really aggrieved me
WE HAVE NOT EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO WAVE HIM OFF AND FOR HIM TO THROW HIS BOOTS, SHIRT AND STUFF INTO THE CROWD This must rank as one of the worst things that Stanley have done - sorry but it's how I feel. It is not an over reaction, but yes it may be sentimental.
It says in the Telegraph that Paul couldn't afford to take the contract that the club offered him.
Gives a different angle from the club statement, which in my opinion painted him as being unreasonable.
I truly hope I get to see him play in a Stanley shirt again.

If he goes that leaves us with no recognised striker in the squad
Any chance of posting a link? Cheers......
I think you'll find it is.

Paul has a family to consider - absolutely gutted but in no way surprised that we can no longer afford to pay his wages and he obviously cannot afford to take the cut. Ever decreasing circles comes to mind in this situation
Everyone will hopefully have a chance to say a proper goodbye to the phenomenal Stanley player that was Paul (lets admit it - he is gone) and for him to say goodbye to the club he has helped rise from the doldrums of Northern league football to the Football League. Remember - wherever you have been during that meterioric rise of a journey from Frickley to Peterborough, so has this lad. A true gentleman and role model of a player. Never ever saw Paul embarass himself publicly unlike some of the other players . He will be missed. Hopefully he will keep coming back to have a look now and again as I am sure that he has become a fan of Stanley as much as we are over the time he has been with us.
Big up Paul and all the best to you and your family in the future - I actually have a tear in my eye writing this now and I am not ashamed to admit it..
