Jamie Donley: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Accrington Stanley have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Accrington Stanley say no — this time
The offer from Köln for Samson Tovide was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Words exchanged at Accrington Stanley
Noah Adekoya and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Graduation day at Accrington Stanley
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Benjamin Fredrick falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Wigan Athletic tell Accrington Stanley: Joe Rice is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Accrington Stanley promote Mark Hall from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mark Hall has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Joshua Palmer steps up from the Accrington Stanley academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Joshua Palmer has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
