Accrington Stanley - Who are they?



Anybody remember the iconic advert from the 80's? (http://bit.ly/2EWRf21)

Well now they can hold their heads up has as they have won promotion to League 1, English football's 3rd tier for the first time in their history.

Furthermore, they will be playing against ex-premier league teams such as Sunderland, Barnsley, Portsmouth and maybe even Birmingham.

That advert was a mistake anyway, they thought that founder member of the football league Accrington were a Stanley.

The lad in the advert used to be a waiter in my old restaurant. He’s a right mess now

The manager was on the radio this morning. Mentioend they have an annual budget of about a million. Thats about 20K per week to pay 20 odd players and support staff. thats miniscule., Surely it can't include running costs etc?

£1m per year. FFS that's less than the combined weekly salary of the PL top 4 earners and only 40k more than the top 3 earners.

Sanchez £400,000
Pogba £280,000
DeBruyne £280,000
Lukaku £250,000

Disclaimer:
Those figures are according to TalkShite so may not be 100% accurate but probably aren't far from the truth. (http://bit.ly/2EX2BmW)

I didn't think Spurs were that good in the 80s.

Poor kid, a lifetime of milk abuse can do that to you.

First it starts out as a bit of recreational semi-skimmed and the next thing you know you're on full fat and going down the slippery slope to Gold top and throwing bottles of Frijj at coaches.

The whole country's going to the dogs. Illegal dairies popping up all over the place, people cultivating their own cows in heated attics, yoghurt dens everywhere.

Just thinking about it leaves a sour taste...
