STAND manager Nick Davis accepts that striker Mickey Bartholomew might move on after Bacup Borough placed a seven-day notice on the former Colne Dynamoes striker.
"Obviously I would be sad to lose him, but we have Lee Wilkinson and Chris Denham up front and I can understand that Mickey doesn't want to sit on the
bench every game," said Davis.
"I wish I could play everybody but I can't and I have to do what is best for the club. He is a good player and I'm not surprised that clubs are showing an interest in him. I think he will walk into most teams in this division and we would like to keep him here but we understand that he doesn't want to sit on the bench."
Bartholomew has scored nine for Stand this season but the NWCL Division Two leaders have had plenty of others chipping in as they have scored 53 league goals to date.
Karl Brown, who played in the Manchester United youth team with David Beckham, Paul Scholes and the like, has rejoined NWCL Division One side
Ramsbottom United from Stand.
