Accrington boss stands defiant
12:23pm Friday 9th May 2008 in
STANLEY boss John Coleman has hit back at the controversy surrounding the club, insisting: "I know I've done nothing wrong."
The club hit the headlines at the weekend after several bookmakers refused to pay out following the Stanley's 2-0 home defeat to Bury.
An unusually large amount of money was put on Bury to win, sparking an investigation by the Gambling Commission and The Football Association.
But Coleman was bullish in the defence of his club.
He said: "I know I've done nothing wrong. As far as I'm concerned, I can sleep easy at night. But I don't like the club being besmirched, so to speak.
"It just seems to be any time there's an opportunity to fling mud at us it gets flung.
"In the past, when there have been stories like this, it has always been an un-named club'.
"If ever there's a chance to have a pop at us, people do."
