ACCRINGTON Stanley manager John Coleman has revealed he will be telling players whether their future's lie at the Fraser Eagle Stadium at training tomorrow.
Local rivals Bury scored the double over Stanley on Saturday courtesy of two goals from Andy Bishop.
And Coleman admitted the rebuilding work has to start as soon as possible.

He said: "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not, it's part of football and it's something that's got to be done. I don't particularly enjoy shaving, but it's something that I've got to do.
"I've made the decision and I'll tell the lads on Tuesday.
"We'll have a fitness assessment on Tuesday and we'll be giving programmes to those who are staying. The ones who will go we'll wish them all the best."

i cant believe coleman will still be there to tell anyone ho is staying.come on eric do the right thing, crowds will increase if there is something decent to watch e.g a side who can win a home match. anyone in any other job would get the sack if they kept producing poor results.

Steve. Just take the following facts on board.
1. Money talks. The clubs with the most money are generally the most successful.
2.The gates, i.e.the income at Stanley, are the lowest in the league.
3. A lot of this income has had to be spent on necessary ground improvements.
4. The deficit between income & expenditure has to come out of the director's pockets.
Eric & John have done brilliantly in bringing the club so far in such a liitle time. John must be so frustrated that he has so little money, in comparison to other clubs, to pay his squad & to bring in better players. I'm sure he'd love to have the money at Paul Ince's disposal, then he too would run away with the league. The public of Hyndburn have not turned up in sufficient numbers to support Stanley, & so there is no immediate prospect of major increases in income. I don't pretend to know the answer to this "chicken & egg" situation, but to blame the manager, who has done a pretty good job in the circumstances, is very unfair.

Sorry 'Observer' but I agree with Steve on this one, we all know we haven't got a big budget but John Coleman's lack of tactical knowledge this season has cost us dearly. He never has a 'plan b' and does not seem to have the nouse to change things around when they are going wrong on the pitch, either that or he's too stubborn to admit it. One thing we've always been able to say at Stanley is that our lads play entertaining football - win lose or draw - but that has been sadly lacking this season.

Well I've ordered my season ticket and made the commitment. Now I want to see JC do what he said a few weeks ago and have a good clear out this summer. In my mind there are 10 to 12 players who should be released as not good enough. Let's have some quality defenders and a decent strike partner for Mullers

Stanley manager John Coleman added: "There's no proof."
well thats an admission of guilt if ever there was one.
Bye bye coleman. i wont enter that ground while he's still in charge signing and picking a 2nd rate bunch of underperforming fellow Liverpudlians who are happy to rip of the league, fans and FOOTBALL to line there own pockets.
Are we really expected to believe that its mere coincidence that £250 000 was placed on Stanley to lose in Bookies in and around Liverpool but the rest of the nations gamblers didnt see fir to pick this game as a banker 'home win'?
Hang your head in shame all who were involved. the money you have won is tainted with a disdain for the fans, public and sport.
i hope you never watch sport again without thinking about what you have done.
You have sold any right to further sporting enjoyment to my mind.
I hope it was worth it.
