Accrington supremo Andy Holt has launched a fresh attack on Sevco after the troubled Championship club announced a double swoop for starlets Josh Windass and Matt Crooks.
Last night Sevco announced that the Accrington duo had signed four year contracts to move to Ibrox in the summer leaving the League Two promotion hopefuls in limbo.
While Accrington comply with Football League Financial Fair Play rules there are no such regulations in place in the SPFL.
Rather than live beyond their means with an unpaid and overdue loan for £5m owed to Sports Direct, or having a £2.5m going concern warning on their accounts, Accrington have lived within their means and are now paying the price.
“It’s not illegal, but it’s not how it should be done,” Holt said after hearing about the players undergoing medicals and signing pre contract agreements.
“People are telling me we’re talking to Rangers, we’re not. Whoever is talking to Rangers, it isn’t me or John (Coleman the Accrington Stanley manager). It’s important to make that distinction.
“I’ve not had the club long and people are saying we are selling players. We’re not, that’s not what I’m about.”
“I don’t like the way Rangers have gone about it, not picking the phone up to our manager, John Coleman.”
Great Question . If Henrik Larsson 22 now how much do u think hed be worth?

>Under English Football League rules clubs that overspend aren’t allowed to sign any players with Bolton, Fulham and Nottingham Forest currently banned from registering additional players in a bid to reduce their losses.
Holt has never been convicted for tax crimes or been described as a glib and shameless liar.
Underhand methods? thats what they are all about after all.no surprises there
The over investment has begun, 2 world class players from league 2 in England as well as the Doncaster reject and the polly goalie, warbunator is building a champions league outfit, barca are watching closely league 2 is where the gems are trust warbo, he’s been a top manager for 2 year
Sevco are going for players that are – off the radar – to match their enormous wealth.
Sevco if they get promotion this year celtic and rest of the club’s should be aware of the massively new signings they very made. World class players from English Bottoms tier. Maybe this is the standard of player they should have bought in the old club and that would still exist
I’ve heard about talking you son up but windass is setting his up for a fall, the next gazza and playing for England in 4 years all with the help of sevco, the orcs will lap this up the deluded Jeremy hunts.
But if Sevco tapped up the players, they did so with unparalleled dignity.
That’s another fine mess you got me into Accrington Stanley.
King must be loosening the purse strings on his £30 million he’s investing, or was just another lie.
IN DAVE KING WE TRUST
