Accrington Stanley
 Accrington Stanley is a football club from Accrington in Lancashire, in the north-west of England, formed in 1968. They are also known as the Stanley, the Reds, and the world's most famous little club. They gained much of their popularity because of a 1980s English milk commercial (which you can watch below) that is until John Coleman brought the club into League 2; and I followed the trend and took them to the Championship - so far. Can YOU recreate the form I had to take Accrington Stanley to the top? Well read on for some tips and tricks

Year founded - 1968
Status - Professional
Reputation - Regional
Chairman Status - Loves the Club
Favoured Personnel - Paul Mullin, Brett Ormerod, John Coleman
Fierce Rivals - York, Barrow
Other Rivals - Altrincham, Morecambe, Southport
Finances - Okay
Estimated Value - 5.25m (Loan Debt 2.9 million)
Stadium - Crown Ground (Really Fraser Eagle Stadium)
Stadium Capacity - 5075, expandable at the end of the season, max expansion is 10000
Training Facilities - Adequate
Youth Facilities - Basic
Continental Competition - None
Media Prediction - 23rd
Squad Average - 23
Squad personality - Determined
Captain - ________
Vice-Captain - Paul Carden
Star Players - Kenny Arthur, Leam Richardson, Romuald Boco
Rising Stars - Shaun Whalley is the only player with good potential
Manager - John Coleman
Chairman - Eric Whalley
Finances - _________
Transfer Budget - about 7k
Parent Club - Liverpool
Goalkeepers
- Kenny Arthur is a great Goalkeeper who you should keep at least until you reach the premeirship, he has been playing well for me even in the championship
- Ian Dunbavin - Okay backup for League 2, get rid of him if you can get the money
Defenders
- Leam Richardson will serve you well for a few seasons
- Philip Edwards has some potential, and is a good backup as well
- Sean Webb and Mark Roberts are good defenders for League 2 and League 1
Midfielders
- Andy Proctor is a good player for League 2, same with Paul Carden, but not much use afterwards
- Graham Branch will give your team some experience on the left, a good player for League 2
- Shaun Whalley has good Potential (possible Championship level), play him as a backup on the right (see Recommended Signings)
Strikers
- Romuald Boco is one your best players, and the only international in the team. Play him as an attacking midfielder or as a striker. He plays great as them. Or even central midfielder as well, he is pretty good there too
- Chris McGrail is pretty good for League 2
- I didn't ever play Paul Mullin so im sorry about that
Tactics and Training
- I used a 4-4-2 diamond; it has gotten me into the championship in 3 seasons
- I used Tug's Training - it has served me well
Who To Buy
- In my 4th season, I only have Kenny Arthur, Leam Richardson, Philip Edwards and Shaun Whalley from the original team I took over
- You need to strengthen at the back, try to get Jack Hobbs on loan from Liverpool (parent club)
- Also available is Oscar Carmelo Sanchez - but is a little bit expensive for you
- Also look for a full-back who can play both sides
- A defensive midfielder - either Jay Spearing or Damien Plessis on a season long loan from Liverpool
- A right winger - Owen Price is free - and he is amazing
- An attacking midfielder - Scott Donnelly is also free and will serve you well till the championship
- A left winger - Sean Evans from Man Utd is pretty good
- A striker - get Alex Fernandez for free, and you will never ever regret it
- You can also try Frazier Campbell, never had him but he is apparently very good and he comes on loan to League 2 teams
Well that's it - for the blanks and italics in the Team info, I apologoize because the data for them is from my 4th season; I will edit it asap
In addition, you can try my Accrington Thread, found by clicking on my sig, for some more help
