Accrington Staff Asked To Take 40% Pay Cut

It is being reported that Accrington's off-field staff have been asked to take a 40% pay cut to retain their jobs.

In a blog for the Lancashire Telegraph, columnist Stephen Lowe writes:

'I think even the most rose tinted of fans had seen some cuts coming but the scale has perhaps taken many by surprise.

From our chief executive Rob Heys down, it appears they have all been asked to take a 40 per cent pay cut.

Now that is a figure told to me second hand, but already we have lost some of the long serving staff from Stanley.'

The club has previously been reported to be losing £400,000 a year, but chairman Ilyas Khan is currently covering the losses while the club becomes self-sufficient.
