ACCRINGTON Stanley this week confirmed their intention to become a full-time professional club on 1 July.

The Reds' remarkable rise from the UniBond Premier Division and a profitable FA Cup run has given them enough confidence to take the giant leap.

That means the players, including a postman, plumber and publican, will be asked to call time on their day jobs.

Stanley reporter SUZANNE GELDARD puts each player concerned under the microscope and analyses their chances of staying with the club as it tries to regain Football League status.

The first big question is would star striker Paul Mullin take a calculated risk and give up his job as an independent financial advisor?

The 29-year-old sharp shooter is well established in his profession. But on the field he has already proved he is capable of scoring goals at this level and may want to see if he can improve on his tally next term.

What about goalkeeper Jon Kennedy, who joined Stanley after being released by Sunderland last term, former Wigan and Manchester City midfielder Ged Brannan and ex-Liverpool star John Durnin? All three will surely be keen to return to the professional game.

If offered contracts then all would be tempted to sign up for the adventure.

That would give the team a solid spine from which to build - but what might the rest of manager John Coleman's squad do?

Below is an assessment of what could lie in store in the coming months.
