Accrington Stanley chairman Andy Holt has shared messages he exchanged with centre-half Cameron Burgess prior to his move to the Blues and given his assessment of dealing with Town’s new ownership.

Holt had been tweeting about agents and his approach to allowing his club's players to move on and positively cited Burgess and his representative.

The Stanley owner was subsequently asked his opinion on dealing with Blues CEO Mark Ashton during the deal which saw the Australian U23 international join Town, which is understood to have yielded his club £750,000.

He is and his last words on the subject to me were ‘it’s great to work with you and do business in the right way Andy’

The feeling is mutual. https://t.co/tf5MpPCmzT– Andyh (@AndyhHolt) October 7, 2021

Marcus added 16:32 - Oct 7 It's harmless. Positive messages, affectionate, respectful, if a little unprofessional. Nothing negative and shows friendly relations between the chairmen. It's a fun way of wishing the player well after a move. There have been so many stories about moves that went roughly, nice to hear about one that went well.

PortmanTerrorist added 18:53 - Oct 7 Why pass judgement, this is an honest man sharing his thoughts. The thing I take away from this, is how bad must agents/clubs be to deal with generally for this to warrant going public! Either way, kudos to Mr Ashton and this bodes will for our near future and the signings we will need to make to reach the next level.
