Accrington chief executive Rob Heys insists the League Two strugglers would not welcome approaches from investors who meddle in team selection.

Stanley are fourth in a list of clubs potentially being targeted by MyFootballClub, a website which gives fans the opportunity to buy and then take control of a professional football club.

The website was launched earlier this year with the aim of recruiting 50,000 members, each of whom pay £35 in a bid to raise £1.4million to buy a club, with each member being an equal partner.

"We are looking for investment, but it's got to be right for Accrington Stanley and our long-term future," Heys told the Lancashire Telegraph . "I don't think MyFootballClub would be.

"The idea is also based on the fact that fans can vote on team selection and on buying players.

"But the secret of Accrington's success has been that (chairman) Eric Whalley will let John Coleman make his own decisions on players."
