And you've got every right to be Cashy !!....
IMHO....The corner has at last been turned...my prediction in March that for our Great Club that 'Spring has Sprung' ( although it was predicted with some trepidation !)....appears to be coming true (Well almost!).
As for Peter Shaw...the position of Chairman could not be in better hands. This wise and experienced man , whose integrity and loyalty to Accrington Stanley can not be questioned in any way whatsoever will help the Club to achieve all that is required at this time!.....TRUST ME !!.

Indisposition has denied me the opportunity to become involved in those developments which]I would dearly have liked to have added my thoughts to...but I pass my regard and admiration for all those on our Forum who have demonstrated their true support for 'the Reds'..efforts which have...and will provide the club with a viable and exciting future !..

'ON STANLEY....ON !!!!'

no link on their site yet but todays Telegraph has Rob Heys talking about the bid

snippets are:

Accrington Stanley hope to negotiate a new deal with the Supporters' Fund after indicating that they are unlikely to accept a proposal for a share issue.... Rob revealed the club plan to publish their accounts on a monthly basis ... they have outlined six or seven things in their proposal in terms of transparency, being honest and open, that we have no issue with at all ... we are happy to offer Peter Shaw (ASSF chairman) a place on the board ... they've invited us to a meeting next wednesday which we've taken them up on .....

no harm at all in meeting, though i do wonder the "Reason" the club say they are unlikely to accept the share issue thing?

if they are gonna be as transparent as they claim, then tell us whats a no-no about it.?

If the Fund is serious about helping the club and not intent on watering down the current share allocation, then it shouldn't be a stumbling block.

It'll be interesting to see what happens next.

maccawozzagod · 09-07-2009, 16:16

it probably won't be a stumbling block to be honest. Only my opinion mind you.

The problem is if we/Ilyas puts in £250,000 and they blow the money then that is it. We have nothing to show for it etc etc. The point of a share allocation is that we (you and I and everyone who wants to get involved with the FF as and when that side gets up and running) gets full involvement for the money. The FF is/will be owned and run by the fans, we get full say in what happens with the money.

The best example is that I reckon we need 5 full time top paid sales professionals on board at £50k per year each, but Coley reckons we need 5 top class strikers on board at £50k each. The first lot would enable us to have the second lot next year and paid for, but if we got the second lot first then if we did not achieve promotion straight away we wouldn't be able to have them next year and we wouldn't have the sales staff neither.

Eric has always gone for the second lot (short term fix) and ignored the first lot (long term fix) and that is what has got us where we are now - football league but with no money and no visible means of kicking on from here.

We don't yet know what The Don has in mind so its difficult to say what the future has in store, but the FF is there for if and when the **** hits the fan (kinda already has?) so the monies need to be carefully looked after.

To achieve what ?

cashman · 09-07-2009, 18:44

5 full time sales pros @ 50k, don't compute at all to me macca, with the potential fan base etc etc, i dont mean they do not need a sales pro, but 5 @ 50k is a bit rich to me.

maccawozzagod · 09-07-2009, 19:02

hmm, actually what I meant to say (but was rushing cos shudda been working) was that was just an example - I didn't literally mean that we should pay 5 guys 50k.

The point is that most people would agree (The Don included) that it is the backroom where the weaknesses lie and it is this area where any investment should be made but it has to be done wisely.
