Two questions Doug.

Where would you have hoped that Ilyas and the board would have advanced funds from ? - We have no funds.

Which Premiership teams have we proven we can take on and win ?

DOUG - your living in a dream world.

the board are correct to minimise the wage budget to ensure the survival of trhe club.

fc:stanley · 04-07-2011, 20:11

Use all this money to get a quality striker like Jeffers playing for us? Therefore attracting better players as we show a little bit of ambition?!

maccawozzagod · 04-07-2011, 21:25

Agreed FC.

It would be a shame to break the wage structure (I use that very loosely mind) as it could upset other players. But now could be a great time to bring in some sort of marquee signing that signals some kind of intent from the club. As said on other threads the club has to somehow build on the positive end to the season and so far haven't shown any interest in doing so other than increasing the prices of everything.

I'm hoping this AGM thingy will be the catalyst for some big statements from Ilyas, but I'm also preparing for much of the same as the last few weeks.

Not for me, signing such as that would be a gimmick.

We shouldn't be relying on Illyas to provide the money for players, go down that route and we'll end up bust. Let's see if we can stand up before we start running.

The sad fact is that EVERY single club needs a money man to progress, or even just to maintain the status quo. Without someone writing the big cheques we are never going to be able to hold on to our players. We will be stuck with having to re-invent the team from the bargain basement season after season. That's fine as long as we are content aiming to just retain our F.L. status, but John and Jimmy have repeatedly said they are ambitious to progress as far as possible up the footbal pyramid. That surely won't be possible at Accy unless Ilyas digs even deeper than he already has with such generosity. Or am I missing something?

maccawozzagod · 05-07-2011, 14:25

if we are resigned to being a selling club every year then we need to do something about it quickly. We have been fortunate over the last couple of years that we have had some big games to prop up the ailing finances, play offs, Fulham and Newcastle must have put half a million into the club but where has it got us? The infrastructure is still poor, the ground is still poor and we still haven't got the funds to keep hold of our better players. The club still hasn't displayed any profits neither

We could be another half million better off with the "sale" of Ryan, Gornell and Cisak, can this money be put to use in a fashion that could provide us with future funding?

Once again I hope that the AGM will provide some clue as to how the future will pan out

We haven't heard much from the transparent one of late.As some have muted,thought after the board meeting we would have heard a little more.

That would be because the shareholders are attending the AGM on the 29th July

What I don't get is why we haven't looked beyond the end of the season and exploited the success of team on the pitch to encourage bigger gates and sponsors; we should have been screaming out to people: Look what we can do out of adversity. Come and watch build upon our success; be part of our history.

What do we do? "We're poor, we can't afford to keep what we've developed and we can only afford to maintain last seasons budget".

We should be banging on doors; get us on the TV. get those cameras on the sponsorship boards. Get industry on our side, Ticket bundles for small business, get people to sponsor a Tickets for Troops campaign; get the whole community engaged; how many ethnic/culture groups are represented. engage with people. try engaging with us as a starter project.

I'm only guessing here, but I think because the AGM has been called and is only a few weeks away the future of the club and the contents of the last board meeting are being kept to inform the shareholders first. I think given the recent past where the shareholders have effectively been the forgotten army that is probably the right thing to do on this occasion. It's a new start so maybe there is a bit more proffesionalism ?

Who is there to do all that ? The bloke in charge is half way up Kilimanjaro. Who is running the Club whilst he is away ? Surely at this important time we should have our CEO available for transfer negotiating, etc
