"red letter day ??" - Page 12

Statement mentions they want " a week or so" ???

Judges response to this appeal for extra time probably will read along the lines of "you've had eight !!!"

Whilst it may not make financial sense in the long term for H.M.R.C. to pull the plug tomorrow ( as in future tax revenue lost ) If every business in a similiar situation went in front of him with the same excuse, then H.M.R.C. would probably have a long, long queue of people ready to peddle the same excuses......

Was O'Neil not asked to point out on Sept 17th certain legal finer points by H.M.R.C. stating that "A.S.F.C." were being used as an example by others in trouble with the taxman for "requests for extra time to pay"???

To go back and seek another adjournement for extra time, smacks to me of a final desperate act,which will (in my view) will be rebuked by the judge who will probably bang the final nail home and resign the club to history once more.

The legal chap quoted in the L.E.T. stated that Stanley were technically " drinking in the last chance saloon"..Looks like H.M.R.C. are about to call time tomorrow......

The closing line in the article reads..." Of course, you cannot rule out something being salvaged but that would need substantial backing "

I think we all know that that particular boat sailed some time ago.

No Stanley fan can forgive that.

I don’t disagree with you at all. Perhaps Mr. Khan would step up to the plate and donate the shortfall before our appearance tomorrow.

There isn't any time, surely. Even if there is, the club is ****ed with O'Neill at the helm. Even if we play Grimsby on Friday we'll be gone in the summer.

But I accept your feelings.

Out of order Doug, this is the sort of remark that O'Neil is likely to come out with..............In respect of Ilyas Khans withdrawl, He was insulted, ignored and villified by O'Neil very publicly, I for one dont blame Him at all.............there is only so much a Man can take before saying enough is enough.

It is time for O'Neil to go, along with the board members who stated that they would rather see the club fold than accept Ilyas's and the ASSF's offer.

And before the word 'unconditional' comes out again, ask yourselves who in thier right mind would 'give' £250,000 to a failing business with NO conditions attached.............Answers on a postcard please.

Thanks Coley, JC and all the players for the memories, Being at woking when we got promotion, Jimmy Ryan scoring 10 brillaint goals last season. Knowing that this season we had a team capable of going to wembely. Ultras for making the terrace a QUALITY place to be, with the songs and the atmosphere, no-stop, Away games aswell.

Don’t accept that Pete; I was referring to those who offered short term loans and then failed to deliver

Not really doug, the club should not bank on offers till it was put on the table!

Pendle Red · 27-10-2009, 17:19

Red Letter Day............more like Red Rag to a Bull S..T Day

I suppose the fat lady has not quite sung yet, maybe UK had some inkling of an idea with his meeting at the ground?

Maybe a Candlelit Vigil..... with some Stanley Songs (to lift the spirits) It may just get us some positive Google Page Ranking from the Press before tomorrow??

Sorry Doug, but it read differently to me, especialy taking into consideration your previous posts re Ilyas and the ASSF mate.

No offence meant or intended, but I do stand by my remarks!!........However I accept that yours were not directly aimed at the persons I thought they were

Pint?

katei77 · 27-10-2009, 17:20

Seriously Doug, if yours or our business went bust tomorrow who would we blame. The customers or lack of them ? People offering to lend us money and then changing their minds ? They may be reasons but they are not the blame factor.
