I think the problem was that it was not announced when and why he bought into it as it was nothing to do with Accrington Stanley as such. If it had been announced that EW Whatever had spent xyz then the inevitable questions would have come from the Whalley Out brigade that he can buy this that and t'other for himself but not for the club!!! You know what people are like.

I dont know the ins and outs of the deal and very few people will, but when the Telegraph heard that he was involved with a company that had unpaid debts they made it sound bad. They didn't tell any lies but the chronology of events was represented and neither was Erics version of the story until later.

Most people having read something closer to the truth will realise that it was nowt to do with him at all and that he has actually lost money on the deal.

As with most things though, people will prefer their own version that makes him out to be the villain rather than somebody who was trying to do the right thing and Stanley would have profited from it as well in quite a big way.
