My only question (trying my best to stay objective and fair) is who decides whether a club meets the above? Obviously the first two are factual and can be assessed, but what about the others?
And how well do Stanley meet these criteria? Just thought this would be an interesting question for those in favour and opposition to think about...

To be honest - I don't think anyone who is a member of MFC and has thought seriously about it - would expect to bring a club from the Conference to the Premiership (It could happen but!)
At the end of the day the club that will be purchased is primarily one where the owner is willing to sell for a decent price and the debt is manageable in terms of the potential income of MFC.
Accorington has come into discussions on the MFC forum because the chairman has 60% of the shares and said he is willing to sell. To the best of my knowledge the club has little or no debt and owns a ground - if it does need some work.
