Although Stanley is in my blood, being isolated down in Surrey (and shortly to move near to other Stanley fans on the south coast), I do not know the personalities involved. However, from a distance and with no antagonisms in my bagage, I venture to voice a few thoughts. 1) EW and the board obviously would want to manage the situation themselves if possible. 2) The situation cannot be entirely (if at all) of their own making. 3) If the proposed take-over is still 'on', then possibly it is not appropriate timing to be including Ilyas and an official fans' company. 4) Having said that, the club must recognise that fans involvement is much deeper than collective big money (gate receipts). As Cashy has intimated, the 'club' needs to be as touchy-feely with supporters as possible if the drift to B'burn/Burnley is to be stemmed. 5) Once the new fans' company is reality and pledges collected, there can be no excuse for the board not to say why they are ignoring / rejecting help, otherwise they don't deserve customers on a matchday. 6) At the moment season ticket holders may have paid to watch kids in Stanley shirts get hammered every week, so the Google Page Ranking machine needs to wake up and smell the coffee (thanks to whoever posted that super phrase ! ). Can I go back to sleep now ? - us old uns need it y'know ).
