I agree. Sorry - I was just trying to reinforce macca's point when he wrote: "I sent an email to everybody concerned last night imploring that we should put this information out as soon as possible. I have had some responses but not all. Nobody has yet given a reason why not to do but it is only right that I/we should wait on all responses."

The funding is available but not just to be 'given' to Stanley. There must be a share issue in order that the Company ASSF can buy shares and so be in a position to have a place on the board (one place).

It is Eric Whalley and David O'Niell who are delaying things so if you want to blame somebody then blame them not ASSF.

"Blame" does not really come into it. As I said, I simply trying to sort out the situation in my own mind. If I plan to donate to the FF, I need to know the mechanism(s) by which that donation will be used.

Thanks, Jeff, for the rest of the post which really summarises the position. (1) The past chairman and present chairman (or present chairman and future chairman) of ASFC say they do not need any funds - despite the obvious fact that players are not signing because of lack of funding. (2) There is no way that FF can supply the funding.

We can all draw our own conclusions from that. People have been commenting on lack of momentum etc - I think it will be very difficult to establish momentum in these circumstances. But that's just my opinion.
