The way things are going this week with the two appointments on the commercial side and players signing up Mr Coleman and O'Neill are going to have a good night on Thursday. If I do manage to make it I'm struggling with questions to ask, To be honest despite what certain people think I get no pleasure from having a whinge, the only thing that still niggles me is how much involvement Eric still has. We do still need a major sponsor and the betting scandal hasn't gone away yet but things are looking up.
I had a chat with a manager at Hollands Pies to see if they would be looking for a new team to put some money into now the Burnley contract has ended. He said there was little chance of dealing with Stanley as they owed money and they were annoyed by Whalley which was why they stopped all dealings with the club. The money that was available is going to 5 or 6 charities instead, nice one Eric.
