This might be me getting it all arse about face; so forgive me if I’m wrong. It appears to me that if Mr. O’Neil wants the financial assistance of the ASSF he first must sell them or exchange a controlling percentage of his share holding, therefore increasing what can only be a substantial loss. If this is the case, then it’s paramount to blackmailing the gentleman and the club; If the money mentioned is there as part of a rescue package; should the worst happen, then the ASSF should in fact bail out the club with the excise man and take an alternative settlement for the money i.e. a “for life” seat on the board with a high percentage free vote and perhaps advertising rights to a small area of the ground so that it can be use to recoup the funds used. Just a thought.
