The only thing I think I'm sure of is that if a sane man wants his pockets lined, the way to do it is not, under any circumstances, to buy the most poorly supported (quantity not quality

) club in the Football League.
So I'm not buying that conspiracy theory. Equally I don't believe Ilyas or the ASSF are blackmailing anybody. Personally, I will be putting some dosh into Save our Stanley, and if it comes to it I'll find some more to help the ASSF participate in any future shares issue.
