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.

Ditto in respect of both Camps....Money should go to the SOS because it the surest way of getting the club out of the ****e, I support the ASSF and I hope that when it comes to shares being issued I will not only chip in to the ASSF but I also expect to have the opportunity to buy shares of my own, but I fear that I will be denied that opportunity if any share issues is taken solely by the current ASSF/Khan bid.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not against the ASSF or Mr. Khan. I own my own business and I’m 50 grand In debt to it and will for the next three years, if someone came to me and said they will pay off the debt for a controlling interest in my business I’d tell the to sod off, it’s all my money that’s gone into it and for two solid years I’ve worked 7 days a week - 7.00 am to 11.00 pm, even after injury and ill health, I can understand how O’Neil feels, as well as the fans. Let’s give him some rope and hope that the ASSF and Mr. Khan make a gesture of good will financially, like someone as already said, let bicker about after we’re safe.
