[QUOTE=JEFF;748558]Why have the 2007-2008 accounts not been lodged with Companies House ?

Why has the share transfer from Eric Whalley to DON not been lodged with Companies House ?

Why has DON's appointment as Director/Chairman not been lodged with Companies House ?

Why has Marcelle's appointment as Chairperson not been lodged with Companies House ?

Why will DON not tell everybody the extent of the Club's debts ?

Has DON got any money or did he borrow to pay Eric ?

Is the £100k he gave Eric in October 2008 to stave off the winding up order registered as a loan in the accounts ?

If he borrowed and the £100k is registered as a loan, is he going to take money from the Club when he can (when the Football League payment of £160k is paid at the end of October)

At the Fan's Forum DON told everybody that he knew the Club's financial position when he bought Eric's shares and that he had no intention of putting any money into the club, how did he expect to pay the debt ?

ASSF want to invest money into the Club not buy DON's shares from him. Buying DON's shares will not put any money into the Club but only into DON's back pocket. A share issue will put money into the Club allowing it to pay it's debts.

If only DON would tell us the whole truth and be transparent then we wandwhat we have to do to try to save it.

Like TM Jeff, I am somewhat concerned that there quite possibly is some hidden agenda lurking somewhere between how the 'The Board' are conducting the abysmal affairs outlined in your post and the Ultimate Salvation and Survival of Accrington Stanley!.

Firstly, and quite simply, Why would any 'Business-man' worth his salt. seeing his investments and potential future profits threatened by death,
stand by and watch the demise of his organisation showing such little concern as Mr O'Neill and his Fellow Directors appear to be doing at this time of dire emergency???....surely they would be pulling their guts out (pardon the colloquialism !) for all they were worth to reverse the situation...and be seen to be doing so!!.

Secondly, and making an attempt to suggest what might be the response to. your impassioned plea for a clear, concise, honest and comprehensive statement of the overall Fiscal Situation at Accrington Stanley......

I BET THAT HE DOESN'T!!!!

Thirdly....Someone said that where opposing Factions exist....abject failure is the only possible result !!.....I've witnessed this occurrence so many times...I believe it to be mostly true...and I sincerely hope in my heart of hearts that it will not be the case at the end of October !....

Finally, and more subjectively, As a Fan of 'The Reds' for more years than I care to remember, and seeing lack of integrity lead the Club to disastrous
consequences in the past. I have never felt so dismayed and disappointed at the behaviour which is being paraded before my eyes in the media...on our Forum..and from hearing diverse and confusing commentary on the Status Quo....It's as if the apparent posturing would suggest that the demise of the Club just doesn't matter where personal and group dynamics are concerned !
and to my ageing ' yet still observant eyes, this is not what I for one expect from those who really should know better !...

Someone commented at weekend that perhaps it is a case of everyone concerned really not being bright enough to take on the mammoth task of rescuing the Club....This point was made to me somewhat Tongue-in-Cheek....Now I begin to wonder..because (in case no-one has noticed!)...
there are some rather thick individuals at large in the world of Football !...
just maybe we've got more than our share of them!!!.

I'm going on a bit!!...'QUO VADIS STANLEY '....and please survive in spite of what people are doing to you!!!
