Hello Mab. i dont have anything to gain. i do not believe it is possible to run, or own ASFC for "gain". this club needs the support of people who love it for what it is. On that basis, as I have said many times before, and over a period of years, I am not able to be involved in the club, and the ASSF is a good way of putting money to work for the club, and with the involvement of a wide variety of people who have the club's best interests at heart. Anyone who is interested can become part of the ASSF.

On the question of the share issue, it is no longer going to be something dictated by Mr O Neil. Unless he can put up the money, the club will have no choice but to recapitalise. All directors are legally obliged to work in the best interests of the club, and if no other alternative is available, then there will have to be a recapitalisation (or share issue). At that point i hope that the ASSF (and all fans) can become shareholders.

If i have not answered your questions, please say so, dont let this evening pass whilst you think i have misunderstood or avoided your point.
