I have little doubt of you sincerity or you love for Accrington Stanley. In reality you are perhaps the only person who can deliver the means to take us forward.

You have on more than one occasion stated that you do not want to own or run the club; this I can understand given your position and commitment to your business; but given you means would it not be easier to have taken steps to give Mr. O’Neil a way out of his commitment to the club via a direct purchase of his and any other share holdings held by the board who aren’t prepared to reinvest and end any doubt as to the future of the club.

This would end any uncertainty and allow you to bring together the right people to take the club forward on a proper business footing.
