..... but the club CAN'T stand on its own! - the attendances are not good enough;
- no meaningful alternative revenue streams have been developed;
- there is no current major sponsorship, and seemingly none on the horizon;
- the weaknesses in managing the SOS Appeal are indicative of lack of leadership skills at senior levels.
If the club is to stand on its own, where does he imagine that the money will come from?

Spot on RR. They should be snatching off Ilyas's hand and, far from keeping him at arms length, should be working out with him a programme for ongoing investment which is desperately needed. All this "wanting to work things out for themselves" is clearly pie in the sky. I hope I am wrong, but they are almost certainly going to fall short of the required funds for the taxman by their own efforts. They are going to have to come to an accommodation with Ilyas at some stage. Why are they slating him off to the extent where someone else in his position, of a less forgiving disposition, would justfiably walk away?
The way forward is so painfully obvious it hurts.
