I’m sure someone will find the odd bit of short fall, job done Mr. O’Neil and the Club pull it off with Mr. Khan’s assistance…everybody should be happy.

Mr. O’Neil and the club gets the opportunity to prove their point, the club gains value which should mean that the Directors and individual share holders who put money in (including Mr. Khan) should have a chance of getting their money back long term, and the ASSF will have to reinvent a role for itself or carry on operations focused purely on fund raising.
And yet, if reports are to be believed, this £300+K will only just satisfy the demands of HMRC !....and do little to make any inroads whatsoever into the 'Total' Debt which, again if sources are accurate, may well be double this figure...or even more!!.

Therefore does it not seem logical to assume that if there is not a massive revenue input to clear the entire Debt, that the Club will merely stagger along from one emergency to the next, and risk incurring the wrath of The Dreaded Taxman on a regular basis ??..and everybody will certainly be far from happy....in fact I can not see 'Happiness' being the overriding emotion existing at 'The Crown' for a long time to come following the damage to reputations and Fan-Trust which we see, hear, and read about on a daily basis!.

If all this sounds a bit of a Jeremaic Lament, my comments are only based on an analysis of what I, and anyone else can read in the media, and unfortunately, on our Forum!!..

So I ask again...QUO VADIS STANLEY ??....Will someone please make an informed effort to answer this impassioned plea???

'WHAT ME WORRY ?'.....just a little !!
