I honestly don't see anything wrong with Redskin's questions, but it does seem as if the ranks have closed around him.

He (I assume it's a he) actually asked how much the commitee had contributed and the reply was the customary "£25,000 loan", which we all know came from Ilyas Khan and not the commitee. He also asked what skills/experience/qualities the members were bringing to the table with the view of one day running the club, and with the exception of the last 2 ASSF contributers, the main quality appears to be the love of the club. I don't doubt the passion of the 'board members', but I'm equally sure that everyone who's been involved in running the club over the last decades has had similar levels of passion and love of Accrington Stanley, but it hasn't really been enough, has it?

The problem for me is that there are multiple sides to this whole affair and it seems obvious to me that there's a lot of information being withheld and personal agendas being followed. By now the situation should be clarified, but instead it appears more clouded than ever, especially with all the back-biting and in-fighting.

I don't for a second think that anyone is really interested in what I think, but I thought I'd have a say anyway. Personally my interest is almost at the point of extinction.
