Thankyou to those who appreciated my most.
The fact is the truth only really comes out when the event has passed usually.That was certainly the case in 1962 but that was a different era.
The internet has changed that significantly and even allows me to say what I think anonymously.That therefore allows me to say more and that can only be a good thing.
Yes I do have first hand knowledge of the inner workings of the club and under the Eric Whalley regime I saw the writing on the wall before a ball was kicked in the football league. I told him so to his face and told him that under his leadership the club would be back in non-league within 3 years.
OK I was wrong.How wrong time will tell.

Despite having followed the club since the 70s and right up to the league days I turned my back on it and waited for the inevitable.You just cannot run a football club like Eric tried to.A business maybe but not a football club.Not a football club that relies on goodwill and is lets face small clubs rely on that more than anything.
When Eric bailed out it could only mean one thing.He was deserting a sinking ship.Now most honourable captains go down with the ship.But we all know by now Eric and the word honourable do not figure in the same sentence.

This was the man who repeatedly spoke about his sons being handed the club when he hung up his axe.The picture is one of what Eric says really has little credibility. Ask his staff ask his sponsors ask his creditors ask his business associates.

He turned down numerous offers for a part of the club.Offers that would have injected much needed capital into a struggling club.
WHY
He wanted total control and to be his own dictator and dictator is the best description. I saw the term Mr Accrington Stanley once applied to Eric and I nearly wept.

Eric was one of those who would have bought any club he could on the cheap.Stanley was not the first club he tried to buy.

ERIC WANTED AN EMPIRE TO RULE AND HE GOT IT.

Like your Peter Ridsdale Ken Bates even Micheal Knighton he wanted any club who would put him in the limelight.
