If there is substance to this latest announcement then I'm disgusted....
For two of our "so called directors" to alledgedly utter such a statement shows the utter contempt of which they hold the true lifeblood of our club (our loyal supporters) in.....
Talk about Deriliction of duty ???? If true, this latest statement beggars belief.
As for the true levels of debt, we had a good idea and Mr. Khan had the insight, that the true figure of debt this club owed was
far more than the £308K owed to H.M.R.C.
Our Chairman has released a statement in the last 24 hours stating that he is aware of his responsibilities and states that he will not allow our club to fold again.
Despite this statement, The club and it's board have not offered any insight into:
a) How the initial debt to H.M.R.C. will be satisfied....
b) Any concrete offer of their own financial input...figures,amounts, dates???
c) The true level of debt the club is accountable for....
or
d) Why they, if as a collective???, have chosen to dismiss the offer from the ASSF, the very generous offer which includes funding from a very generous man, who, like all fans, wants to see the club survive.
Instead, we are offered statements which do nothing to appease our concerned fans. They do nothing to clarify the whole mess the club is in. They appeal for the help from the very people who they are treating in (my view at least) a very contemptous manner , asking us to work together in difficult times.....
If this latest statement (the so called attitude of two of our directors) has substance...IN MY VIEW.....the two involved have no sentiment for our club. And the two concerned have no place within this club....
If Mr O' Neil and the directors have the best interests of this club and it's survival at heart, then now is the time to step up to the plate:
a) Set in Stone, I.E. make as a collective a statement that will once and for all settle the matter.Put forward their collective response, i.e. their own offers of financial assistance and concrete plans on how they, as the board intend to satisfy all debts.....or
b) Admit that the clubs present board does not have the necessary collateral or any strategy to get us out of this mess, be it temporarily or long term....
If they (As the board of this club) choose to sit in their collective "ivory tower" and act in the manner with the attitude of the "supposed two" directors who "supposedly" have uttered this contemptous statement....then this sorry situation has only one outcome.....
The clock is ticking and ASSF's and Mr Khan's very generous offer of financial input, albeit to the present dislike of the current powers that be, has been rebuked, refused or whichever words the present board may wish to attach to this offer may choose....on numerous occasions. I hope like many, Mr Khan reconsiders and may yet step in to help avert this potential catastrophe.
If the club is to be saved, then actions speak louder than words...Time is short....and one thing I cannot understand and perhaps the present board can enlighten us all on, brings me to my final point......
IF Mr Khan (and ASSF's) offer is so unpalletable, what do the current board think their shareholdings will be worth if this club goes to the wall in 18 DAYS TIME????
