What happened to "due diligence". Didn't DON go through the books to ascertain what the true picture was before he took over? Or is this too simplistic a question?
Anyway, what's done's done. We are where we are and it's only the supporters together with any benefactors who can be found who'll save us from administration or worse.
For the life of me, I can't see what's wrong with bringing Ilyas Khan on board, he does seem to have an impressive business track record and is clearly an intelligent man of some financial worth.
Long term, however, it's difficult to see how a club of our size can seriously compete in the Football League when attendances are so low.
Clearly there are sections of the Accrington public who support the club - many with soft words rather than hard cash through the turnstiles - but, in all honesty, I think there are too few of them to sustain the club at this level.
Any outside party - by that I mean anyone other than the current directors - interested in investing in or owning the club will need either deep pockets or be able to come up with something radical to keep a club with average gates barely above 1,000 solvent.
