I don't think I have ever been as angry. I am absolutely furious at the (lack of) actions of Mr O'Neill. As Ilyas stated, this is definitely the behaviour of a man totally out of his depth (morally and financially) and of an individual who wanted the "prestige" of being a football club chairman without any understanding of what the role should entail. I simply cannot believe the rest of the board have sat back and let this happen. Where is the £100k promised from the director's? Utterly shameful. Mr Whalley's role in all of this will no doubt become apparent over the coming weeks and months. As most of you have said, this whole saga absolutely stinks and there is something extremely dodgy going on. I have no doubt whatsoever that for some unknown reason, the current hierarchy are willing to let the club be wound up.

It's a crazy state of affairs - how long can Ilyas and Peter keep coming to the rescue? The actions of these men speak far louder than any words - whatever happens, their actions have been transparent, timely and totally honest and I'm sure I speak for the town when saying how grateful I am for this. The current ASFC board do not come even close to them - the lack of communication and action from the board is despicable - this affects not just the club, but the town in general. I am sickened by this and feel totally helpless stuck down here down south (especially after finding you guys on this forum recently). I wish I could do something tonight to help in a tangible sense. I hope we can come to a point in the near future where I can invest 2/3 of weeks of my time to getting into the detail of the business and commercial side of the club to transform it in the way that we all deserve. This will obviously only be possible with new owners as the current ones don't seem interested in us even having a football club any longer - their actions demonstrate that they want ASFC wound up asap.
