If you know anything about Accringtonians (and I'm beginning to think you don't), you'll know that they are not backward at coming forward and making their views known. If there was any disquiet about the present ownership of Stanley, it would have manifested itself on this forum, in the columns of the local press and at the ground. It hasn't...Ilyas Khan is regarded as the good guy in the tangled affairs of the club over the past few months (something else to add to the long list of subjects of which you know nothing). He is regarded with the utmost respect by the fans, many of whom are non-PC to say the least.

Secondly, if you think that owning a club like Accrington Stanley can lead to any sort of financial advantage, then all I can say is, this is yet another subject where you display your profound ignorance.

You might also be interested to know that Ilyas Khan is chairman of the Leonard Cheshire Organisation, so the trustees of one of Britain's foremost charitable organisations don't appear to have a problem with him.

And that, Gordie, is my final word on the subject. Feel free to carry on making a fool of yourself...
I will answer your question and reply to Pheonix's quote then I have finished
with this issue.
I do not know of any circumstance's where the over population and further influence of present ethnic minorities in Accrington has been to the benefit of the local community and town. I have never been aware of instances where ethnics have contributed to the community without favour or gain for their own communites first. I know Ilyas Khan has come to the rescue of the local football team to which I am sure everyone is grateful. Time will only tell if Ilyas Khan's hard fought battle for his take over bid of Accrington Stanley is genuinely for the interests of the football club. I am sure that Ilyas is a decent man and the charity that you mention which he is the chairman of, The Leonard Cheshire Organisation, does great work with money raised in Britain for invalid children and adults in over 40 countries worldwide, many of which are undeveloped including Pakistan. I am sure that he uses his influence as Chairman to good benefit.
Does this answer your question and finish the matter?
