Cheers, Ilyas and I take your point about the new era of transparency at the club. What bothers me is how all this looks to the general public out there in the Accrington and East Lancs area. Those who aren't dedicated supporters of the club like us and who don't read the messageboard and so don't know the full story. All they're going to see is the newspaper headlines, reinforcing the impression of "same old Stanley - lurching from crisis to crisis." These are the people who we're hoping to entice to maybe just a few matches a season or perhaps to pick up a little item of Stanley merchandise when they're in town.

I fully admit that unlike Doug, I know nothing of business finance, but surely there must be a better way of doing it than this?
