You stand on the terraces and sing negative things about former players and think nothing of it but then you idolise a man who allmost, but for the intervention of IK and PM, had that very same terrace closed down for good!!!...............double standards IMHO
I can fully understand the justification for being negative towards former players who brought shame and ridicule on a club and town that supported them week in week out for a long time, but you have failed to justify gloryfying EW, infact there is NO justification! |
Fair enough reading back into the post maybe you wasnt referring to yourself, so for that i apologise.
However the people that sing and shout about Eric Whalley have the right to shout/sing negative or positive things about the man if they wish. They have rightfully payed their money so in theory can say what they like.
However Ew brought us to the football league like promised and also led us to other promotions, he built the start of the rising to the football league and has put money, time and effort into building Accrington Stanley. However bad he may have done i still think (MYSELF) that Eric Whalley is a man who should always be remembered for what good he did to the club!!
Yes we had the debt but how do you know it was SOLEY down to him! He took the club on and ventured with it when no-one else wanted it!!!!!!!
Yes we had this debt but so does every club in the country, Erics money ran dry and maybe if we had more fans, better facilities etc then we could create better income!!!
So if we are slateing Eric Whalley, then we better slate the town of Accrington and also the Council!
I know hes done bad in the past , very bad things. But we all can have our own opinions and because of the great positive things he has done at the club he should be recognised as someone who achieved something! And not someone who put us in debt!!! Weve got over the debt so thats move on i say!
The next person to take the club on is now the DON , lets see how this man does in another chapter of Stanleys history!
