Ok Doug et all, here is what I recall from lastnights goings on at the Crown. I think I've got most of it but as I was rather tipsy I may not be 100% on everything, perhaps someone else will correct any mistakes
Well where do I begin? Last night in the Crown honestly felt like Christmas had come early for almost everyone who was there!!
Ilyas first said that the club was now ontrack to become a proper 'community club' that would in time belong to the 'townsfolk of Accrington', a number of new shares would be made available in the coming months (100,000)ish at an affordable price and with payment options for those who would struggle to pay outright for them. He then announced that Peter Marsden was the new club President, a move that was met with a round of applause. He then went on to say that He (Ilyas) would be working with the council to find us a new 'home' and that He would fund the building of a new Stadium. All monies that have been put in by Ilyas and Peter are NOT loans but DONATIONS that will not be repayable regardless, cue another round of applause. Finally He went on to say that D'on had resigned and would have no further input into Asfc. Rob Heys would step up to the plate and remain CEO in overall charge of the day to day running of the club with guidance from both Ilyas and Peter, he also encouraged Rob to look to hire a professional manager to help. JC and JB will be given contracts as a matter of urgency (large cheers all-round). JC would also be given a substantial transfer budget to bring in players in the Jan window. He asked us all to suppport Rob in his new position and the rest of the staff. Then it was time to party lol.
I hope this is of some help to you.
