I am an absolute believer in transparency of action and of intent, so anyone who wants to come along is welcome. Its not a press event or a time for speeches, but just a chance for all of us who hold ASFC dear to meet and maybe even come up with ideas that can bridge the gap. We must not let the club fall. that is the bottom line. I am the first to acknowledge the success that the club has enjoyed whilst Mr Whalley was in charge, but my focus now is the present, not the past.

thats probably quite harsh on Rob Heys Bagpuss.

IMHO whatever happens in the next few months I personally would let everybody carry on with their jobs with a chance to prove their worth with the shackles off.

It has been alluded to many times in the past that they are all doing their jobs with their hands tied.

Rob flustered and blustered all round the subject, and kept repeating everyone is working together.

the Club or namely E.W has no intention of accepting the offer of assistance from Ilyas. In my mind because E.W. will lose control if a new share issue is given, he will only have a small percentage of total shares,56,000 of possibly 350.000, or maybe more if the new share issue was taken up by other fans could possibly get to 550.000. then E.W. would onle have a 10% holding.

Surely E.W. doesn't think you need to be Stephen Hawkins to work that one out !!!
