Ilyas was on Radio Lancs today and said that he will match what amount of money the board of directors are willing to put in. Whatever they collectively put into the pot will be doubled.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 
It would appear that people are down playing the issue of Mr. Khan V Accrington Stanley; even the gentleman on the radio was reluctant to push the issue. In respect of the interview itself I had understood that Mr. Khan had said that if all the Directors put an equal amount in each in respect of any shortfall he would himself match the individual figure i.e. 4 Directors x £50,000 + £50,000 = £250,000.

I really wish that the first contact from Mr. Khan had been via a unconditional donation; that would maybe more acceptable and could have opened doors. However, as we all know Mr. O’Neil has said that he is not ruling out any offers from anyone.

I also understood that if it came to it David O’Neil would bail the club out. What was clear is the wish of the Directors for Stanley to Stand on its own two feet as a business once this matter is resolved.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 
:)Interesting!!

To my knowledge the directors including the DON have already put in in excess of £200K.

Staff already donate masses of unpaid hours to ensure we all have a FL club to support!! This would also be in excess of £25k.

Then there's numerous volunteers, without their efforts we simply could exist!!:) ( I won't name them as they wouldn't want me to:rolleyes:)

I assume you mean that they've put 'in excess of £200k' into the running of the club, not the government's holiday & moat fund/tax bill, which Ilyas was referring to? :)

If the Don has already paid £100k to the tax man. How come we still owe £300k, which is what we started off at? And if he's put a further £250k in, why the hell didn't he use that to pay the tax so he could keep his business going rather than leave it up to us to bail him out.

This is obviously an old tax bill, are we paying the current bills? Or are we going to have to hold an SOS campaign every year?

Its funny how so many people on here seem to know the amount of money the Don put in and how he can bail out the club however there is nothing on companies house about the Don??? He's not a director or a shareholder. According to companies house it is all still Erics.

I just hope the Don has not been used as a puppet to take all the crap for the unpaid tax bill at the sake of his ego of owning a football club.

I know someone who knows the Don very well and the Don is far from a wealthy man. He can't afford to bail out the club. I don't want to slag any of the so called Directors off, but come on its time to come clean.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 
i take your points Raggy but at this moment in time questions will not/are not/have been answered. This is where we are at so let's concentrate on the fundraising for the next few weeks. None of this will get the bill paid.

Whether it's right or whether it's wrong Accrington Stanley are in trouble and it is down to US to sort it out. You can carry out your investigations in November when it's over one way or another.

DON paid £100k to Eric Whalley to pay the tax man in October 2008 to stave of the first winding up order. He hasn't put a further £250k in the club, he said at the Fans Forum that it has so far cost him around £250k (including the £100k).

In reply to your question regarding the current tax bills, this was answered at the Fans Forum. If you had attended you would have known the answers also you could have asked any questions. If you listen to the transcript of the Fans Forum you will probably get the answers to your questions.

The last thing lodged at Companies House is the resignation of Eric Whalley. DON has bought EW's shares, these will have to be transferred before anything can be lodged at Companies House.

DON has admitted he is far from a wealthy man and cannot afford to bail the club out. He said this at the Fans Forum. You are not telling us anything new.

Now please stop asking questions that have been answered before. If you are a Stanley fan just support SOS and help us get out of this mess. Once we are out of this mess you can ask questions and do what you want but for now please leave this alone.

This tittle tattle helps nobody...... anybody with any cash just put it in!!!!

Anyone who thinks David O'Neill is trying to make money out of the worst supported club in one of the poorest areas of the country is MAD!!!!

Any multi millionaire's listening will obviously be able to make generous donations because they are multi millionaires.....

However, who is making the greatest sacrifice... a member of staff of £10k a year with a days wage or a multi millionaire's slush fund.

Either way, just DO IT people...... its about a town team & our PRIDE not £££££'s & boardrooms

Thanks Jeff not sure if you are the Don or not but here goes!


I take your points but If we owed £300k and he paid £100k, how come we still owe £300k? Has Eric had the money because I am led to believe Eric has had very little off the DON. Is this also why the share transfer has not taken place? Has the DON not paid Eric?

Whats wrong with Ilyas???

Ilyas Khan has offered to come to our rescue and I just think that we’d be better off with a multi millionaire businessman behind us, who has supported the club for years and who truly cares, than some guy that’s appeared from nowhere and that doesn’t have the funds to take us anywhere. Just my personal opinion but I think we should take the money, settle the debt and get back to concentrating on what happens on the pitch rather than in the boardroom. With no money this is just the beginning of the end.

READ MY REPLY. I SAID THAT HE PAID £100K IN OCTOBER 2008. The £300k debt is now.

Who on earth said the share transfer has not taken place. Of course it has taken place Eric has no shares he has sold them to DON. Of course DON has paid Eric. These things take time to be registered at Companies House and at the moment there are more important things to be taken care of.

Now PLEASE stop posting your doom and gloom and beginning of the end nonsence. If you are a Stanley supporter pay your money to SOS and support Stanley, DON, Coley, etc. and help get us through this difficult time.

By the way my name is Jeff not Don. I am just trying to be supportive.

I wish I had a pair of Bollocks the size of David O'Neil's.

Like many have already pointed out there is enough recorded information that you can listen too and get all your questions answered should you wish to make the effort.

Historically this club in its many guises over the past 100 an odd years as suffered from good intentions gone badly, debt, poor attendance and the soding Excise man. Today we are no different from our predecessors and Stanley will stand or fall as a result of Support or the lack of it.

In my opinion David O’Neil, the Directors and the ASFC workforce, players and the supporters who time and time again put their effort in so that we can watch Stanley play football on a afternoon are our best chance of surviving another onslaught and there will be other dark days to come no doubt, it’s our role in History to persevere against adversity.

If Mr. Khan and others who are fortunate to hold the means to aid us in our plight wish to make sizable donations then, please let then do it and with out bounds.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 
OK no more doom & gloom. I’m just worried.

I assure you I am incredibly supportive, to the tune of a few grand in fact recently and I’ll do anything I can to help us survive but can someone though just tell me what’s wrong with Khan’s money? That’s all I want to know.

If someone is prepared to make a sizeable donation, is it not reasonable for them to expect something back. From what I can gather all he wants is shares (bits of paper) in a club today that is worth nothing. Let him have them I say and give us the cash.

It needs to be managed and run beyond the payment of the Tax Bill; Who will do that if the current team of Directors go; I can’t see them selling out their shares without return to Satisfy a few and staying on to run the club at a perpetual loss…..would you. As much as I love Stanley; I wouldn’t.

Like others Jeff, and in no way am I leaping to his defence !. Mr (or is it Mrs? Thun sadly has a head full of facts and figures which, accurate or not' are clouding his (or Her!) vision of the true scenario facing EVERYONE at this particular moment.

If his/her Fiscal meanderings are his/her particular obsession at the moment, then one can only join Macca and others in advising him to listen to, and read the facts as released so far!....he/she would then have a clearer vision!

Far better though would be a switching of the energies he/she uses for this purpose with such profligacy, to the task in hand. Which is....
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER...THE SURVIVAL OF ACCRINGTON STANLEY !!....
and what concrete efforts he( or She!) can make on their behalf!.

It grieves me to appear critical of fellow postees as everyone knows !. but I feel that a little advice given here might save an unfortunate one hours of useless cogitation and valuable time!!.

'ON STANLEY!.....ON!!!!.

I dont think that anyone knows the true scenario, so all I am asking is let's stop speculating about things until we have, hopefully, got rid of this debt. Let's give DON a chance and if by the end of the eight weeks we haven't got the money, DON said that he would consider all options and that he wouldn't let Stanley go out of business.

Friday night match to boost fund
Accrington Stanley have vowed to put all money received at Friday night's match against Darlington into the Save our Stanley survival fund.

A number of supporters groups from other clubs are coming along to the game to show their backing for the Save our Stanley campaign, and some season ticket holders have suggested paying at the turnstiles rather than using their vouchers.

In response the club's stewards have volunteered to work for free for the evening, and to take it a step further the club have asked all match day staff and employees to consider donating a day's wage to the fund, in effect meaning that everyone will be working for free on Friday.

Speaking about the game chief executive Rob Heys said "It will be a great night for Accrington Stanley, again it is another encouraging show of support from around the footballing world with fans of other clubs coming along to our match, and a fantastic gesture from any season ticket holder who chooses to pay at the turnstiles, though we aren't pushing this as a club though as they have in effect already paid their admission over the summer.

"The stewards came to us and offered to work for free and we have had a great response to our request that all other staff might consider donating a days wage to the fund, including all the match day staff, the people that work here at the club full time, and even the players and the management team.

"With so much going on at the game centrered around the survival fund and what should hopefully be a good attendance with minimal outgoings we have taken the decision to put all receipts from the match into the survival fund."

Accrington Stanley entertain Darlington at the Crown Ground on Friday 11th September, kick off 7.45pm.




Better late than never :) :)

Great move by Stanley :)

Save our Stanley
Thursday 10th Sep 2009

Golden turnstile on Friday night
Both the Clayton Terrace and the Main Stand will have a Golden Turnstile for the match against Darlington on Friday evening, for any season ticket holder wishing to pay instead of using their voucher or any supporter who will consider paying above and beyond the standard price of match day admission.

All going through the turnstile will receive a raffle ticket and at half time there will be a draw on the pitch, with the winner receiving a signed shirt, and two runners up prizes of hospitality for two in the Buy-the-House Lounge at a future game and a mascot package.

There have been suggestions made to the club that both ideas may be of interest to supporters, and so we would like to offer something back to those who choose to do so.

:) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I think those who are rocking the boat a bit and not concentrating on the main issue can''t have been around he last time Stanley were in this predicament, the time to ask questions is when the taxman has been sent on his way, not now. Lets just hope that in 7 weeks time the club is still here to ask questions about, as I've said I was around when the front door was closed on Peel Park, it wasn't good for the area whether you were a Stanley supporter or not, just concentrate on making sure it doesn't happen again

With all that is going on around them, and all that is expected of them tomorrow night against Darlington, they must be under tremendous pressure.
Not only to win the match and secure three more points, but also to continue to convince everyone that the fight for the survival of Accrington Stanley is one which all should be proud to be involved in wherever possible.

Ah, bless her - that's lovely. I'm sure the staff at the ground would be delighted to meet her to say thank you for her donation.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 
there would be no problem taking it to the ground Kate. There will doubtless be buckets around to put it into or you could drop it into the office (with the picture please!). Alternatively you could take the money off her (if you dont mind shrapnel) and pay the equivalent donation via paypal or any of the phone/text options on the SOS banner at the top of this page.

There are also numerous collection boxes scattered around the town (one in my shop) that you could put it into.

tell your daughter thank you from the bottom of every Stanley fans heart

To paraphrase!!..

What a little STAR !!....and not only the S.O.S. fund will gain strength from this,but we all could learn a little lesson in giving of our best for the sheer joy of it!!.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 
Hi Guys, I just registered so that i could wish you all the best in your fight. I am a fan of Airdrie United, who some of you may know, rose from the ashes of Airdrieonians who were liquidated in 2002. I know exactly what it means to fight to save my club, and I hope you guys can do it.

You may also know that there is another Scottish club in Administartion at the moment, that being Livingston FC. There is however, very mixed opinion across the Scottish footballing fraternity, about their situation. Livingston have been a club who are in trouble due to spending other peoples money, not paying bills, over-spending on players, and not paying rent. They have also neglected to pay HMRC to the tune of hal a million pounds. This is the second time they have been in admin, in their short 14 year history.

The reason I bring this to your attention, is that they have a creditors meeting on 17th September, where they are proposing to pay their creditors 5p in the pound. At the same time they have been relegated to the bottom tier of Scottish football, while still paying full Time contracts, where crowds will be in the mid-hundreds, rather than 4 figures. I don't know what propsals you guys have for paying HMRC but if it is more than 5p in the pound, then it may be worth keeping an eye on the Livi situation, as it surely wouldn't be fair for HMRC to accept less from one club, than they do from another. there are surely a lot of clubs in the same situation of owing HMRC a lot of money.

Anyway, I really wish you guys all the very best.

Big Man

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 
So what's the score with the current fund total?

According to the SOS site, it's still £22,084.36.

But last night, the tannoy man was rabbitng on about a sum of £75,000...what's that all about?

Why's it taking so long to add the amount from the Burnley match onto the site? How much did last night raise?

Come on, Stanley, keep us up-to-date...please! :)

On the subject of the £20K and £25K, just thinking outside the box as they say...... These were loans, so if they were put into the S.O.S. They would eventually have to be re-paid by the club, so it is better that they are not re-directed to the S.O.S. In my honest opinion :) :) Not having a go at anybody or any posting, just my thoughts on it.
The only reason to put it in would be if the S.O.S. Were short in 6 weeks, but I think that will be most unlikely ..:)

Was something I mentioned to somebody in the shop the other day, SOS is for donations not loans. As you say, any shortfall at the end will need to be made up by 'club' money which can then include the loans.

It’s a bit of an own goal not having the SOS Total updated; gives the critics a bit of a bone to chew on. But this is Stanley all over, from the late 1800s to date, slap shod and indifferent…..Its no good asking or as David O’Neil said on the radio “begging” people to part with their cash…..If they can’t see where its going they may well direct it else where.

Get it updated now.........and make sure the Darlo total is put in as soon as its counted.

That's what's good about the "new" Stanley. In the old days, our concerns about a revised total would have been ignored. Now, the club are a little bit more "user friendly".

Now get the Darlo match takings added!... ;)

Just wanted to let you all know that is me who updates the SOS site.

I am sent an update once a day at end of business from the club and the site is then updated within half an hour of me recieving the new figures and donations.

If I do not recieve these updates then obviously the site stays the same for another day.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 
Dunno, Mab, it doesn't say...

Save our Stanley
Monday 14th Sep 2009

Fundraising round up
Friday evening’s match against Darlington brought in around £18,000 for the Save our Stanley fund, taking the total now to just over £75,000.

Speaking about the figure Stanley chairman David O’Neill said “It is very encouraging to have brought in so much in the first few days of our campaign, and we would like to thank everyone that has got behind us over the last week or so. There is a long way to go but it is great to know that we are not alone and that there is strong support for Accrington Stanley.”

The fundraising match at Burnley last week brought in £35,000, with the remainder made up of our very well supported bucket collections and individual donations either through the website or from people calling into the club.

David continued “The generosity of the people who have come to the club with their donations has astounded us, we have had a cheque for £5,000 from an anonymous donor, and a gentleman brought in £1,000 cash to help the club on Friday night. And I think that one story that has touched everyone’s hearts is young Hannah who brought in and emptied her piggy bank to help her local football club. We will never forget the help we have received, and as a club we must make sure that we repay the faith shown in us.”

Details of the next round of fundraising activities will be announced shortly.

I wouldn't think so, because if we only made £18,000 from a gate of 3200 with everybody working for nothing, some season ticket holders paying at the gate, nearly £500 from the 50/50 draw, plus bucket collections and donations, I am afraid that we are going to be in a mess. If the £18,000 figure DOES include everything then with our usual gate being half of Friday's the maximum we would make on a normal home game would be £8,000. We have 19 home league games left so we would only be generating a maximum £152,000 income from the gate money.

teach 14-09-2009 12:07
Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 
We can't put all the gate money into the SOS fund. How would wages be paid if we did? I know people gave up a day's wages on Friday and maybe this might happen again but we can't expect them to work for nothing for the rest of the week.

"With so much going on at the game centrered around the survival fund and what should hopefully be a good attendance with minimal outgoings we have taken the decision to put all receipts from the match into the survival fund."
So YES we can put all the gate money into the SOS fund.
