Vice Chairman stands down
Accrington Stanley vice chairman Peter Marsden has today resigned as a director of Accrington Stanley.

Speaking about his decision Peter explained "Personally I think the main protagonists involved in the off-field war of words afflicting our club should be locked in a room and not let out until they have resolved their differences.

"If required I would be happy to act as a mediator - not as a director but as an independent shareholder - but you can only help people if they want to be helped.

"I would urge the people of Accrington to get behind the SOS campaign if they really want to save our fine old club. Time is running out fast."

Peter joined the board two years ago and will continue to hold a 10% share of the football club.

Chief executive Robert Heys said "Peter is a fantastic guy and has been a great servant to Accrington Stanley over the last few years, he has clearly explained his reasons for stepping down and I empathise with him. Although he lives away from the area he has shown himself to be Stanley through and through, particularly over the last few weeks. We will remain good friends and he is always welcome here at Accrington Stanley."

Thoughts anyone?

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

he will not be the last of the main players to walk away from the club.

self preservation methinks.

there is a nasty underlying tone to all this and I hope the FULL TRUTH comes out about what has gone one behind the scenes over the last few hours. Somebody has stopped playing monopoly with our club - they are now playing Russian Roulette. It is quite obvious that David O'Neil is not willing to listen to anyone and thinks he can do this on his own

Rats leaving a sinking ship?

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Only a few words but a fairly strong statement :rolleyes:

I wouldn't say this is suprise givn his need to protect his business interests. The real damage is to come I would think.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

I have heard some shocking rumours, if they are true, I believe there should be a revolution regardless of whether or not we pay the tax bill!!!

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

we as fans are fecked I think.

we either find £200k in three weeks or programme Clitheroe FC into the sat nav.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Come on just post whatever you know, what's that word again begins with a T???

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

I don't think we'll need a sat-nav for the West Lancs League.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

the truth is out there Bagpuss, but its best to let it come from the horses mouth buddy.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Chin up lads, the fat lady hasn't even stood up yet, let alone sing......

Accrington Stanley is an institution; only a complete idiot or a megalomaniac would drop us this far in the ****….

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Point me to the horse please.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

What do u have in mind ? as macca says we are feked a fans despite all the support given to save the club & deaf ears not listening, it does worry me some what:(

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Now you are being about as transparent as the club :confused:

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

The directors were going to make the shortfall I got told, then Mr Marsden says to fans carry on raising money ...... But then says I'm off bye !!!! How's that work then does he not have a duty to the club in these times ?

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

My understanding is that he has stood down as Vice - Chair, not walked out on the club :confused: He still has 10% share holding and is still trying to find away forward for the club :) If I am wrong, then I apologise now :o :)

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

He's a director, if the club goes tits up he could be barred from running his own businesses, maybe.

By the sound of it he's lost the will to risk everything because of the scrap between Khan and O'Neil, makes you wonder what's going on under the surface.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

I hope so......this sounds like he's going to be a visitor in futrue

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

I'd still like to know what will happen to the raised money if the club does fold. I'm reluctant to continue to give/raise money if it's going to end up in individuals' pockets.

The club is a limited company, so I'd assume that individuals are not at personal financial risk, but maybe I'm wrong.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Simply David O'Neill feck off now.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

This is a very worrying developement...I'ld have to say it appears to me that Mr O'Niell walks the low road and Ilyas has the high. I think its about to get really nasty. Shame 'cause I'm sure that both have the good of Stanley deep in their veins.
This ain't making the 'Don' look good.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Wait until it all comes out, you will find that one certainly doesn't have Stanley in their veins, time for a statement from ASSF me thinks.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

I'm a very logical person but I'm afraid even I'm lost in this whole episode :confused:

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

:mad::mad::mad:

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Would someone in the clique or know please pm me these 'rumours' as its appears that im falling out of touch with peoples extra knowledge :(

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

This bloke O'Niell isn't a reincarnation of Bob Lord ??

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Maybe it’s a necessary evil; being positive maybe Mr. Marsden resigned in order to highlight the extent of the position, maybe as a share holder he’s better placed to assist or invested personally or maybe not….maybe fate as another card to play in our illustrious history, maybe Mr. O’Neil is due to take the role of the most hated man in Accrington.

I would have thought we might have heard from Mr. Khan on the matter of Mr. Marsden’s resignation, after all they appeared to be walking of common ground……

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

He has steped down as a director!

Maybe some truth in that.....

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Personally I think this episode is getting into a clash of people rather than about the club. I cannot see the club raising the £308k so that leaves only two options being that the DON finds the money or gives control to the ASSF. I think that the ASSF has been given a bit of negative publicity on the forum recently but I feel that it is the only option left to save the club. I hope that Ilyas has the money ready and waiting to provide the ASSF as an option at the winding up order hearing, this may just save the club.

On the subject of the DON, I feel that he has let the supporters down after all that was said at the fans forum he hasn't followed this up with corrective action. Most of the fundraising has been generated from outside the club and very little input has come from within the current structure. This says to me that a new regime is required in order to help support the club for the long-term. Ilyas has the best interests of the club at heart and would help to drive the club forward. I think it is a big statement that Mr Marsden has stepped down today, it may just demonstrate that he has had enough of the DON.

If the club is saved by the ASSF I feel that the club does have a bright future with one of the best squads for years. John Coleman is getting things right on the pitch so lets get a backroom team to assist him and not hinder him.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Same here being so far away!

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

:( What the hell is going on at our club??. Vice Chairman Mr Marsden stands down WHY??... :)Could it be hes going to mount a take over bid and by Mr O'Neil out thus enabling SAAF to invest in our club;)

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Would someone with some balls and' in the know' please step up and tell all-Mr T perhaps?

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Can somebody just say that the ASSF can be there at the meeting at the end of october to save Stanley?

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

May be totally wrong, but I wouldn't imagine they have a legal right to be there

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Dont know about!! that didn't the assf say they told the judge that they had the means to pay the Tax bill if the club couldn't raise the amount in time,therefore may be legley bound to be there.. i might be wronge,but i think its posted on this forum:)

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

I think that they submitted paperwork to that effect Mab, do not think they went! :)

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Jase says on the Ultras Forum that there is now no cash on offer from Ilyas. If this is true, it's desperate news. If not, it needs clearing up as soon as possible. Perhaps those on here who are "in the know" might at least tell us what THEY have heard! Many of us are not Accrington-based and this forun is our only link to the ongoing shambles:(

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

it might have been clearly explained to Rob but none of the reasons are explained in the press release

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Quite so.

The inference is very clear, but I would like more than an inference. Especially in these dreadful circumstances.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Interesting to hear that O'Neil wasn't at the meeting, but yet the decision was made in his absence.

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Eric Whalley was though.;)

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

Don't think so.

Hope that is just a joke....

Of course it was.;)

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

:eek: Behave you sod.....:rolleyes:

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

What decision ? If the majority shareholder isn't there, the rest of the board don't have any decision to make do they ?

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

You don't expect that lot to understand procedure, do you?:rolleyes:

Re: Marsden Stands Down
 

board meeting = one member one vote

should a belligerent majority shareholder be outvoted at a directors meeting (assuming he is a director/chairman/secretary) then he can call for a shareholders meeting to overrule being overruled. And as a 50% or over shareholder can't be outvoted at that meeting ......
