Re: Ilyas pulls out
 

maybe the club have got the 308k they just have not got round to updating the stanley website :D

Re: Ilyas pulls out
 

Given the fact they have received a donation of 25K today you would think the good news that takes it over the 100K mark would have been given for update straight away:confused:

Eric is the man that didnt pay the taxes.
Eric is the man who abandoned a sinking ship.
Eric is the man who put Accrington Stanley on the map.
Eric is the man could be the reason why Accrington Stanley will be off the map.

To be fair i would rather watch Stanley play in North West Counties than under Eric Whalley again. (My opinion).

Re: Ilyas pulls out
 

I’ve always been a miserable bastard….even my neighbours use to say it before and after drinking all my ale.

If we get through this, it will be the Supporters and the FA money and what the Borad stump up between them; but if the real debt is as big as some people say; we would still need the help of people like Mr. Khan, given that I can't think of anyone like him around other than Mr. Marsden, we still need them both on board.

I don't want to be happy, I want to be assured.

Re: Ilyas pulls out
 

Yep to all of that and would brillo pad my botty preferably than have ew back at the helm in any capacity imho.

Re: Ilyas pulls out
 

It is lad, but no, too much work was done to get were we are; there's no going back........On Stanley On, forever forward.

Re: Ilyas pulls out
 

This is a jointly issued statement from ASSF/OSC/Ultras

On Saturday afternoon following the defeat at Chesterfield, the then Vice-Chairman Peter Marsden called a meeting of the following people:

Geoff Heap DIRECTOR Mark Turner DIRECTOR, Rob Heys CHIEF EXECUTIVE (which carries Director), Marcelle Lazarus JOINT CO-CHAIRPERSON, Frank Martindale EX DIRECTOR believed to be there in a minute taking capacity, Peter Marsden VICE CHAIR, Bill Holden DIRECTOR.

Not present who maybe would have been expected at such a meeting were Dave O'Neil JOINT CO-CHAIRPERSON, John De-Maine DIRECTOR and Jim Kenyon DIRECTOR

Peter called this meeting in order to try to garner support for a share issue. He, in his capacity as Vice-Chair, believed that re-capitalisation was the only way forward for the club in its present situation. Not only do we owe £308,000 to HMRC, but it is believed we are in debt to a sum of money in excess of twice this figure. Mr Marsden realised that without external funding this club could only continue to fight fires rather than move the club forward. He was trying to ascertain how much board room support there was to such a notion as a new share issue.

At the conclusion of this meeting it is alleged that a statement was made by two directors that included the words "we would rather the club go under than be run by ASSF or Ilyas Khan"

Members of the ASSF are very concerned by this derogatory comment aimed at a group, a collection of fans that undoubtedly have the absolute best interests of the club at heart. The second part of that statement is irrelevant. However the first part of that statement should be of grave concern to every supporter of Accrington Stanley Football Club. Two people who have the future of the club within their control have stated that they would rather the club go under than ....
We will take this opportunity to remind every director and every fan that as a director of a company one has a responsibility to act in the best interests of said company. With 23 days to go until the club closes its doors for the final time there were no alternative options on the table other than the one issued by ASSF. The best interests of the company were to work with that group and ensure that by the time of the next hearing there is £308,000 to give to HMRC.

Throughout the last four months since proceedings began, the three collective fan groups have tried at all times to act in what they, individually, believed to be in the best interests of the club. We don't believe that the board of directors, led by Dave O'Neil and Marcelle Lazarus as joint co-chairpersons have.

Furthermore it is of no surprise that these individuals have refused to listen to offers of help as neither of these are listed as shareholders nor directors in the latest available Companies House listings.

The collective fan based groups would appeal to all those concerned to put their collective weight behind a motion for the Board of directors to either step aside or carry out their legal, and moral, obligation to do what is in the best interests of the club.

Re: Ilyas pulls out
 

I have just been catching up on some of the astonishing happenings of the weekend. Surely now it is about time that each Director is deprived of the so-far enjoyed luxury of anominity and brought firmly into an accountable spotlight. Any Director prefering to fold rather than --- has no right to be a Director of anything ever again. Come on Media, how about urgently getting these individuals to give a statement of their intent to the fans now.
If the players scored as many own goals as the club management are currently doing they wouldn't even make the bench. No wonder Mr Khan is seen as the only credible / trustworthy solution - can only think that no solution has been put forward as they need fundraising to max and so minimise the balancing effort of the board.

Re: Ilyas pulls out
 

Just read and think on who you think is the best way forward for the club ??

This is not a case of "my dad is bigger than your dad" Ps i am older than ilyas so he aint my dad really..
