A tenner is more easily obtainable even £50 is but at 280 odd incl vat is too rich for mine and many's blood equates to more than 2 weeks wages for me! I wish as does many that the money was disposable, but big fry for the ordinary fan.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Out of curiosity what do those who hold season tickets think. Those who don't have them are probably looking at the package as a good buy if they can use the ten tickets. Should they have done something different for ST holders ?

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Same here, but I do want them to reduce the price...:)

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Value for money doesn't matter a jot. I just see this scheme as half arsed.

A massive issue of brand new shares would've cleared all of the club's debts and recapitalised the club. That's properly saving the club; properly preparing it for the future. How can fans forgive David O'Neill for passing that up?

But I'm sure the new shirt will be splendid and the frame for the stifficate will be lovely. I'll probably get one. That's what happens when your heartstrings are being tugged and shiny stuff with all kinds of emblems are waved in your face.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

And thats why football is like no other business, it's difficult as a customer to take your business elsewhere :(

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Easy, have a share of a share..... 10 of ya, £25 each, do a draw for the shirt, get 10 photocopies & 10 £2 frames....

There ya go, a share of a share & you can still say "I am a shareholder & I did my bit!"

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

But that's what Stanley directors are good at being half arsed except when it comes to scaring away investors because they are world beaters at that:(

That's an important point, Dave. I've already expressed my thoughts as below.

A season ticket, two shirt sponsorships, donations to SOS - and now this. As a "deal", it's not worth it in my opinion. As a meaningful share in the club, it's a non-event. As a donation, it's a heck of a lot of money.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

oh i think Hannah has cracked it,she asking grandad to get her a share,shes not daft that one!

No its not......Come over to the REDs my Son, see the quality......:D


You will feel better buying the old woman a share if you did.......:D:D:D

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

So this was your idea all along was it and you sold it to The DON :D ;)

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Could put the shirt in a frame and hang it on the wall for 36.5 days a year each :)

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Couldn't afford to :p

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Lol i do like someone who thinks outside of the box :) now there's a thought, u should be the don's Google Page Ranking man :D

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

My Sentiments Exactly!!!!!!!!!!...Spot On!!;)

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Actually proved a lot easier than I thought, Doug. Arguments deployed included:

1. "Think of it as an early Christmas present."

2. "It's a one-off...I'll never ever do it again."

3. "You spent over two hundred quid on clothes last month." (The latter did not prove a particularly promising approach and I quickly abandoned it.)

4. "If I don't and they go to the wall, you'll have to put up with me whinging on Saturday afternoons." (Many thanks to Baggy for that particular stroke of inspiration).

Result!...and, yes, I know, my share won't be worth much and I won't have any voting rights and, as a season ticket holder, my flexi-tickets will be sod all use...but, symbolically, at least, I'll have a little piece of Stanley! :) :cool:

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

I was interested in buying real shares but not these mickey mouse ones.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

So the argument that some people have made about the season ticket holders buying a share instead of a season ticket is irrelevant. As the ones who would buy a season ticket have bought them already. So, the only way the club would lose out would be on occassional ticket buyers, in which case the share option is an advance on the ticket sales.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

once the club has been save you might get a chance - you never know

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Got this response to my email:

Hi Dave

Thank you for the quick response.

That is great news that you are interested.

I am currently collecting the contact details of the individuals and businesses that are interested as the club is still arranging the most practical payment methods for this campaign.

If you could please provide me with your full name and address, and when the payment methods have been sorted I will contact you with all the details about the packages on offer.

Kindest Regards

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

I will ring and if no luck I will e-mail Mr. Edmundson. :)

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

At least he got a reply another admin balls up might just keep my money, people act on impulse with these things it annoys me I've got to pester them to give them money !!!! :rolleyes:

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

quick idea, but if anyone who is unable to use their flexi tickets for whatever reason wants to send them to the OSC I'll try to work on a way of distributing them around some supportive local businesses. Maybe a little way of giving them something back?

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Yes, it is irrelevant now. But when the point was made, I for one did not know the validity of the flexi ticket. Had it been valid for next season, I would have been tempted to buy a share instead of a season ticket.

Not really. The club would lose out because some of us cannot afford a season ticket AND a share. So it misses out on the share.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

This so-called share issue is completely bonkers. A share of what? It appears to me that what the club is doing is selling a piece of paper, 10 tickets and a shirt for £250. All this to bail out the current incumbents? It appears to me they are trying to save their own necks, not the club.

As soon as supporters can get together and form a supporters trust with the aim of taking proper control of the club from those who are running it now the better.

That might happen if the club were to go into administration. It won't happen if those running the club now are bailed out be well-meaning supporters.

You who live in the Accrington area should contact Supporters Direct and get some proper advice. Supporters Direct is recognised by the Government and the FA... it's not a mickey mouse organisation. Also, you might like to contact David (?) Conn at The Independent, he's long been running articles about struggling football clubs and how their supporters are frequently hoodwinked by the clubs' directors. David Conn, I believe, lives in the Manchester area and if you are serious would quite likely come to talk to you - as would Supporters Direct.

Go for it if you want the club to survive. It's not too late, believe me. Exeter City was saved very much at the brink by its Supporters' Trust and received a lot of goodwill and help to achieve that.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

DevonStanley

I agree mate.

Nothing more than spin from Oneill and co.

We have been lied to, decieved and spun lots of open ended language - and at the end of it all, the last action of a doomed ownership is to go into more debt.

These people have failed; but so have we as fans if we do not use this opportunity to change the clubs ownership and direction.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Not quite true. I would expect most season ticket holders would give the 10 tickets away to friends and family so they did not feel they had wasted them.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

This quote from Martin Edmundson is ridiculous

So the share offer has been arranged and the Commercial Sales and Marketing Executive does not even know how to sell the damn things to the people who want them. He is not fit to hold his job.

They should have expected many emails and phone calls from people wanting info and to buy them. They should have been prepared but he has not even decided how to take the money of people.

The club would do better run by school children. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

we're on it ;)

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Believe me when I say I thought exactly the same ie 1000 shares at £250 + what is in the SOS fund = Dave O'Niell and fellow directors getting away scot free. Not so n'est pas, according to our CEO - the money for the taxman has already been collected ie SOS fund + £100k from directors + £50k loan from a local businessman and this will be paid shortly, in fact we await the declaration on the Official website that it has been paid and indeed Accrington Stanley live to fight another season. The share issue as I see it is to consolidate that position for the remainder of the season and the future. We live in hope!:rolleyes:

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

He also wrote a book called 'The Football Business' which is well worth a read. It may be a little dated as it was published over a decade ago, but the theme of how the 'suits' (ab)use the loyalty of the fans seems just as relevant today as it did in the '90s. :(

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Spot on Willie

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

The way some people are slagging him off you would think that David O'Neill had been in charge at Stanley for years. For God's sake he has only just taken over. He took over a Club in a mess, a mess that has been caused by ERIC WHALLEY. Why is ERIC WHALLEY getting away with it and all the flack is being aimed at David O'Neill. EW jumped ship and left this mess for DON to sort out. DON said that Stanley would not go under and he has come up with a scheme to keep them going. Please do not belittle this scheme. If you agree with the scheme then support it, if you don't agree with it please do not put other people off. If you want to take your wrath out on anybody take it out on the person who put us into this mess with his mis-management - ERIC WHALLEY

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

I Totally AGree!!!!.the negative brigade are the same people who failed to secure World domination through the ASSF!.Support the club and stop thinking about personal gains!.If you don't like the idea and concept and your only contribution is to criticise the Directors et al, then perhaps you should "go forth"..............Sour Grapes!!!!!!:p

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

The two previous posts are spot on. Its fine to berate the DON, but lets not slag of Eric Whalley, who in my opinion was largely responsible for this mess

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Whalley has not been forgotten and neither have those two directors.:mad:
I think the DON has done OK, of course it could have been better but we look like we will live to fight another day so give him another chance.:)

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Me too,well said.Lets get behind the club and move forward.As I have said before,if the DON,hadn't,as he said been in the wrong place at the wrong time,what situation would the club have been in with the HMRC.

Obviously it hasn't affected the Whalley's too much as Eric's wife was still seen having a laugh at the Rovers game!!

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

At last! Could there be a light at the end of the tunnel of negativity?
I totally agree with the last few posts. The new regime will make (and maybe has made) some mistakes, but at least there are now signs of a positive future - or, at the very least, a future.
If you don't want to buy the shares, then fine - but does everybody want to know? I think not! I personally have not yet made up my mind, but I will not use my decision to encourage or discourage others. The decision will be mine alone - and my business!
I do, however, agree with Bagpuss, that the two directors should be named, shamed, and, if at all possible, removed. Those two have no place in the future of Accrington Stanley. However, as for the D'on, Rob, John, Jimmy and the rest, let's get behind them and support them, and the club, to the best of our ability. Just three words to finish.... "On Stanley On!"

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

eh?

who wanted world domination? we were quite happy to stop at Accrington!

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Fork handles!!!!!!!!:tongueout

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

So you're saying that the members of the ASSF...guys like Macca, Loweiy, Cowboy and Jeff (whose post you're agreeing with!) are in it for "personal gain"? Absolute junk. These people are amongst the most dedicated fans you could find. If you want to show your support for the Don, fine, but don't go slagging off hardworking and longstanding Stanley supporters. :mad:

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Take it with a pinch of salt, I'm generalising.............;)

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Been to the club this morning and given my details to Martin, got very positive vibes there seems to be quite a lot of interest in the scheme should take a couple of weeks to sort out legal stuff etc.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Well I'm not generalising when I say why do you continue to talk out of your arse???;)

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!

another mug sucked in by the spin.
Look at the facts and the action - snd its hard to see anything positive O'neill has done.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

If he gets us out of this mess that Whalley has left then that will be positive.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

I can say categorically!!!!!!!!.if it was not for David O'Neill we WOULD be in the Conference!!!!!!!!........

David O'Neill resolved the seating issue that ensured we remained in the league. EW was prepared to gamble with the future of the Club by challenging the League!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

And the HMRC,but gambling is in,the Whalley family.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Well you wont like whats coming next....:D

Sorry Simon; I had too......:)

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

It doesn’t matter diddly squat does it. Mr. O’Neil and the current Board own the club and until they are ready to relinquish their hold there’s ****** all any body can do about it; if you don’t agree how the clubs managed or you don’t want to add to the coffers don’t show up at the ground on match day…Sorry if that sound harsh but hey; the dissenters that aren’t going to be lining O’Neil’s pockets nor are the fans…if anyone thinks that the club is making money now to line pockets they need to tell the rest of us how its been done. Just how much have the fans put in to the SOS fund; I would argue that most of that money as come through public participation and other clubs fans passing on their support; we haven’t saved Accrington on our own, O’Neil and Rob Hays have put money in that is probably equal to the fans contribution the rest came from the Public form Liverpool, Blackburn, Burnley and all the other parts of the country who have made as much; if not more effort than a lot of the towns people.

The current incumbents aren’t showing a great deal of acumen when it comes to Public Relations or common business sense; but they have pulled this off and we go on, hopefully up and on to better things.

When you argue that you’re not putting in your hard earned cash; it’s us that suffers along with the admin team and playing staff. Whose wages do you think your moneys going to pay when you pay on the gate; not O’Neil’s or the Boards…..I’d love to know when any Director last took a Dividend, and if they have I bet they’ve put in a hell of a lot more in (collectively) than they have taken out.

Mr. O’Neil and the Board own the Club; it’s us, local Sponsorship and the FA (and other bodies) that keep it going….FACT.

I’m buying a Share; Because I want one and the Club I love benefits; in fact once I’ve paid for mine the business will be buying one; so I will have two Shares; my tickets will be donated to those who perhaps will benefit from them most, the young and disadvantaged of the Township, hopefully this might encourage others to join the cause be they fit & able, disabled, Black, White, Asian or anything else.

Get on and support what’s happening on the pitch, ****** the mandarins if it bothers you that much, a penny in the club, pays for the club, not any Directors beer money.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Just to add….A very small group of loyal, dedicated supporters spent a lot of effort and personal time to bring in much of that money the fans and Public paid; we should be applauding them and their effort on these pages…….rather than rubbishing the Board. A united club pulled this off, if it wasn’t for their effort we would be crying now for our loss; not moaning and whinging because we survived.

On Stanley On.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

spot on - well said

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

You cant compare David Oneills actions to Eric Whalley dealings

Bin Laden is better at Google Page Ranking than Eric.

O'neill has made the worst possible decision for the club and has not be transarent with the facts, except repeating how he gave £100,000.
The best deal for the club was the ASSF offer, this was not the best deal for David O'neill.
IMO, he has placed his own interest above ASFC.
I dont know how anyone could understand it any other way?

An offer was on the table which would have had accrington stanley with no debt, a broad base of ownership and JC would be abe to bring players in (the ban would have been lifted by now)
Instead, we have MORE debt, same incompetent leadership and no genuine clear ambition/plan to establish Stanley as a football league club.

I hate to say it but the ASSF offer will probably never be matched again.
It was all about the club, all for the club, with only the club at heart.
I hope the ASSF utilise their new share holding to expose the truth, input new fresh ideas and ultimatly raise the profile of the club to ensure investment in the playing squad.
Unless the 11 that cross the line are good enough to stay in league 2, nothing else at the club really matters.

BTW - is it Swindon who are interested in Michael Symes?

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

The Khan/ASSF offer could have stayed on the Table; because the Board wouldn’t Jump when Mr. Khan said Jump he withdrew not only his offer to underwrite any share issue, he also withdrew his offer to match what the Directors were putting in? Had he had not done that we wouldn’t have had to take the loan.

The ASSF is only a few months old; despite their collective experience and absolute dedication they wouldn’t have been able to do any better; and maybe no worse that the current incumbents. If the ASSF (with others) goes and sits down with the club and works together change will come; if hostility develops between the two parties the ASSF and or future groups may find it’s self /themselves isolated.

I hope a Trust does come to the fore in time and the Club goes from strength to strength; but it won’t happen if we continue to bicker and point fingers.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Ask yourself this!...was the offer valid?.....money in a bank account?....Why did mr Khan run away?......I'll double what the Directors put in he said!!!!!!.........

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

your all forgetting something.
The current board didnt want his money!
They wanted someone to give them £200,000 in return for a thankyou.


Khan had the cash down, that wasnt the problem. The current board wanted a bail out (sell their shares) or a donation.
Yes, its their shares/their club - but it was NOT in the clubs long term interest.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

I e-mailed the Club for Share Package details at 12.04pm today and I got a reply at
2.32pm today. Not bad for a change.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

What’s in the best interest of the club is that we survived. :)

We can now go forward; form a trust and work with the club and people like Mr. Khan who I would love to come back into the fold and help take the Trust and the Club forward…bitching about the Board and what didn’t or should have happened is point less; unless you are intent on giving yourself an heart attack

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Doug
it seems astonishing someone people have described O'neill as a knight in shining armour!

We had the chance to do more than just survive, more than re-finance the debt, more than beg of the footballing world for donations.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Sorry Doug but Ilyas didn't withdraw his offers because the board wouldn't jump when he asked them to as you put it, he withdrew his offers because of the insults levelled at him by two of our directors, if they hadn't done that the offers would still be on the table. Those two directors should be removed from the board and if they are not I can only assume that the chairman agrees with their comments.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Well said, AccyMad. That's it in a shameful nutshell. A horrible stain on this great club's reputation.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

"If he gets us out of this mess..." is a phrase I've read a few times in reference to David O'Neill. Let's just be clear, O'Neill passed up on the only opportunity to ensure that the club (not 'the brand' as he likes to call it) gets out of the dungheap. The alternative method of paying debt that he has presented is taking out more debt. 'A few short term loans', he breezily labels them. This is what he has chosen instead of having all debts cleared and a club recapitalised. Sing the chairman's praises at your peril.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

I generally refrain from getting involved in matters like this but I'd like to point out one thing if I may.

When this is all said and done, regardless of which group or person comes through to save the day, we are still Stanley fans. As we are reading these posts let's keep in mind that emotions are running high on all sides. Take the time to temper your posts and make a conscious effort to take the posts of others with that proverbial grain of salt.

I would hate to see the club pull through this nightmare just to die a slow miserable death because some people took offense to something they have read and walked away from the Stanley.

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Looks like it was out of the SOS fund, thats why there was only £96k in there

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Ken it was £30k!!!and your proberly right that it came out of the sos fund to buy theses shares on the hope that everyone would jump at the idear of owning a bit of stanley,and put back before anyone noticed,i would hazard a guess and say the fund should be around £147k. i think the point here is how could they (if correct) use the money for something else other than what it was intenden for:mad:

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

Its in the system at the helm of the good ship Stanley - rob Peter to pay Paul hence the reason we are in the mire:mad:

Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!
 

I do not think any money from the S.O.S. was used to by the shares. It was either loaned from some friend/relative, or they would be paid for when the shares were sold.
