"red letter day ??"
"We know the clock is ticking and it’s less than two weeks until our court date so we need to do something quickly to show that Accrington Stanley will survive and has a bright future." quoth our beleaguered yet esteemed CEO !.
So...will we, along with the Agents of HRMC, be kept in suspense for a while yet?...or will TODAY be THE Day.......when THEY receive their dues...and WE receive the News about this act which will make it 'The Red-Letter Day' for which ALL Stanley Fans crave ??...What do YOU think ??. (And it really would be a Red letter Day if one were to notice some upwards movement on the Fundometer !!). 'ON STANLEY!!....ON!!...TO GREATER THINGS !!' |
Re: "red letter day ??"
Rearrange into well known saying:-
BREATH HOLD YOUR DONT Sorry Yonmon, couldnt resist! |
Re: "red letter day ??"
Now’t will happen until they email over the totals to the discerning and dependable Mrs. AccyRed. I don’t see anything happening before early evening really, however, wouldn’t it be fantastic if the club did something that would prove us wrong..

Re: "red letter day ??"
i cant see it be red letter day anytime soon............remember the cheque may be lost in the postal strike!

Re: "red letter day ??"
This is what the Sporting Life quoted Rob as saying:
"We are hoping to make an announcement in the next 48 hours. People deserve to be reassured that everything is going to be okay." As that was last Wednesday, I would expect a big announcement anytime soon to make up for lost time! |
Re: "red letter day ??"
one thing you can say for sure is ASFC Board do like to take their time over things
although my faith is still very much alive that there will be a ASFC come november |
Re: "red letter day ??"
It is an utter disgrace the way the club has treated the supporters over this issue, and there is no possible excuse for it. I smell a huge rat.

Re: "red letter day ??"
Have said all along things could of be done better and still can be
but we are just going to sit this out and wait |

Re: "red letter day ??"
The longer this "wall of silence" seems to be deployed by the club, the more frustrated and worried we as fans get. A simple statement to allay the fears of many, stating that the wolf at the door (i.e H.M.R.C..)has been sent on his merry way would more than galvanise the faithful to continue the hard work that is needed to move the club forward.:o
I've just nurtured ( nay press ganged, if to be properly correct) my 11 year old niece into following the Stanley. After the Shrewsbury game on Tuesday (and sitting in the main stand and after encouraging her along to several home games this season) she declared ......" next home game, I want to go on that end (Clayton End) where all the singing's at!! " Despite the awful, despairing and sickening feeling that has become to be an awful reminder of our current predicament, I could not have the heart to tell her that this was possibly the last time that we might enjoy her new found pleasure. I can't lecture the girl about '62, I was but a twinkle in my late father's eye then.:o The only positive hope that I cling to as I sit here writing this whilst consuming a glass or three of Theakston's Old Pec, is that all will be revealed, in what probably will be the last hours before the deadline, that this particular threat of wiping out our beloved club has been revoked and the debt has been paid. :confused: The only reasoning I have for this ( what I hope IS NOT ) ill founded optimism, Is the reasoning behind spurning Mr Khan's generous offer. Whatever the present board's reasons or agenda for turning his offer down, I only have ( maybe blindly) faith that the present Chairman/ co chair person, board, etc, etc, etc, have confidence in meeting the demands that have to be met on Wednesday.:o If they do not, then these people, who I and we all trust with the running of our beloved ship Stanley, have all the foresight and attitude of the crew of the Titanic. As in, this iceberg can't sink us and keep the band / orchestra playing to avoid a panic.:( I only hope the recent press releases by those concerned do not echo the aforementioned musicians of the Titanic, Lightening in our case does not strike twice and the big bad wolf is sent on his way. Otherwise ,I have a lot of explaining to do to an 11 year old girl who I imagine will be quite upset if the brown stuff hits the fan on Wednesday.:mad: I aim to e-mail the club with my own personal concerns immenently,( as somebody else on another thread has) however I don't expect (as I believe that person has not) honest and forthright answers. They could save me, and all fans the trouble,sleepless nights, worry, etc, etc, etc, IF THEY release a definative statement.......and in the next day or two, before the deadline...... Either... A) The debt has been paid (and also reveal concrete plans of how the club moves on from this episode):) or, and I hope this is not the case... B) The present Board, despite all best efforts cannot satisfy this debt, and seek help. ( and by help, I mean hold olive branches or whatever it takes to get Mr. Khan back onside):mad: I hope option B) is not necessary..... Less than 100 hours to "save our Stanley". High time for our present board et all to stand up and be counted. |

Re: "red letter day ??"
Sitting in the pub in Norden after the sponsored walk I approached David O'Neill, who to his credit had joined us for the last leg. He was exuding confidence the whole time I was speaking to him. I said that many of we supporters were going crazy for some reassurance re. the tax bill, and asked him if he could oblige. He said, that on a scale of one to ten we were on a nine. I then said he must therefore have an "arrangement" with HMRC. to which he replied with a nod. I cannot believe, after looking me straight in the eye, that he will not deliver the goods next Wednesday. What happens subsequently is another matter.
As I had imbibed a few pints by then, and the pub was very crowded, I didn't pursue matters any further, but thought I would post on here with my findings! |
Re: "red letter day ??"
So you think he may have pulled it off?

I too was told the same story by Mr O'Neil and I didn't know what to make of it. To be 90% sure of saving the club at this late stage didn't fill me with confidence, but hopefully it'll all come good in the end. Whatever is going to happen will happen, as it's too late for alternatives at this late stage. |

90%??? With you TM, as I was in The Brown Cow :eek: :eek: :) :)

Re: "red letter day ??"

Re: "red letter day ??"
According to Radio Lancs, Rob Heys has stated that the club willbe contacting HMRC on Monday witha view to paying of 100% of the debt. Lets hope that this is correct.

According to the a-board outside, the Telegraph headline says 'Tax Bill to be paid tommorow'. It's not online yet and as much as I would love to tell you the full story I'm afraid it's a paper I won't part with my money for :)

Re: "red letter day ??"
Article now online;
UNDER pressure chairman Dave O'Neill has told Accrington Stanley’s fans to leave the sleepless nights to him as D-Day for the cash-strapped club approaches. Stanley must repay £308,000 to the taxman on Wednesday to avoid being wound up – and O’Neill is confident the bill will be paid tomorrow. Speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph, O’Neill declared: “Yes we are going to beat it, of course we are going to make it. “On a scale of one to 10, we are a nine now. We have one or two things coming in on Monday but at this stage we are happy with it (the state of fundraising).” But O’Neill admits that it hasn’t been all plain sailing and added: “We had a bit of a let down on Friday. “I can’t mention names, but a guy promised us £25,000 and let us down, so we are a little bit short at the minute. “But we have one or two things to come through on Monday. Ilyas Khan is not involved.” When asked the timescale of the payback and whether O’Neill would be in the High Court on Wednesday, he said: “I don’t want to go (to London). All the bank transfer will be done on Tuesday. “A few fans have said they are not sleeping. Let me do the not sleeping.” |

Re: "red letter day ??"
Club bosses at Accrington Stanley say they hope to have their tax debt in full by the end of the day.
That's despite being let down by some supporters offering the club loans to help pay its three hundred and eight thousand pound bill. The club had planned to settle the amount by using cash from their Save our Stanley fund, investment by the club's directors and small loans. 107 The Bee: Stanley set to pay back debt they now hope to have their tax debt in full by the end of the day,not will have all bank transfers done by today as stated before they have be let down by some supporters offering loans not 1 loan of £25,000 as stated before hmmmmmm |

When I was looking through the listings I was hoping I wouldn't find mention of Stanley... but there we are, in black and white, on the listings for tomorrow.
How often the list is updated, I don't know; if the payment were to be made in full it may take a little time to filter down and for changes to be made... but right at this time it's not looking good... It's going to go right down to the wire, isn't it? |
