SU will be fully behind a trust

Good stuff

Is no body going to ask when we get to celebrate this historic event, we “Stanley” fought the Excise Man and won….Surly a reason to be cheerful.

Who said this to you Doug???

I could go along with that if HMRC was claiming something which was not due to them, but that is not correct.

Surely, it has never been a contest between HMRC and the club. HMRC was simply doing its duty in trying to obtain the money owed to it. It surely cannot allow any business, even a football club which is so close to our hearts, to continue and build up an ever-increasing debt.

Am I reading this wrong then, Jeff ?

there both as bad as each other.

I'm no great fan of EW and some will say his methods were madness but nobody seemed that concerned when we were on the up. I suspect it will be the same with O'Neill. He could have handled the SOS appeal a lot better but once the tax issue is behind us and the team continues to do well then there'll be few dissenters. Fickle lot us footy fans. Long term though, I still think a Supporters Trust is the way to go

Please, please can somebody update the total

Perhaps that's because for years Eric told the fans that the club had no debt. Grievances certainly surfaced regularly about his ways in business, but I'd agree with you that they were often ignored because of the club's success.
