Can Someone Explain ?

Can someone explain to me what if we don't raise the £300k ? As far as I can read if we don't raise the money Mr Khan and his share issue will happen and the debt be paid off :confused:

So is all the fundraising to keep Mr O'Neil in charge ?

Most people I've spoke to know that the money is there so why not accept the Stanley Supporters Fund money and get it over with. :confused:
 
I'm pretty sure if David O'Neil wanted to give up then the easiest option is the offer. The impression I got tonight is there is no way he wants to give up what he has only just started.

I also got the impression that if the full amount isn't raised in the 8 weeks then a fair share of it will have been and the taxman would be willing to discuss further arrangments for the balance. There is absolutley no benefit to the taxman to close the club down, and it would be very much a last resort.
 
unless i misunderstood i thought the don said there were a few options on the table n if it reached that point he would take the best one fer the club n fans.:confused:
 
In away you would be correct; Mr. O’Neil paid Eric for the privilege of owning the club, so quite rightly Mr. O’Neil will want to hold on to his full investment, if the fundraising comes off; and I have my doubts it can be achieved in eight weeks, he will hold on to the club and as a chance of recouping his money; not to mention the personal funds he put in before the take over…This to me is only natural; if I had bought the club I wouldn’t want to give it away.

But; if the money isn’t raised then it seems he will admit defeat and except the ASSF/Khan offer in order to keep the club alive; and maybe the chance to pull something back for his efforts…..That’s how I see it, and I will repeat, it is almost like blackmail “give us control or you lose it all”

Personally I hope Mr. O’Neil, the Club and the Fans succeed; despite my support for the ASSF I think it’s too early for control to be taken away from the current line up.

But I could be wrong…..

Yep he did, but I think he still suggested that he was the best offer on the table :)
 
All I'm thinking and others I spoke to is that they would rather pledge money to the ASSF to take charge of the club than give it to someone who might not raise the full amount and where does that money go ? People think the club has been mismanaged for too long and don't trust the club any longer with their hard earned cash.

that i cannot agree with, whilst i have a great regard fer the ASSF n ilyas, the object must be to get the club out of this tax hole, i have seen stanley go into oblivion once n have no wish fer it to do so again. if that what ya suggest were to happen, that gives even less chance of survival, stupid imho.

I agree but your man in the street just thinks it won't go bust because the ASSF fund is there. I think if that money wasn't there it would be panic stations !!!
 
Surely, if people contribute to the Save Our Stanley fund, they're helping to pay off the tax bill, whatever happens. If another six weeks down the line, it's becoming apparent that the required target won't be met, and the D'oN decides to sell to Ilyas & the ASSF, the more money that's been contributed to the fund, the less money the new owners will have to use to pay off the tax bill and the more they'll have to spend on new facilities, players etc.

Now't new then.......:). I think the last coulpe of days I've been expecting something fantastic to happen....Did O'Neil hint at putting more of his own funds into the Club?

More or less what Rob was saying tonight. They have budgeted 18k a month over the next 12 months, plus some extra lump sums in between for the taxman. Whatever is raised will allow that 18k budget to be used elsewhere in the club once the taxman has been paid.

He said he wouldn't be throwing money at it, but would continue to provide certain income in various ways for general running of the club where required.

Well personally I'd rather give it to the ASSF and have shares in the club if thats how it works. Then all the people who care about the club have a share in it, rather than give my money to keep someone else in charge who will do just what they want. Sorry if thats not what people want to hear but thats just my view.
 
I feel more comfortable contributing directly to the club via the “Save Our Stanley” rather than spreading it between all the different efforts that are being made; nevertheless I have great respect for those pushing ahead and getting off their arses to help “us” and our club, great or small they should be applauded but coordination should be the key target now. Money I’ve already committed to buying Wrist bands and Sparkies Bike ride will stand, the rest will be directly to the SOS and when I have some money to spend “the Shop”
