Re: Perspective
we're worth nowhere near £3m as (as already pointed out) we have no real assets as such. The squad is worth diddly, the ground is worth nowt, Stock at Value is next to nil. The only saleable asset is the name. We have all thought for years that the name is more marketable than it currently is but that will rely on more money being spent on pushing.
Accrington could and would spend more on it's club was it shoved down their throats more. A shop in town WILL materialise but will not be sufficient without being pushed. We need to develop brand Stanley and have more partners in town willing to sell it for us. We need advertising boards around town, we need Doctor Proctor staring out of the back end of buses. These type of things will almost certainly not happen under Eric as he is not willing to spend money we don't have on something that may or may not have an immediate effect. We all recognise that we need to be looking for the fans that will come in five or ten years time and that is being targetted by the FITC team, but it needs to be backed up by other things as well. We are currently treading water with regards to these things and maybe a new owner would have a real push at them. But also a new owner may not be prepared to continuously put his hand in his own pocket to subsidise crap gates.
I think that Eric would be quite within his rights to try to make a profit on the sale of HIS club, but nobody sensible would pay more than £1m. And I for one don't want somebody not sensible. Eric will only leave Accrington Stanley in a box
