Total disagree. Obviously, our two co-chairpersons have no experience of running a football club in any way, shape or form. However, the other directors only have three years' experience (apart from Mr T who has experience from his time at Bury). Ilyas is not stupid and if he had assumed control of the club, he would have brought people in who do have the ability to run a league football club. To my mind, accepting the Ilyas/ASSF offer represented the only chance for Stanley to survive and progress. Even if Mr ONeill manages to meet the HMRC demand (and there are grave doubts that he will), then what of the longterm future? Mr O'Neill keeps telling us that he has "plans" but he never says what they are.
