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.

Totally disagree. In the first instance it wasn’t Mr. Khan’s stated aim to take control and secondly why would he need the ASSF to front him if he was going to bring people in with the ability to run a league club, why not simply invest directly into the club, buy a directorship and put your own man in with the ability to run a league club who is acceptable to the board, Simple.

I do agree that Messrs O’Neil and Lazarus have little or no experience at running a league club and I do concur that there is a grave danger of all this going tits up but if we are going to debate the all issue over and over again then at least recognise that the ASSF route was not perhaps the best solution and BOTH PARTIES should have worked closer together and been more understanding other each others needs and taken a more flexible approach to resolving the situation instead of the fixed Conditions apparently applied by the ASSF.

Don’t get me wrong; I like those people in the ASSF who are known to me, I know they have the best interest of the club at heart and would not want to do anything to hurt the club…but where is there long term plan, lets get it published on here that why we might have a clearer idea.
