Mel; you are absolutely right to carry on with the passion you feel. What I’m saying is we have to recognise that we may well be stuck with what we’ve got and will for those very reasons you have highlighted; work with them.

Jeff; Khan said he has. If he hasn’t yet done it I wouldn’t blaming. If I had put my home and my family’s life on the line to save Accrington Stanley only to be met by the negativity on here I’d say **** um and walk away…He hasn’t and that means something, it’s got to do. My understanding is that O’Neil as done the same.

Dave: you know what you’re talking about, in two or three years time with proper financial support anything is possible, but in my opinion not at this time, and yes there will always be volunteers ( and I know what you allude too) my point is we would need volunteers with money in there pockets.

Chimer’s point is a good one and one I have alluded to in the past, if they wanted to be nasty they could shut the doors this afternoon and be ******. But they won’t and I don’t think they ever will.

The people in place now have and are putting money in other wise the lights wouldn’t come on and staff wouldn’t get paid. Very big mistakes have been made and there are no short quick fixes, we all know that yet some of us seem to be under the illusion that we can get shut of every one at the crown and live happily ever after on the back of Mr. Khan; actually his money.

When I wrote to Mr. Khan to thank him for what he did on Friday I said that every eye of every supporter would be on him for Direction and Leadership, now I have no idea what his agenda is but I am grateful for what he’s done… he knows better than the rest of us that little can change at the crown without massive financial investment.

The Board currently including Mr. O’Neil and Ms. Lazarus know the only way forward is to work with people like Mr. Khan and Mr. Marsden and the supporters of Accrington Stanley, while we are screaming for blood they aren’t going to be to receptive.

They have made a massive balls up and they have to make it right. Healing begins with all of us working together to make sure they don’t do it again.
