One of the many appalling facts about the ongoing EW situation is that he was quoted at the time of his linking up with Vaughan at Chester that he was keen to put money at their disposal, after leaving Stanley a busted flush. Now I don't know if that ever transpired in fact, but for him even to have floated the idea disqualifies him morally from any involvement with the new Stanley regime, never mind still being treated as a "Special one" in the boardroom or the team coach.

As an aside, surely today's Observer article is incorrect in giving Frank Martindale and Mark Turner director status?
