Seems wrong ownership Is the poison of football today, many wish the good old days back, even in top flights football has to turn on it's head it's ruining the beautiful game as we know it

Draft a letter to Mr O’Neil and Mr Heys asking them to resolve the Contract issue for the sake of the club and both John & Jimmy and the players. Get the Observer and the Telegraph to publish that this letter will be available at the Town Hall for the public/supporters to sign and get as many signatures has you can.

Then present it at the Club on mass, candles and flags ablaze………..press, photographers the works.

I'll drive over and sign it...

I've just been reading O'Neill's profile on the fishy site. It says this:

With interests in four other local businesses, David took the majority share of Accrington Stanley in June 2009 from predecessor Eric Whalley who had been at the helm of the club since 1995.

(My italics)

What an interesting phrase that is : "took the majority share". What exactly does the word "took" mean? Bought? Accepted as a gift? Borrowed? Or something else altogether?

Do you mean something along these lines Doug?

An open letter to :-

Messers O'Neil, Whalley and Heys,

Sirs,

We, the undersigned demand that the current situation with reference to the contracts of Manager John Coleman and Assistant Manager Jimmy Bell be brought to a conclusion with imediate effect.

It is common knowledge that these contracts have been sitting waiting to be signed for over eight months, and this, in the opinion of the fans of ASFC is totally unacceptable.

Both Mr Coleman and Mr Bell have given 12 yrs of undying support to ASFC and it is our opinion that this remarkable achievement should be recognised by the Club, and the aforementioned contract/s be ratified forthwith.

Failure to do so will surely mean that both Mr Coleman and Mr Bell would be forced to seek employment at another club, which in turn would, we feel, have a detrimental effect on ASFC's league position/standing.

Mr O'Neil, when you first took over the day to day running of ASFC, you said at a public meeting that you wanted us to 'trust you'..........Well Sir, you have repeatedly scorned that trust in the past 2 years, you now have a chance to at least start to recoup some of that by securing both Mr Coleman's and Mr Bell's services. We implore you to do so.

Regards, the undersigned:-

Feel free to add/subtract or ignore!

"An announcement regarding the pair will be made before the end of next week."

Why does that not reassure me one little bit?

But i thought they had verbally agreed contracts, If so then it justs needs typing and signing on dotted lines??

The end of NEXT week! So, it could take seven working days to type up and sign a contract? Lincoln could've made their move long before then.

It just says "end of the week". It doesn't say end of this week. "End of the week" could mean the end of any week. Anyway, he is just telling lies to try and shut everybody up.

More fobbing off.

Jimmy Bell said in teh paper a few days ago that the contract terms are long agreed. There's no need for negotiations.

How can so much idiocy be piled into that one portacabin off Livvy Road?
