Heard a few rumblings around the ground tonight that Eric is going before the end of the season - A.S.A.P.??? Anybody else out there hear anything ??

cashman · 25-03-2009, 00:25

This is, as K-P said in another thread the worst kept secret at ASFC at the moment.

Whichever way it goes he has been a shrewd custodian for stanley without a doubt ! I could name many chairman who have wrecked clubs. litigation laws being what they are I would not name them , nor could I give you any leads.He should always be thought of as having done a great job, okay one or two on here would like european football but I think a little patience might be required on that one !

maccawozzagod · 25-03-2009, 10:36

it seems many people have known about this for a while, but I don't think it's fair to comment on summat that may or not be happening. We should wait until an announcement is made one or t'other. Revisit the thread in about six months then?

Well as an outsider I don't think Stanley wouldn't have made the progress they have but for Eric, there are lots of people get into football to make something out of it and when it goes belly up they leave the club high and dry, Eric has been very prudent in the way he runs the club, they could certainly have done a lot worse. I just hope any one coming in has the same ethos as Eric or the ship could become very rocky without much effort. Just think what would happen if the Rusky pulled out of Chelski, with their overheads

Only brought it up as I was told that Eric wanted to stay until end of season, whilst ?? whomever wants to take over A.S.A.P. That is my real reason for the post/enquiry.

Sorry if it has come over in the wrong manner.

I feel that as has been stated many times Eric has done wonders and deserves to bow out with grace

WOW this is huge for you all.I feel sure that whoever he's floogged the club too will have the clubs interests at heart and won't fleece it and kick it into touch.
ERIC WHALLEY -RESURECTION GENIUS

MCR ADIM · 26-03-2009, 16:58

I also hope that the new owner. Just remembers what a great job Coley and Jimmy do and just because we go on abit of a losing streak he does not sack them!

redsocks · 26-03-2009, 16:58

Come on chaps, I'm a long time Accy Stanley boy now living in Massachusetts. The only info I get is reading this board. Need more info on this story.....please!

Bagpuss · 26-03-2009, 16:59

Let's hope we can finally move forward, I bet one or two might have sweeky bums depending on who takes over, this is the news I've been waiting for to buy my season ticket.

SamF · 26-03-2009, 17:03

Really hope the new guy has the clubs interests before their own.
