It means that we were not late, but we were not on time, therefore they decided to say no

its good to see rangers help the Stanley, as they cancelled the 2 year contract so Stanley could get Naismith for free

Heard Ally McOist had a big hand in that.

To me, this sort of revelation proves two things.

Firstly we have an extremely committed manager, who had to resort to such a selfless gesture to stump up the necessary funds, to enable him to sign a key player integral to his own plans.

And secondly, for me at least, it would also shed a little light on why Leam probably decided that a No2 position at Chesterfield was a better prospect to him, than fire-fighting here at Stanley as our No1.

We're a League Two team in status, run on Conference level gates, backed up by the business / commercial ethos of a Unibond league outfit.

As a club, how much more negative press can we inflict on ourselves??? How many more times do we shoot ourselves in the foot???

And we wonder why the Accrington public don't come out in force to get behind it's team??

Those at the helm, i.e. those in power at Boardroom level, should be aware of one thing to be sure......There's only so many times you can wave SOS buckets around.

This club, namely it's commercial operation, needs to drag itself away from it's "tinpot" public image and start operating at the same level as it's playing staff.....professionally.

Agree Carpon, aint as easy as it sounds though wi our finances?

Yeh know the owd saying, "Yeh pay peanuts"

HMRC usually start proceedings against someone a week after the payment deadline, we must have been late with the payment for it to have been brought into the news. Things have got to change in the way operations are run day to day, surely someone who is independent of Stanley should be brought in who can put a proper structure in place in order to get policies and procedures in place to sort the club out.

The retail side has been a mess this summer and the club have missed out on valuable income from fans due to having little stock for sale. This and the online shop really need addressing if the club want dosh from fans into the coffers.

Well done to JB for stepping in but he shouldn't have to.

Why should JAMES BEATTIE pay the tax man , ASFC have a payment from the FA or football league . they have had half the gate money from MIDDLESBORO , SKY money and the gate money from the PORTSMOUTH game , this income was generated in less than a week . It baffles me why James Beattie has to use his own money to pay the taxman ,Maybe someone from the club can explain WHY ? ,;

All that money should have been banked at the latest on Saturday night the 10th of August...... surely they won't keep large amounts of money on the premises esp when Accrington Cricket club have been broken into at least 4 times in a month.

The tax money will have had to be paid by the 8th for Naismith to play on Saturday

Do you actually know if the money had been paid in? or any cheque cleared?
