Posted via Mobile Device. Typical a catch already lol. But least a meeting and fair voting is being put forward, must be a 1st for a long while.. Good news for share holders to get some input at last.

If there has to be a shareholders meeting to vote him in as Chairman he obviousley has not bought Eric's 51%. I would imagine it would take quite a while to contact all the shareholders to arrange a meeting so it looks like we won't have a Chairman for a while, unless he and Eric have a meeting and their combined shareholding is 51%. In todays Telegraph it says that the takeover has not taken place yet but should be finalised by the end of the week (been saying this for months). Also as far as I know there hasn't been a meeting arranged for Thursday morning, or any other time, with the FF or the ASSF.

Reading David O’Neill’s interview in this weeks Observer doesn't inspire me with confidence knowing Whalley could potentially block anything that the club plans to do to move forward.

Sorry no link yet.

Also from LET, today - Stability now the watchword at Accrington Stanley (From Lancashire Telegraph)

It doesn't seem as though the club is in a position to sit down with anybody, just yet.
Have they organised a shareholder's meeting?

Until that meeting takes place nothing will change as witnessed by a friend who was in the clubshop this morning, a female who was behind the counter was stressed at having to do even more work to her already full day and in the presence of both Whalley and O'Neill said she would not be able to run the shop and complete her other duties to a satisfactory standard. She was told in front of customers by Whalley that she bloody well would be in charge as it's now part of her job, O'Neill said nothing. Nice one Whalley why don't you just go and leave O'Neill to get on with it, although I suspect that isn't your plan.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, as they say in Church.

Why would you want a basket on the front of your tippler?

Too right, my optimistic mood is waning over this takeover, for it to work Whalley will have to make a clean break so we can see what O'Neill can do, if Whalley tries to carry on using O'Neill as a puppet chairman we are doomed.
