Official club statement

Redraine · 31-08-2010, 10:37

What happened to the statement re. the Don's situation promised for the end of the week (last week). Have I missed something, or is it the usual guff?

Stanleymad · 31-08-2010, 10:44

Yep i was told an official statement would be made by end of last week

Bank Holiday could be a good excuse, but they don't usually even give them.

next week perhaps??

I thought Ilyas was going to make a Statement about the board meeting a week following the Newcastle Game; David O'Neil also said he would be making a Statement regarding his Not resigning by the end of the week (last).

I expect the issues surrounding the end of the Newcastle Game and a busy fixture list over the last week have delayed things a little as well as Mr. O'Neil's non- resignation for the Club.

I would hope for the sake of all surrounding Accrington Stanley that these issues are put to bed permanently, it's a good team this year and if these lads are average in coley's eyes; how good are they going to be mid season. It all needs to stop now, resolve the ownership situation and then maybe people will start to invest in our future League One/Championship Team.

On, Stanley On!

Doug, Ilyas made His statement in public and I dont recall Him saying that there was a further statement to come.........As for DoN, well lets be honest its par for the course, infact I had to stop myself from laughing when He said He would make a statement at the end of the week.........as He didnt say which week!!!

Just out of interest, EW was at Oxford on Saturday, went on the team coach I believe, as a guest of Bill Holden

Hi Pete, no disrespect to Ilyas or yourself but I wasn’t in the pub to hear Ilyas, nor was I at the board meeting. Will all future momentous occasions for all things Accrington Stanley be announced at the Crown Public House too a narrow margin of the club’s supporters to be fed back to the rest of us; not really the way I envisaged the new era of openness and transparency.

I am not having a go at Ilyas, you or David O’Neil but not every Accrington Stanley supporter drinks in the crown or reads Accyweb, but every single Accrington Stanley supporter wherever they are in the world are a member of the Accrington Stanley Community.

These are big issues at the end of the day…..

We need all contact with this guy removed before we can move forward, on the team coach, frequently spotted week days in the Crown Grounds offices, lording it on Saturday matchdays in the suite shows to me he still thinks he's the man or he could be doing it just to have a pop at Ilyas.

Baggy, rumor has it that part of the deal he struck with DoN was that he could use the presidents lounge for 5 yrs. I reiterate that's the rumor. However I think you may be on to something with your last sentence!!

Strong Leadership

Working together/ as individuals and as part of a Team

Clarity

Heads aglow with strong ideas

Implementation of strong ideas

Bringing strong Ideas to Fruition

Togetherness and all embracing for everyone

Probably detracted away from the thread but that's my wish list anyway

Maybe so, but I don't think that it was part of the deal that he is allowed to travel on the team coach and sit in the Directors' box at away games. He was at Tranmere last night. The opposition probably think he is still a Director when in fact he is only a shareholder. Are all shareholders allowed to travel on the team coach and sit in the away Directors' box ? I don't think so, so why should he ?
