I'm not convinced about Rob's quote. I understand why he said it, he probably has one of the most difficult jobs in football because of the situation , and a constant headache from banging his head against the wall, BUT is positivity that difficult to achieve ?

One change and Stanley will have more positivity than they can possibly handle. They will have enough to bottle it, sell it and compete for the Champions League on the proceeds

I can't wait to see Jimmy's 101 ways to support the club. do you reckon it was on off the cuff remark and Coley has made him sit in a corner and write them all out.

I think I would struggle to get to double figures. I hope he has copyrighted the book

Reading some these posts is enough to make you cry.
Here we have a club that so many love and want to help develop in so many ways but, apparently, with one exception - the person who claims to own it.

Stanley needs regime change in the boardroom.

But, and I really don't like to admit to thoughts like this, I fear the club will be forced to sink again before anything changes where it matters. I just hope I'm wrong.

At the moment the team and fans are like the crew and passengers of a ship but it's captain/owner (having already jumped off once) seems willing to see it scuttled.

The bulk of the views seem to repeat the same feelings, that being the case what can be done ? If you've got a splinter you dig it out with a sharp pin ! So what in this case is the metaphorical pin ? Lawyers, board of enquiry by the FA ? What do you set in motion to dig it out & stop the infection ? Sort that & you're half way to fixing the injury !

got no interest in getting involved while oneill and co remain

Well, it's easy for me to agitate from afar, so why not:

back in the mid 1990s, Brighton fans were becoming increasingly upset with their chairman (Bill Archer, I think). They took the fight (peacefully) to him. This included, whilst on an away trip in Lancashire, demonstrations outside his house and the chain of DIY stores he owned. The gruesome twosome appear to lack shame, but perhaps a the threat of a demo and media presence outside businesses with the accompanying embarressment might concentrate peoples minds?

But peacefully.

Maybe with flags, providing of course they are suitably fire retardent...

however, as others have, I note Ilyas' lower profile. I guess he has his reasons and that's fine and I respect that and all he has done for the club. But if the aim is to create room at the top, let's make sure that the person we want to fill it can do.

Ever heard the old saying 'Everything comes to him who waits' ?

Perfectly true yerself, trouble wi that though tis very hard to get folk to return when they got used to other things.

the present club could have some success in winning people back, the team could undoubtedly do that by winning a lot more games. However I would suspect that should Ilyas finally get the keys to the kingdom then that would spur a huge and immediate influx of glory hunters. The team and the Ultras would then have to keep them there

agree rob the present team is very fair IMHO, sustaining a long winning run though would be a tough un though, wi small good squad. Ilyas to my mind is the only key to a big improvement.

I'd rather be in the position of attempting to keep the glory hunters who had turned up, rather than the present situation of trying to entice an indifferent and sceptical public who are resolutely staying away. The only way forward is with Ilyas (provided he still wants to be involved!).

DaveinGermany · 22-01-2011, 14:04

As you say, Ilyas seems to be the designated saviour, but isn't it expecting a little too much from the man ? It's always coming down to what he can do for the club, maybe he's just as annoyed at the lack of compromise & movement & has decided that his position has been made & that he isn't going to throw more good money after bad.

Let's be honest, wouldn't you feel the same if you were in his position ? There is only so much he or anyone can do & as long as these efforts are rebuked & denigrated personal patience will run out & a declaration of enough is enough will be given. The situation then arises that the fella sits back & tells you to sort your own mess out ! A clear case of biting the hand .........

Some people won't & don't want to learn !

maccawozzagod · 22-01-2011, 15:14

I think the hope is that Ilyas has decided to sit back and let whatever unfolds be, at the right moment, hopefully, he'll step forward again.

bdc · 23-01-2011, 19:23

In regards to Ilyas it seems very unlike him to be so quiet recently and hasn't replied to PM's left for him. He is normally the approachable person that we have been seeking. I am glad that the forum was held for fans to ask what questions they wanted to. There did seem to be a few loaded questions asked of Rob Heys.

AccyAggro · 23-01-2011, 19:36

To be honest someone should of told the club theres no point tryin to attract new fans when the existing one get treat like ****e and no body knows who exactly they are giving there money to!

But yet they will smile and say 'come support accy' but then will **** on you behind your back!

Not sure what you mean by laoded questions ? Until one issue is resolved either way then the questions will always be the same no matter how many forums they arrange. Unfortunatley until somebody comes out and says something else, then the answers willl always be the same too
