Yes, I fully understand that. That was one reason why I thought it best to pose one or two specific questions.

Crikey! To be honest, I didn't know that. So under EW's careful stewardship, we have built up a debt of £450,000 to the Inland Revenue alone in the last two years.

But, hopefully, between us, we can develop the story, understandably no-one wants to put misleading stuff on here, but it can be hard to get it exactly right.

The David O'Neill takeover? It's now common knowledge that he put £150,000 into the club to stave off the taxman last year. However don't fully understand the present position, anyone else?

Re the £150K, it's my understanding (from folk at Friday's meeting) the £150K was if you like a deposit on the money to be stumped up for EW's share's. The rest was to be in the region of another £300K ish. I asked the question of The DON's £150K, in the meeting, nobody had the answer at that point.. Later in the pub I asked the question again, along the lines of if The DON has £150K in and no way of finding the rest, why does he not get £150K worth of share's?? Cos EW won't do that was the reply... So what about the £150K I asked?? As far as EW will be concerned, it will be looked upon as a "Gift" I was told... Best I can do folks, it is not gospel, but it is from one who knows and can be trusted to tell the truth and tell it how it is...

Many thanks once again to Valairian and Oggy.

it's more of a buy-in!

nobody, us included, seems willing to pay EW for something that is literally worthless. He HAS to let us in though as we have money to invest. Provided that enough money, ideas, and effort is forthcoming from the fans then we have a chance to make the club profitable again. Once it's profitable it's saleable.

Evening All. Just finished the fantastic England win at the Oval. Just what we needed to do !

I will post in a bit more detail later, but just wanted to thank people for the way in which the message from Friday's meeting is being amplified and distributed. I really felt (and feel) good about things. Lets now put the requisite energy and focus into getting to the next stage.

A couple of things. I will contact everyone who has put their hand up for involvement over the next 24 hrs, and whilst I know it will be impossible to get a time that works for all, I hope as many of you as possible who are nominating themselves will be able to get over to the solicitor's office.

Finally, just on David Lloyd. He has very generously offered to help out, but we must just bear in mind that we need to get back to David with a concrete offer, and help him to see that we are acting only in the interests of the club. I have not spoken to David yet (he is on 20:20 commentary duty at SKY), but will do so asap tomorrow.

Again, thank you all, those who came to Stanhill Hall, and those who could not make it but sent messages. Its amazing how wonderful things can be when we are all positive.

Soddin´´ ell! All this happening and here I am 6000 miles away up in the Andes staring at llamas. Can´t wait to get back, put a bit of dosh in and hopefully get involved in some small way.

¡Good on you Ilyas and fellow fans!
