If you buy something off somebody and they don't hand over the goods how can that be an issue with a third party

I havent got a clue Dave tbh, but I cant bring myself to believe a word that man says..............however He is right when He says the 'fans are getting on my back'................somehow I dont think this statement will help in that area!!

Stanley may be 'famous' but not as a Premiership corporation. Like it or not, we're famous for going bust. We are talking about a club that is trying to survive in a business gone mad with greed on average home gates of 1,750. A club that is so financially precarious that a few cancelled home games could tip it over the edge.
Just how does he expect to get his money back from that?
It's like fans expecting to get back the price of admission if things don;t go well at the end of the season. They 'invest' in the club too.
Whalley's return on his investment has been to see the club rise from the ashes and back into the league. For which we are all grateful. Did he really buy into Stanley expecting to get a return as if he was investing in the Footsie 100?
But by now appearing to have such unrealistic expectations (Man Buys Accie Stanley as Sound Financial Investment Shock!) he is fast losing the respect he might otherwise have deserved for helping to get the club back to where we all believe it belongs.
One of the dangers of the current boardroom stalemate, which I've long feared, is that it may only be resolved by the club going into administration, in order that a fresh start could be made. I really hope it won't come to that but, in business as in life, there's none so blind as those who will not see.

Excellent post.
Whalley doesn't seem to care that he is pushing the club towards oblivion. If he had a shred of decency in him, he would just walk away with a nominal fee for his shares.

I recall he did walk away. All the way to Chester (RIP)

if anyone buys summat,off someone n that someone refuses to hand oer, then the only way to get the goods is buy legal action? if that was me i would be very brassed off, YET the DoN says he agrees whalley is owed money,by the club, that fact can have sod all to do wi the fact "If True" he bought the shares 18 months ago surely?

summat stinks here to me, am pleased Rob Heys has finally got off the pot n spoke on this subject appreciate hes had a difficult period as piggy in the middle, now he has i just hope he aint the fall guy fer these 2 cretins. Simple Fact, If DoN HAS Paid up,Whalley should have transferred the shares, whatever his disagreements in other areas! if he had done the proper thing he would probably be held in much higher esteem i'm sure.

Pendle Red · 11-02-2011, 13:16

Somebody get a grip of reality here please

I don't care if it humple pie or pride that is swallowed nobody is bigger or has a right to be bigger than the Club!!

There are always solutions to every problem but as Excile has put in his post there are ultimate ways to bring about shock conclusions.

I can not and I will not endure what happened 18 months ago.... life is too short

Do we become bit part or main players that's down to yourselves.

FANtastic write up by Rob, open and honest, it is time that this whole thing between THEDON and EW was sorted out and I do have faith in Ilyas to sort it out...

i also have faith in ilyas, my point is though as far as i can see its a dispute between the 2 E.W. n DoN, if DoN has paid Whalley should have Transferred Simple as.

The cardboard Millionaire seems to be hovering over our club like the angel of death. Pay him off in buttons, lets move on. Yes I know this is too simplistic but he is yesterdays man.
I wonder what the figures are that he is owed?

Shurm · 11-02-2011, 19:36

Thing is if Ilyas and the people of Accrington hadn't raised that money he would be getting nothing !!! Yet the club survived no thanks to him and he now wants some money. They both need to go and I won't be changing that view, it all stinks.

ukcowboy · 11-02-2011, 21:12

Forgive me for going off topic, afterall this thread was about getting behind Rob Heys, however, the more I read O'Niel's diatribe, the more incensed I become.

I can't for the life of me see how an agreement between O'Niel and Whalley can possibly have anything to do with Ilyas! To my mind it is yet another pack of untruths from the main two protagonists.....

These two numpties are holding our club to ransom, they pleaded with the people of Accrington to help save the club without making any sizeable contribution themselves, they then proceeded to lie time after time but expected us to follow blindly. Finally they went to London with no ideas and without the last minute intervention of both messers Khan and Marsden, they would have seen the club fold.

It really is time for them both to bog off and leave the club in the hands of those that do have its best interests at heart.

Rant over :-)

If i remember rightly(and someone correct me if i'm wrong)David Onell paid Eric Whally £150,000 for the 51%of the club back in 2009. Round about the same time as this was going on Eric then made a Directors loan to the club to pay a tax bill,don't no the amount but i guess this is what the hold up is.

In that case then D'ON became the shareholder, the problem is between him and Eric regarding that issue.
