If that is true, who's tax bill? as i remember twas ilyas n the fans etc that saved the club.

Accrington Stanley Football Club ( Tuesday 16th Jun 2009 )

Change at the top
Accrington Stanley chairman Eric Whalley has today stepped down from his position, passing on the reigns to David O'Neill.

David first got involved with the club through his video production company, producing the match day footage from our games in the Nationwide Conference. He joined the club full time eighteen months ago, initially as commercial manager, before taking on the role of general manager last summer, all of which have been unpaid positions. The 52 year old businessman has put £150,000 into the club in the last twelve months and will now take control of the day to day running of the club with immediate effect.

Eric has been at the helm of the club since 1995, also in an unpaid role, leading the club through three promotions and back into the Football League in 2005 where we have competed for the last three seasons. Throughout his life, the 68 year old local businessman has never been far from Stanley, playing in the old reserves before going on to manage the reformed side in non-league football and then eventually buying the controlling share from his predecessor John Alty.

A deal that will see David O'Neill take the majority of the previous chairman's shareholding will be completed this week.

As I recall, that £150,000 was for paying off the VAT man, if so, then the shareholding deal would be seperate.........................

"A deal that will see David O'Neill take the majority of the previous chairman's shareholding will be completed this week."
The last sentence would seem to imply that.

Spot on UK, the £150K, was put in to settle old V.A.T. Bills, it was never claimed to be part of a "Buy out deal!!!", but who knows

Well at least while it's all fresh in the mind you have a home game today, just in case you want to get your points across

This article only tells us that DON had put the money into the club, not EW.......

I seem to recall that it was Rob Heys who was saying that the only reason work wasn't happening to the Coppice Terrace was due to the bad weather and nothing else. Then we find out that planning permission wasn't applied for until the 19th January this year and then to further antagonise the situation he allows work to start on it without getting the relevant permission and comes out with a half baked statement about having a good relationship with the Council. Is this the sign of a good leader? Rob Heys is in charge so this falls under his duress and I am sure it is difficult working there at the minute but that doesn't excuse this kind of behaviour.

As far as I'm concerned if I was Rob Heys I'd resign from the job and get another job in another sector before its too late. Desert the sinking ship like the rat he really is!

This is my opinion, I don't know Rob on a personal level but the 2 times I've had to deal face to face with him once because he never posted an item out to me for 7 weeks and once because of a missing ticket hes always been no use at all and very unintrested. If he's the true Stanley fan people say he is then he'll be better use on the terraces on a saturday afternoon than running the club.

Rob Heys was a fan long before many at ASFC. He has always been a fan first and foremost and an employee second. Seems to me that he has diplomatically towed the line thus far, probably in order to remain in a job, and keep a roof for his wife and child. Now it seems even Rob himself has been pushed too far and has seen fit to speak out.

If Rob sees fit to potentially jepordise his job, then its just a further indictment of how much the s**t has hit the proverbial fan.

Well done Rob....now lets join this protest march and get the ball rolling!!!!

Rob was a fan before some people on this board, there is no disputing the fact that he has had a difficult task in running the club. However, when all said and done Rob is in charge of the club and he is paid a wage to do this. Stating the obvious I know but yesterdays shambles comes back to his door and nobody elses.
