It will be heads and balls being lost if the club folds after rejecting Ilyas.

To say I am very worried now is an understatement. I do not want Rochdale this Saturday to be the last game that Stanley play in the FL. I want a club to support next Friday at Grimsby and the following weeks either home or away in the FA cup and the following Tuesday against our old friends at Bury. If we are save, then I can see us making the area semi in the JPT - FA cup, will just have to wait and see what that brings, but hope for a decent (easy) draw at home and bank the £18k prize money and await the 2nd round. Please Accrington Stanley directors, open up and tell the fans what is happening and when this ball and chain (£308k) will be off our backs.

One of the things that literally makes me feel sick is that when\if we come out off this,
the chair-persons, Chief exec and other directors will be looked upon as hero's, the people that saved Accrington Stanley, **Bol**ox**(sorry for that).
All the people that have put over 100,000 of their own money in the Sos fund are\will be the hero's not that group of Lying, self serving Pigs, who have not even got the decency to tell the Real Hero's what is going on. Sorry for the Rant folks.

AIDES MEMOIRES ! (And I've got SM's permission to use this Gallic phrase!)...
appear to be of little use by now OO...and Lord knows I've tried my best !!.
But with THAT day imminent....and this game of ;brinkmanship' still being played out before our disbelieving eyes I can do little except resort to another little graphic to express my feelings ......

Is there a Lifeboat anywhere to be seen ??...Will the Loan Ranger ride over the Hill to save the Day ??....Am I the only one who sees The Horizon as being particularly empty this morning...?

My vision includes a few peasants huddled in a corner saying one to the other,,'Is it really true that they can't raise the £100K?'...I can't think what they are alluding to , but it is obviously something near to their Hearts!.

My Red-Coloured Crystal Ball is clouding over thank God!....the images emanating from it are getting too alarming to behold !!.

ps.....Is this going to be a Red-letter Day at last ???'

'ON STANLEY !!!ON!!...TO GREATER THINGS !!!'

I read that Mr O'Niel and ROB HEYS were going todonate 100,000 between them for the cause...Why on earth is ROB HEYS having to dip into his finances to such a degree?? It should be the directors finding the dosh, not the CEO. SHAME ON YOU STANLEY BOARD.

Wynonie Harris · 23-10-2009, 08:55

Interesting interview with Luke Joyce (I presume the LET have to do interviews with the players to find something to print, as the board all appear to have been struck dumb)...

Joyce: Stanley crisis has been a worry (From Lancashire Telegraph)

We're all on tenterhooks, but, of course, it must be worrying for the players.

"People deserve to be reassured".

Rob is a great guy, but does he have £100k or a big chunk of the figure dont think so. Even if he had is it his job to provide money for the club, no. I think Doug's earlier post is nearer the truth "we have £xxxxK Mr Taxman and a firm promise of the balance to follow. Lets hope this gets resolved and the club can then start to put into action all of the muted money raising schemes, to prevent a repeat of the past few weeks

This makes such SAD reading Wyn !!..We tend to forget, with our own little doubts and concerns at the forefront of our minds, that men's livelihoods are dependent if not at stake!, on the machinations (or Not!!.) of The Directors of Accrington Stanley FC.

My concern for the physical and emotional well-being of JC and all the Squad cannot be measured...neither can the high regard I have for the manner in which they have responded to this tragic situation in which they have had no hand whatsoever !!

"People need to be reassured !"...I hope that when reading this News Report that those behaving so disgracefully towards those who really matter will be moved to make an INSTANT and POSITIVE reply !!

'ON STANLEY !!...ON!!...TO EVEN GREATER THINGS !!'

Does anyone remember what happened in the days leading up to our last winding up hearing on Sept 2nd.

No..?

Why?

Because Mr O'Neil didn't tell anyone it was happening. Not even his own directors!

He went down to London and pleaded for mercy.

He's done it once already......I believe he is about to do it again.

This time the whole of Accrington and beyond is watching.

Very brave or very foolish!
