I can only assume he (Eric) means that he (Eric) has no vendetta against Ilyas.... The link to the story - if you have not already read it - has been posted by U.K. Cowboy.

I'd already read it before the link was put on. I was puzzled by the word vendetta and thought it was an odd choice of words, and still am

Chairman Eric Whalley has revealed that he spoke to Khan on Monday but, asked whether Stanley are capable of surviving without accepting Khan’s money, he said: “We can survive without anyone’s money.

"It’s not a vendetta, it’s just a case of going forward.”


Just hope Eric is right, but who think's he is?????
Let's get this straight.

While in the Conference, Eric said openly on more than one occasion that he does not have the financial clout to make Stanley survive/prosper in the Football League. Eric didn't step aside upon promotion. We now have outstanding debt of around £300,000 to the Inland Revenue.

Eric still thinks that the club "can survive without anyone's money" and "go forward".

Eric... wtf? What do you want to be remembered for?

Re: Winding up proceedings

Love the last line on the updated fishy site quote "the club would like to thank all persons who have given messages of support" unquote (or words to that effect). What a load of sh!te. The club have turned their collective noses up to offers of help so how the hell are they going to prove to HMRC they can keep up with repayments this time, if they have already reneged on them once before.

C'MON Eric - swallow your pride, let the fans help out our beloved club - and it is OUR club, you are only the figurehead with the most shares. Get out with some dignity, not as the chairman that took us into oblivion for the second time in less than 50 years.

Re: Winding up proceedings

Looks like Eric is determined to stay in charge and keep control of the club until somebody buys his shares and he lines his pockets.

It's a strange and mysterious world in the land of football finance. Stanley owe 300K to the taxman but don't need any money, I support a team who have just won 60 million and they want me to lend them just short of £500 next week until August

Did not realise you had read it already Lancsdave As for "Vendetta" one can only assume that Eric is refering to the other refusal's of acceptance (Not too sure about my grammer?) but reading some paper articles and some of Ilyas's posts there has been more than this occasion that Eric has refused help. Maybe it will have to go down as yet another of the un-answered

Who thinks it ironic that the club will sit down to discuss this matter before Ilyas on Friday ???

Re: Winding up proceedings

Just heard the interview on Radio Lanc's, with Rob Heys. He would not answer the question as to why the Club have refused to sit down and talk with Ilyas, even though he was offering a large sum of money for a new share issue. Rob flustered and blustered all round the subject, and kept repeating everyone is working together.( I don't think so.)They the Club or namely E.W has no intention of accepting the offer of assistance from Ilyas. In my mind because E.W. will lose control if a new share issue is given, he will only have a small percentage of total shares,56,000 of possibly 350.000, or maybe more if the new share issue was taken up by other fans could possibly get to 550.000. then E.W. would onle have a 10% holding. That in my opinion is why he will not go for a new share issue, but he will never admit to that.

Re: Winding up proceedings

If Whalley goes then Rob Heys has to go too, IMHO another who is out of his depth with running a FL club.
