Chairman of Accrington Stanley, best club in 92. Great asset for Hyndburn, generating much needed footfall and social goodness. Football vital for community.

I wish I could agree but I can’t.

Rank bad management by me caused our fall from L1.

I allowed poor recruitment, bad practices and a lack of discipline to go on far too long.

I listened to emotion of supporters and it was a mistake.

You live and you learn.

Football… …ownership is a difficult job to try to get right.

We will be looking for a commercial manager/director challlenged with increasing other income like sponsorship, advertising..

So…

We talked last week about the permanent and non-permanent @premierleague clubs.

The next thing to understands is the financial disaster, that the prem tries to paper over with parachute payments.

The 14 non permanent prem club share

£1.8 BILLION each year… The 14 clubs in @EFL that have spent the corresponding 13 years each in the prem share…

£90 million.

£1,800,000,000
£90,000,000

THIS IS UNREAL.

On top of this absolutely crazy state of affairs, if you buy a @SkyBetChamp club in the hope of replacing one of the LUCKY clubs
