Shareholder Oliver Ash is still
hoping to take over Maidstone – despite talks breaking down with
chairman Paul Bowden-Brown.
In his first full interview since
his company, Richmond Participations, invested £100,000 into the
Stones in February 2008, Mr Ash revealed that he would
be willing to take control under the right circumstances.
"I’m prepared to carry on but
unfortunately events and facts prevent it from happening in the
current form," said Mr Ash (pictured), who was aiming to take
control of the club alongside a business partner.
"The financial situation is a
continuing concern to me and the local partner I was hoping to do
things in Maidstone with. I felt that the situation was not
tenable.
"We’d have to pay off a huge amount
of debt on day one if we were to take over.
"We’d have to find £1million to build a ground and on top of
that, you’d have to pay off the debts."
