FFS get over yourself!
You are so defensive yet assertive on this subject while remaining spectacularly ignorant.
Your accounts for the period in question are already in the public domain. Steve O'Connor DID set up a charitable trust for £1.8M and you took the lot as income. Theres no shame in receiving such a windfall or even criticism levelled from other parties, you are acting like a spoilt child who has decided to take offense for reasons known only to yourself and is now demanding to be apologised to when its absosolutley F*&^ ALL to do with you!
If SO'C had an issue with anything said by the Batley Chairman, I am sure he would have addressed the matter, the fact that he hasn't publically refuted the claims of a large investment should give you an indication of how things are or at least demonstrated a level of dignity in the face of implied criticism that you are clear incapable of demonstrating.
Finally, if you are attempting to tell us that funds were not provided by the SO'C charitable trust and that Widnes made a £1M pound profit in the year 2008-2009 (in the Championship!) while posting a £700k loss the year before, your clubs Finance and Marketing staff should be snapped up by the government to address the national debt!.

I don't have a set of accounts to hand, but I have read them (back in september when filed) and i don't recall any mention of what you have discribed being mentioned in them. would you be so kind as to provide a link (other than companies house) to back up your claims as in my sad accountant way i'd be interested to read it.
However what has been pretty much revealed this week is that the Club appears to have taken over the opperation of the Stadium that it holds a lease for and all the turnover and expenditure that goes with it. Its not been said outright but it has certainly been implied.
