Local businessman Ilyas Khan fears for Accrington's future as they prepare to face D-Day at the High Court on Wednesday.
The cash-strapped League Two club were given another week to settle a £308,000 debt to HM Revenue and Customs last Wednesday, but Khan fears the money is not in place.
Khan, who stepped in as a guarantor last week along with former vice-chairman Peter Marsden, revealed that £206,000 had been sent to HMRC but he fears a further £102,000, which Stanley chairman David O'Neill revealed would be paid by the Professional Footballers Association, may not be forthcoming.
Khan said: "I realise the club will probably not provide an update to the fans and community at large. This is disgraceful in my view, and only one of many things that have been done - and continue to be done - that are beyond the pale.
"I know most fans will be focused on the big question of 'what next'. Peter and I promised the court to uphold the shortfall of £110,000. We have fulfilled that commitment. But the shortfall might be much greater.
"I can confirm chief executive Rob Heys has been helpful and clear. I have also seen correspondence with the PFA which leads me to believe that some amount might come in at some time, but I do not know when that some time might be. For now I have asked Rob Heys to let me know what David O'Neill proposes to do about the new shortfall."
