FC United thread

Finished 4 nil the only team below them in the league have had their next two games postponed as they’re a basket case of ownership. The FC women’s team also sit bottom of the league, a league they were relegated into this year.

In addition to those two struggling sides they also started a women’s development side this year by appointing a coach who couldn’t find any players. That team got fined for not fulfilling their first 2 fixtures before another local team stepped up and offered them a manager & 15 players to play under the “fc umbrella”

On the plus side though despite regularly championing the cause of being “against modern football” whilst complaining that this years 3 new shirts aren’t selling well enough in the financial reports they have announced the new official grip sock & shin pad partner. Despite only being available in Australia all Australian fc fans qualify for a discount

But apart from that everything else is rosy?
 
If I was the council executive co-opted to the board I’d be asking why they can’t keep the staff. The board members blame it on their own members being too critical but for years now anyone in a senior position hasn’t lasted longer than around 18 months. The last few years they’ve seen a CEO go, an Academy Principal fail, a business manager get head hunted & go to work at Old Trafford.

Between the summer & the beginning of October this year they had sacked the men’s first team manager. The women’s first team manager resigned to allow her to focus on her other role at the club as community manager (yet within two weeks resigned from that as well!) lastly the commercial manager (a long time FC fan) resigned as he felt the job stopped him enjoying going to the game. They just can’t keep any of the staff that their stupidly ambitious business plan relies on.

The latest board reports show that they cant really afford to recruit a community manager, despite being such a community club & focusing so hard on the community aspect to justify the cheap council loans so are looking at the possibility of having a Manchester active member of staff do the role on FCs behalf for free. Manchester Active is of course an arm of the council, there’s a chance more of your hard earned council tax will go towards propping them up

The club wants to be seen as a professionally run outfit throughout the club whilst hoping that volunteers will be able to deliver the outcomes.
The council funded projects they undertake include costs for salaried staff so they should be able to afford a community manager - the whole sham is just a part of the punk football swindle.
Is that true that a business manager upped sticks and went to the swamp? lol

As for the commercial manager resigning because the job prevented him from enjoying the game..... I think his enjoyment of the game has been ruined by the club getting smashed every weekend.
 
Are the cash inputs grants, loans or gifts ?

Are any directors or officers guarantors or liable ?

Is anything repayable or recoverable ?

I think @Mostonisblue posted a message from one of the board members the other week where he said he couldn't sleep at night a he was waiting for the knock on the door and his home would be taken away....

I'm in two minds if they should go bust as if they do Manchester council tax payers are £900K worse off and Moston is left with a white elephant

A white elephant made out of wood pallets, Daft cunts didn't know it should have been a Trojan Horse

So ....who's on the hook, for how much, and can any of it be repaid ?

£900k....ffs...for a folly of a charade without any feasibility or viability or worst case planning.

Heads should roll.. £900k..imagine stealing that ?

An inquiry into which club officials have profiteered and for how much, should also be undertaken.

The council are cutting services but funding this honey pot for the benefit of of the shitty splitters....call the police !!

He’s happy to take money from this council tax funded folly though isn’t he?
I would never wish anyone homeless but, if you choose to belong to a clear and very well put together money heist in full public view then my reaction is - meh.
Wonder how much his home is worth and if he even lives in North Manchester.
Could be a start to paying off the debt he’s happily maintaining on behalf of the assorted thieves that are associated with this corrupt excuse for a football club.
Every single person who has taken a wage from this filth are just as responsible as him in any event IMHO.
Thieving bastards.
