After the scandal of the Board ignoring £1500 of legal advice (yes, FIFTEEN HUNDRED in total) that suggested all the club should or could do in regard to "abuse" was "open a dialogue" with the owners of this forum, in favour of the club paying another NINE HUNDRED POUNDS to investigate the matter, it turns out that the Board has also ignored thousands of pounds of other advice on Andy Walsh's say-so.
In March 2014 the Board advertised for applications for the following work:

Quote:
iii. Operations Review: To review current Club structures and proposals, to be undertaken by a consultant;

Project outline
To work with the club's General Manager [chief executive] and Board to:
- review current structure
The nature of this tender is clearly both extensive and expensive. It follows that the cost of undertaking such a review would mean that its conclusions are followed, else what is the point?
As we can see from another (ignored) post on the Members' forum, some club members have previously raised the matter of what happened to this review:
http://fc-utd.co.uk/members/forum/viewt ... ons#p29389
As is mentioned in this post, the Board acknowledged delivery of the final report and its recommendations in September 2014. From that month's minutes:
Quote:
The Board approved the report, subject to AKW[alsh] being asked to monitor and report back to the Board on the effects on any staff – which includes full time employees, part time employees, self-employed contractors and volunteers – of the changes which will be brought about by the implementation and recommendations in the report.
Only a month later AKW[alsh] went back to the Board with an "urgent" recommendation that Board employ a fundraiser - who it turned out would be Andy Walker after undergoing a sham and fraudulent appointment process. NOWHERE IN THIS REPORT DID IT RECOMMEND THAT THE CLUB EMPLOY ANY FUNDRAISER.
Within less than 6 weeks the expensively and extensively researched report by outside contractors that had been commissioned by the club was ripped up and ignored.
THIS REPORT COST MEMBERS OVER FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS.
Yet more professionally-solicited advice the Board has chosen to ignore in favour of doing what Andy Walsh wants.
On 6th November 2014 the Board informed members via the "board" log-in on the forum:
Quote:
On completion of the review we aim to publish as much information as is possible, whilst obviously respecting confidential details relating to employees.
A further update will be provided soon, as we are close to finalising this work.
No information relating to this has ever been released to members; no further update has ever been made.
THE REPORT HAS BEEN BURIED BECAUSE IT WOULD SHOW ANDY WALSH TO BE THE DICTATOR HE IS, AND HOW MUCH HE WASTES CLUB MONEY IN FAVOUR OF "JOBS FOR THE BOYS"

I'm no legal expert but what you describe must be close to corruption, and possibly fraud? There's a fine line between "cronyism" and "networking", though usually the distinction can be found by studying the organisations HR and business regulations. I'm guessing FC Utd of Manchester Ltd's recruitment regulations don't extend into this area?

It is claimed that the Board has been informed that a complaint of this nature may yet be made to GMP.
The sight of Walsh being carted off in handcuffs would truly be one to behold.
(Whilst he's being booked in at the station perhaps he could get round to logging all these "threats" he's previously overlooked telling plod about.)

If this is true and I have no reason to believe it not to be as no one from the board ever comments I'm totally go smacked and the more I learn the more it hurts me , the more pain at having to advocate FC as the Becon of fan ownership it's made out to be , also the less I want to wax lyrical a bout the club I love on national radio every week ....
Please make it stop and for the good of the club and democracy please people do the the right thing .

Over £4000 of members' money spent on this charade of a report and only 3 people give a toss about it enough to even comment.
Whither the 100 or so "stepper-uppers"? Shithouses like their Board representatives.

Your revelations, while shocking, are now so numerous they've lost all their shock value!

Ditto, it has come to the point where many mistakes are totting up. All my curse words about the entire situation would not add anything that is worthy of value (only action would do so).

This has gotten to a fraudulent fiduciary level. If I was that slimy piece of work, I'd be expecting a 5am knock on the door any day soon.

JP claiming on RI that he has a copy of the report (which will be released by him in due course) and that its true cost was close to £10,000 (TEN THOUSAND)
