Easy to get confused when they are such compulsive liars. to summarise, it’s 2 separate articles Here’s the PR puff piece from their ex chairman and current official where he details his reasons for leaving old Trafford in 2005.

FC United of Manchester’s Adrian Seddon: From the terraces to the board room

After the Glazer family took over Manchester United in 2005, many angry fans protested about the news. One group of rebel supporters held a meeting in a Stretford pub as they prepared to turn their…

Here’s the actual truth from the MENs court reporting in 2005 detailing that he received a banning order from all premier league, football league grounds and had to surrender his passport when England or the rags played away.

Seems M40 isn’t the only one that’s misleading with the actual truth. Also the latest bill for damaging an away ground isn’t the only one they’ve had whilst “making friends”

Was he also the author of a book 'How to Make Friends and Influence People'

To be clear he’s no longer the current chairman, he was on the board for 6 years. He’s currently on the football committee & is the clubs representative for organising the fenix, has just stepped back from his role as football match day secretary. He’s basically also the boards online enforcer, making sure the rest of them don’t start speaking up against the party line. Many past board members complained that during their time on the board they were bullied by him. He admits at the end of his tenure as chair the board wasn’t functioning as they wouldn’t speak to each other.

It’s funny that he gave interviews about why he & others left the swamp in 2005 & always forgets to mention that the key reason he stopped going was court enforced.

I also know of someone who was a rag but then a turncoat.
Why he chose to turn up at the demonstration before the rag v dipper match I'll never know. I thought turncoat fans had left the rags behind.
Anyway, I assume he now regrets throwing the bottle at police during the demo especially as the subsequent conviction cost him his dream job.
It's a pity the 3 year ban from football didnt include his new club.
Making friends, don't make me laugh.

Thanks for clearing that up.
He went from chair chucker to chair!

I liked this gem from his interview

"Even though they are in debt, there is still no sponsorship on the club’s kit as the fans are against overt commercialism. However, in the future they may have to allow more sponsorship in the future to raise funds.

Seddon added: “If we ever go up to the league above we’d need more money and the way we run things at the moment will become restrictive. Therefore we’d have to become more commercial and that goes against some of our fans wishes as they want us to stand on our own two feet."

So the club refuse to have advertising on the shirts which would bring in extra revenue and yet some.of the fans want this to remain as they want the club to be able to "stand on their own two feet".
So where do these fans stand on their principles of borrowing a million quid from the council? And how does that fit in with standing on their own two feet?
You couldn't make this shit up. The council.should force them to have the council logo on the shirt for free and knock £10,000 a year off the debt!

Drew the second half today. But lost the first half. Oh dear.

Did the seats survive ?

No doubt they will dress that up as a positive result.
Unfortunately, that's still their strong point.
Despite rapidly going backwards, they still seem to dupe the media into thinking they are still a viable alternative to all other Non-league clubs.
When will the media highlight the fact that these frauds are still scamming MCC residents ?

FC United = Flinging Chairs United……

So a genuine question for @M40_Sheriff next time you are riding on your trusty steed into BlueMoon….

1. Did you know when the election took place that Adrian Seddon was a convicted football hooligan?

2. If you did, did you vote for him?

3. If you were aware, but didn’t vote for him, did you raise concerns that maybe he wasn’t an appropriate choice to be the top brass of the club?

The one bright moment yesterday.

There were 20K people living in Newton Heath and Miles Platting, as of the 2021 census.
Considering M40 constitutes of Newton Heath, Moston, Miles Platting, Collyhurst, New Moston and Monsall, there are probably 60k people who live in M40.
Regardless of the fact you are wrong in your assessment, I can guarantee you that the people of Newton Heath did not want FC United in their town.

He’s already demonstrated he’s not very good with numbers. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s in charge of the budget…. CBO…. Chief Bucket Officer
