More unrest and cock ups over in Moston......
It seems the Liar Walsh's incompetence has broken new ground this season. Whilst trying to get to grips with just how desperate a financial situation the club is really in, someone thought they'd better try and source some sponsorship and see whether current backers were commited to the club for next season.
After hearing what was going on Walsh bravely clambered out of his sickbedto provide the SP on mxdata, the main sponsor. He assured people their contract had been for £15,000 this season and that they'd commited to another £20,000 for next. Nice deal Andrew, well done.![]()
Only once someone who's actually half competent at FC contacted mxdata they discovered a very different story: yes, mxdata had promised £15,000, but that was over this season AND next season. The £20,000 was a theoretical figure that they would commit to if they extended the deal beyond May 2017 meaning - even on "sick" leave - Walsh has manage to blow a £12,500 hole in next season's budget and £7,500 hole in this.
It gets better...
Not only had mxdata not committed to the figures Walsh had claimed, they hadn't even signed a contract for the figures they had committed to. And not only that, they hadn't yet - as of this month - paid a single penny for the season just gone, 2015-16. And due to the on-going disruptions and scandal they weren't even sure they wanted to carry on with the sponsorship.
All in all it means that of the £35,000 Walsh claimed to have secured from mxdata the amount the club has actually received is precisely zilch, and is unlikely to extend much beyond £7,500. This brings Walsh's deficit on this one, solitary budget line to an incredible £27,500 from 2015-17.
Reminder: Walsh is still being paid around £37,500 p/a by FC United members, despite having skived off work since at least March 22nd.
Yet still the Board have not made any moves to place Walsh on gardening leave; to take control of access to his FC email account (to check details of such sponsorship deals are as claimed by mxdata, if nothing else); or to call him to account for his disgraceful pisstaking GMR appearance.
Meanwhile, FC United is running a £50,000 overdraft facility with no sign of being able to pay it back, meaning the club potentially could be under the bank's control by August, with Community Shareholders losing all their investments.
Wheres that from?
