Correct, although he returned in 2021 & was re-elected to their board alongside Seddon. Wonder how many other non league teams had two convicted football hooligans on their board at the same time?
Luc’s dad, Remi has also been heavily involved in FC including chairing a lengthy & critical investigation into the clubs charitable food hub. Hi lights were, the money that went missing via people handing out unadvertised management jobs to their mates, dodgy expense claims & the fraudulent furlough claims that saw them paying back £24,000 to HMRC.
Zentar senior is also familiar with the inside of a court room although unusually for FC officials not from the inside of the dock. He’s a highly respected QC, I expect he’s proud of his convicted football thug offspring.

The whole episode gets worse! It’s like a soap opera - and yet the council still bankrolled them.
I remember one big accusation was there wasn’t a safe in the stadium and after games one of the board members would simply take the money home in a bag and (allegedly) take it to the bank on Monday mornings……
The club is a law unto itself - it needs a Sheriff in town!

It needs an independent public enquiry behind locked doors.
This is a disgracefull waste of tax payers money.
MCC need publicly petitioning....shocking !!
It really is a piss take ?
MCC have cut so many jobs and community projects and come out with there is no money to fund them anymore
Bonfire Night, New Year's Eve, Youth clubs, Public Parks, Road Sweepers, Grass cutters, Public Bins, everything we used to take for granted has gone from our communities.
This lot (FCUM) needs to be made accountable for its own founding, They Spout Off it's a fan-run club and controls its own finances with a selected board, So let the fan-elected board members invest their own money into the club
That is how it should work and does for all the other non-league clubs, Small local sponsorships and fans owe money and a chairman that wants to give something back to their community
