Quoted from Marinerz93


What you are are effectively saying is you don't care how Town treat's it's staff as long as they go quietly into the night whilst the club tries to save face and whitewash the incident.

MM spoke up against the introduction of Prem B teams into cup competitions, something most of us agree shouldn't happen. He did this because he thought it was being forced on the club and when he was told otherwise he withdrew his comments off facebook.  A director screen shot those comments before they were removed and took them to boardroom demanding MM was sacked. A director gave MM the hairdryer treatment and then that director told MM that if loved the club he should do it for free.

If you don't care about how badly MM was treated I really hope you don't employee people. Being inventive would have seen a MM side kick at a reduced cost, something the fans could buy into. Why don't you ask a steward how they are treated, what the club expects them to do and if they miss more than a couple of games what happens to them.



93,

Just to say I value all of our employees and that included Andy.

I absolutely refute being aggressive to Andy. He's brought this on himself by not resigning once, but twice.

He was in a heavily privileged position which no doubt helped him personally. Coupled he had a responsibility particularly in the high profile role and with the influence it and he carried.

His initial resignation on social media was frankly accepted internally and when he realised that he took down the two postings and only then. Nothing to do with when the club confirmed how it voted.

You could not work anywhere, slag your employer off, throw your hand in publically. Additionally in another posting generate support for boycotting games and not expect to be spoken too.

Notwithstanding that the Club had no intention of a change. However in my position I had every intention of reinforcing to Andrew that he has a privileged position and substantial influence and had to be carful in what he says publically in this regard.

He said I won't be gagged

I said the clubs not trying to gag you but points out you are an employee with responsability and huge influence.

There was another actually serious issue which found him in trouble. I reminded him that I stood up for him (it's Inprudent to say anymore as its between the club and Andrew.

When I'd made my points to him 'frankly' very quietly and consisly, I moved on to explain that I hadn't realised it was a paid role and that I didn't know why that one had gotten away from me.

I further explained that a lot of people work for the club volenterally and that my request of Andy was to ask him if he would do the role going forward without cost.

He immediately told me sharply how he was losing income by doing the role, missing out on substantial income doing parties and the likes.

He clearly wasn't enamoured by being asked this. So I said don't make a decision in the heat of the moment and take some time to consider this.

That was it. All said on the stairway next to the PA room. There is no evidence to suggest I was aggressive nor can there be any because I absolutely wasn't. Bear in mind there was plenty of people around.

The truth is, Andrew cannot be spoke too about his shortcomings and ultimately it was about personal gain to him.

His statement to Look North was self-centred and very wrong and only adds oxygen to an embrassing resignation.

I trust you will note this with all your one sided track.

John

Quoted from moosey_club


a sound financial idea only becomes reality when you actually sell an experience......until then it is an idea to raise additional income.....and its an idea that has p1ssed off quite a few people and made us look a bit naff in the media....



It was also an idea born from many genuine enquiries to the club about doing this. As far as the bit in the media ( on Look North I understand ) who informed them of the situation with MM ? It sounds like it could have been MM himself to make something appear bigger than what it is and him appear to be the injured party.
