He can't bring an employment case against us if given the tin tack. I've been making a lot of jokes about the calling people "c*** suckers" but if this is true, then this is the kind of behaviour that Kevin McDonald and Tony McAndrew were sacked for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point though? It doesn't prove or disprove anything. Maybe the person who took it upon his/herself to type it up has English as their second language?

The point is that I didn't actually see any so I'm just interested to see if there are actually any errors or people are incorrectly interpreting things as errors. I'm a bit of a stickler for grammar! It would have no influence on my opinion as to the validity of the claims as I know that people who have been under a great deal of stress are often going to make mistakes when writing a relatively long and detailed document. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm trying to persuade other people to take action on my behalf, against an organisation that is a well loved football club, and volunteering myself as the voice of "the Villa staff", I'm not making fundamental errors in my plea. @bickster if this is one person doing it off their own back, they shouldn't be signing it off as the voice of all the staff. @Deano & Dalian's Umbrella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of fans know staff members, there have been mutterings for months and all from different directions Turn that first sentence around, this also isn’t the way you’d be expected to be treated by the club you love tbh i was sceptical when i first read it as this day and age you jusy don't know, but, with your knowledge of the club, staff, fans etc.... .....there's no smoke without fire regardless of any stance on the badge, NS etc this is clearly very disappointing and damaging.

Teale's 'tache Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Hmmmm... some very strong accusations there, and if it turns out to be true then things are about to get quite messy. It's a big if though, Twitter really is nothing more than a cesspit of bots, trolls and clout chasers nowadays. Tom Collomosse from the Mail is following the account now (he covers Midlands sport) so it will be interesting to see if he produces anything on it. I dislike the Mail but Tom is almost bearable which is the highest compliment anyone from that rag will get from me. The club has been very silent with regards to off-the-pitch things recently so I'd be surprised if there's any statement regarding it. If Heck does go then it's going be interesting to see what the next man does, in theory some easy wins to get the fans on board with regards to the crest and North Stand if they can convince the owners to go back down those routes. If this all turns out to be true what kind of a state are we going to be in entering our 150 year? Might go rupture my ACL to really feel part of it...

stewiek2 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 3 hours ago, djdabush said: I do wonder how much people are willing to believe just because they don't like Chris Heck. If it is true then there will be several employment tribunals surfacing soon. I'll reserve judgement until we have more evidence than an anonymous twitter post though. I bet if it's true it'll have a date set before Man City face their allegation claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
