So if the Development Centre is nothing to do with CFC, why does the Club's official website promote both it and the new 'international' operation?

Why does it and the players under Turner and Sutcliffe, it's two directors, sport the Club badge?

Has Chesterfield Football Club in any way subsidised it?

And if so, doesn't that represent a massive conflict of interest for Turner and Sutcliffe?

Most of all, how long will the Chairman tolerate his family football club being associated with a business subject to CCJ's and media reports like this?

This, if true is shameful and reflects very badly on CFC. Surely it deserves an inquiry and an explanation at the very least! :angry:

Perhaps AC might have an explanation. It all sounds dodgy to me and I agree does reflect badly on the club and all associated!

If not true, I'd have expected a comprehensive denial and legal action instead of excuses and more apparently empty promises.

Unfortunately there're reports that Mrs Banthorpe is just one of many people left in a similar situation by Sutcliffe and Turner's enterprise.

Like I've said before I'd prefer CT to get as far away from this club as soon as possible !

What I'm seeing here is an enterprise run by two employees of CFC, using the name and badge of CFC, doing everything possible to associate itself with CFC, perhaps being subsidised by CFC, yet instead of providing benefits for CFC is embarrassing the Club.

Do we really want to be associated with it, Chris?

i don't think we have a choice, we are associated with it.

Not great is it.

If any money from the club was going into helping fund it would it show in the accounts?

I think CFC plans to charge this enterprise for the privilege of using the CFC name in it's marketing, just as it plans to charge the Trust. Has LS got a legitimate salaried role in the official CFC youth setup?.

Are we really expected to believe its not for profit, although that seems to be the reality seeing who is associated with it

I know from our discussions over a number of months that this news will have come as no surprise to you.

Yet another highly embarrassing incident for Turner & by association, Chesterfield Football Club.

A total & utter shower. This lot don't deserve our support. They just don't get it, do they?

I saw Carson early yesterday filling his car up in Sheffield with just CFC t-shirt and shorts on.
