Regarding the recent departure of Liam Sutcliffe and surrounding issues.
Us, the ex employees of the DC, saw that car crash of a man take parents money, (my personal money included), for tours that it's been proved were never even booked.
Money 'redistributed' in and around the DC.
Then could not pay it back, until he absolutely had to, due to one parent going to the national press.
We saw him taking young scholars parents money, then not pay them back too. Some of them are owed money from as far back as 2014.
Not a couple of hundred quid either, I'm talking a thousand pounds each, more in some cases.
We saw employees relationships, livelihoods and reputations get slandered and put at stake.
The lies that followed us all opening up about what happened were truly astounding.
I personally was sold out by someone who did not use the data protection act as any kind of law, and my details from this forum were passed onto CFC management without my consent or a court order. I won't be pursuing legal action on that bit, although I could as I have a case. I've checked.
But an apology would be nice considering I did nothing wrong.
My ex colleagues, that left their jobs in early 2016 went 3-4 months without being paid. Who else can say they'd tolerate that from an employer?
We all had a job that we loved doing. But we had to leave. We couldn't stand it anymore. You have no idea what it was like to work for him. How difficult it was.
Those coaches, decent hard working and loyal guys did everything they could before it went too far. Yes, they left and set up their own academy. But who wouldn't? Knowing you could do it better, not rip people off, make it about what it truly means to young guys who just want to play football?
The parents of the DC wanted the coaches to do it. They asked for it. They saw along with everyone else what a shambles the DC was and demand required a new approach.
That's exactly what they got.
We saw scholars treated like cattle carrying money, not young lads trying to carve a career doing what they loved.
It was truly dreadful. Non paying trialists and visitors got royal treatment over paying scholars. So wrong.
The coaches, were slagged off publicly by Chris Turner, called disloyal and all kinds of slander.
He had been grossly misinformed.
But, he was warned of this coming in December 2015, and I know that because I was the one who warned him. I still have the original email and his reply to follow up.
All Liam did was make up a lot of lies about me to tarnish my opinion and reputation, and did the same to the others too. Including the one who took my job after i left, despite the fact she left due to not being paid well or on time, he made up a lie regarding her being sacked for requesting to see scholars genitals.
And I have proof of that too!
I know there are still lots of issues to be dissected and discussed.
I know that lots of lies have been told. By management of all levels.
But on behalf of myself and my ex colleagues, thank you Mr Carson for making sure that excuse of a man is no longer part of Chesterfield FC. Your club is immediately better off without him.
I, along with the other ex employees are hoping this can be finally put to bed.
Now do me, my ex colleagues, and the loyal fans of Chesterfield FC a massive favour please?
Don't fall for any more questionable people.
The fans deserve better. The players deserve better. This club is bigger than all of you in charge. And the reason for that is directly because of its fans.
They matter.
The management in charge need to stop pretending they don't.
Hang on.
Fully support what you say, about the shambles across the road. But there is a paragraph in there I'm not happy about. You said someone passed details from here on to the club.
not passing details on is something we have been very strong on.
Whenever we have been asked, normally regarding a post someone considered slanderous. we had a response regarding the law to the forums. Which says. if someone objected to something that was posted either 1) we would remove it, 2) ask the original poster to agree to remove it or if you don't agree to that then the 3) guidelines states we can pass your details on so the complainant can contact you directly. Nothing ever got to that 3rd state on this board.
The only people that could have seen your email address are me DalekPete (previously) or Webster. I have very firmly followed the data protection act. Rich and Pete would be of a similar mind and Pete helped us draw up the response to any legal threats.
If you don't use your name or an email address with your name it's almost impossible for us to know who are from that alone. I don't know who you are are, I could check your email address, but that means logging in via a PC and that's a pain in the arse to do. I certainly would pass that info on.
Saying that, because people reveal a lot on here. It's not normally hard to work out who is who. For instance, you have said on many occasions that you were part of the staff. So that narrows its down to a handful of people. If other staff know who you are then someone could let something slip.
So who are you saying broke the law?
