How serious are the FA likely to take this?

According to a couple of papers I have read on the integrity of football, gambling is right up there with money laundering as being one of the biggest threats to the game.

Breathtaking. Throw the book at the twåt!

if the rumours are to be believed, other members off staff have left on the back of similar incidents

I hope the £20 deposit in the betting account wasn't from a CFC-issued Credit Card again?!

Are you suggesting this type of thing has happened before?

Nice easy target for them to make an example of?

He was spoken to a week before the Barnet game FYI

Surprised we didn't need Barnets permission to speak to Allen who I think said he had a 2 month contract there til end of the season

Only if you believe the rumours, of course.

Edit: That rumour being that a then employee, deposited money in his personal betting account using a CFC CREDIT CARD and backed us to lose in the play off semi second leg at Preston. The FA found out and the club got a severe knuckle wrap, allegedley.

Other rumours of other ex-employees making 4 figure sums on previous managerial appointment are purely hear-say.

There is no rule that says that Ashley Carson can’t mention to his son who DA would like as manager

Erm, his son is or certain has been until recently EMPLOYED BY THE CLUB

So that could be the FA recommendation to sack his son.

What really annoys me about this bloke is his lack of humility. He should just say: everyone, I've really fücked this up, sorry. I naively got involved to make money and promised to get you into the Championship; I forgot that I needed to invest more as we progressed. I wanted my money back and have almost killed the club in the process, taking it to its lowest ebb ever recorded. It's entirely my fault in every capacity; I will endeavour to rectify this as best as I can. I asked you to turn up in your unprecedented thousands, and you did; I'm truly grateful for that. I will rebuild this club and make sure that the board and the fans are as one. We will come back stronger than ever before.












Sneer, sneer...I loved Saunder's lies about Cloughie; great laugh, tewd Deano. Blöody ungrateful lot those Spireites.

And, that fat dude up front was being bullied by the fans; I paid top wedge for him. And that Angel fella..who spent his entire contract on the treatment table/golf course/in the boozer; lovely lad.

Same here. It's arrogant manner and blatant ignoring of facts has just reinforced my not a penny more stance


Dave Allen said the other directors had run away, taking their money out and that disappointed him.

Well, watch the first 2 mins of this.

Dave, oh Dave, why do you and Ashley continue to lie like this?

What a good and interesting find!

It seems the directors actually tried very hard to satisfy DA, and that it was he who ‘ran away’ and not the directors as he claims. Basically, almost the opposite of what DA claims.

rumoured to be less 20% wasn't it and if they didn't agree they were threatened with Admin

IIRC 60's 70's Spireite asked the Chairman at the AGM to clarify their exit deals and gave him the opportunity to quash the above rumour, but he point blank refused.

More lies to compound the lies from them.

That is why I refuse to give them a penny, among other issues that have been stacking up.


I will not endorse this regime

This is the thing, mate; they just can't stop lying. They continually contradict themselves.

Allen's behaviour has been contemptible; yet, some folk are still falling for his bullshít rhetoric. It truly staggers me.

Thanks for the timely reminder, 'IDLM'.

And 'Wrong Kit's' account does match the version emanating from the Boardroom at the time. Infact it's my understanding the ex directors were faced with the choice of CFC going into administration or quitting whilst writing off 20% of their debentures' worth. So 'running away'? Pah.

Allen's smears are as cowardly as they're dishonest in my eyes, too. Because if it's true the former stalwarts signed non-disclosure agreements he knows they can't respond to his sneers. Not for the first time Sheff Road would appear a moral free zone.

Y'know, the whole sickening scenario at Town reminds of an episode in a pub when I was a young man. I was with a group of mates but, as we'd only just left school and were struggling to find work in Thatcher's Britain, had to watch what we were spending. On the other hand one big and brash bloke was chucking cash around like confetti, making a huge song and dance about buying drinks for everyone in return for nothing but their thanks. But then he suddenly turned ugly, approaching our group insisting it was our turn to buy a round in the full knowledge we couldn't really afford it. Before launching into an obnoxious tirade about 'boys shouldn't try to be men if they've nowt in their pockets' when we admitted as much.

I'm sure everyone can grasp my point.
