The Club Charged By The FA

[Broadbents Tackle]

I've heard a rumour that things will turn out alright in the end. Can't give a time frame or any further information I'm afraid.

[The Grim Reaper]

I heard from my mate Chinese Dave, who heard two old ladies on a bus talking about Lee Power. Turns out he hates cheese which quite frankly is scandalous if true.

[BambooToTheFuture]

No Gruyére daydreams for Lausanne Lee then!

What is about to come has more holes than Emmental, runs deeper than cured Camembert  and stinkier than Limburger.

Ooh, "Limburger Lee" has a good ring to it!

Wonder whether we've settle the unpaid wages dispute with Phil Brown yet, I'm sure he'll get a call from any journos doing a piece on this fiasco.

Hi All
I thought you would all like to know that in a joint letter between the Trust and the Official Supporters Club (OSC) we have sent a letter today to both the FA and EFL relating to the breaches and asking for them to ensure if found guilty any punishment is applied to the individuals themselves and not that of the football club. Article and letter here: https://truststfc.tv/truststfc-and-osc-write-to-the-fa-and-efl-relating-to-fa-charge-concerns-and-ask-for-club-not-to-be-punished-if-breaches-are-proven/

Is this something that could be taken into account in any decision making process?

Good work!

Probably not but it certainly doesn't hurt and, I suppose, opens up an avenue for dialogue between these regulatory bodies and the fans of the club.

The sentiment is great, but, the proof will be in precedent of the prosecution of such cases it may be cases where perpetrators rather than clubs have been sanctioned don't get the publicity, but I cannot think of any examples where a club has not been sanctioned, albeit would be delighted to be proven wrong.

I don't know anything about the regulation of clubs and those involved in their ownership etc. As a lay person, I'm not sure how you cannot sanction a club as well the individuals in question.  It is perhaps stating the obvious that I hope that this is wrong.

I am unfortunately similarly limited in specialist knowledge, but from experience of dealing with legal matters I am inclined to agree, as it stands STFC is Seebeck is Swinton Reds is Power/Standing/Clem.

As I noted when this all kicked off, the fact that the club have not achieved anything through their owners actions is not really relevant.

I think you only have to look at his silky paisley neckerchief to know he's doing alright

Superb - great work.

[Frigby Daser]

Great work, and can do no harm. But when Power et al took the actions they did, they were acting in their capacity as officers of the club - so the club is in breach. I can’t argue with the sentiment that the fans shouldn’t be punished, but that would need an overhaul of FA rules.
