Looking Forwards

Post by moz1963 » Sun Oct 01, 2017 5:21 pm

A lot of posts on here regarding the activities today. The past has gone and we need to focus on the future and offer Brian and Sean the full support at the helm of this football club, onward and upward. Best of luck in your new roles

Quite the opposite, I'm afraid.

Stakeholders will want to know the exact ongoing financial commitment the club has to MGFA and its role in providing services to the club.

This will become of particular interest if Gray has been allowed to resign without any compensation and MGFA and still in receipt of revenue from the club.

Conflict of interests isn't it? So I'm guessing the relationship would need to be terminated?

That depends on what the relationship actually is. In the first instance, it simply needs clarification.

I'm excited to see what the new management team can bring to the team. Let's face it, they haven't got do much to improve on what we've been doing recently.

Feed players to York from the north east.

The manager doesn't decide on who stays and who goes ultimately - that is the clubs decision to accept or reject any appropriate transfer bids.

I do think there is a strange dynamic, I thought Gregan & Atkinson were MG's employees at MGFA?

Yea definite conflict of interest if they are employed by MGFA, it needs clarifying asap.

They are both listed as coaches with the Martin Gray Football Academy. Surely this situation will have to be checked out as regards conflict of interest and FA guidance\rules. How does it square up when we play York and generally with their other employer managing a club in the same competition as us? Looks fraught with difficulties. Could we land in hot water over this?

I'm not sure. Is MG actually listed as their employer, or is he also an employee of MGFA and ownership is held by a separate company?

One thing is for sure. The FA will have a clause and 50 sub-sections covering this kind of thing with all manner of punishments if you fall foul of them.

So atkinsons a co-director with gray and gregan must be employed by them as a coach. These links between two clubs in the same league is an unusual situation to say the least.
