Think the artice is an important corrective to some of the more puzzling assumptions of what was going on at Horsham. But I would really caution against trying to find a culture war angle to this - certainly many are available if you want to get worked up about that kind of thing, "political correctness gone mad", "American attitudes vs British common sense" - all I strongly believe will be proved wide of the mark.
At the end of the day, there is a certain standard of conduct and behaviour that, if you have a position of management responsibility over others, particularly young staff, that you will be expected to conform to in this country, whether you do your job, my job or any job in football.
We just need to wait and see what comes out of the FA and PFA when they finish their investigation, as their reports should give by far the strongest indication as to what actually occured. I'm not too worried abot the speed at which this is done as it's important to make sure that their reports are accurate and they have gathered all the evidence that's available. With the decision that was made a few days ago (plus the club hiring a specialist to deal with it), I'd hope that the main focus for Preston, Lewis and co. now is to sort out which players should be offerered new contracts as well as begin the process of finding the manager that's right for this club going forward. Again there is no rush at all (especially as the season has finished now) as it's more important to do it properly so we hire the best possible person for the job
What on earth is wrong with you? You take the Daily Mail and other such outlets as gospel when it’s speaking against Yems, however as soon as The Athletic publish this, with direct quotes from Lewis Young, we must wait for the investigations to be completed
I spent a half an hour talking to John Yems after bumping into him as I sometimes do at my local shop. I just asked how he was doing and he just opened up. Without naming names John showed me messages on his phone from players and staff giving him their support and shock of what's being alleged. The players giving support include all ethnicities. He showed me other stuff which make a lot of what's being claimed to be bollox.
He admits he is not perfect but never racist.
We bade our good byes and went about the rest of the day.

I hope he keeps those messages; he may need them in the near future.

Yep he's not a fool. His lawyer most likely has copies

JY, should keep his council and not comment outside the FA scenario; mistake. The cabal aka "Steve", continues to revel in JY character assassination job.
I am withdrawing from taking an interest in the club, as long as the septic tanks are owners.

Yes, it is cringing Gruffi, if they get any more sanctimonious we should loan them to The Plastics.
Will give it all a proper response when I get time but it is all a spot hectic at present.

Well, they can only buy their friendships for so long, we know that it always unravels in time.
Edit: Meant to ask: Preston's podcast revealed that the takeover had been ongoing on since January. Which casts serious doubts on their background research, intelligence gathering & due diligence process, As they seems to have overlooked a few (allegedly) obvious issues when gathering their extensive data analytics...
...so, did they outsource the task to Sue Gray...(?)
I stopped buying newspapers many years ago - having realised that if they mis-reported so badly on stories I knew something about, how could I rely on stories I didn’t know much about and was hoping would inform me about the news? Looks like the standards haven’t improved at all.

The inaccuracies in that article could net JY a decent pay day if he's prepared to pursue it and if a no-win-no-fee lawyer is interested. EDIT: I buy i these days. The digital sub is only £4.99 a month. The paper has a decent standard of reporting in my view.

I would be very surprised if much of that article is true at all to be honest. It doesn't seem to make much sense

Odd. You’ve been taking everything they’ve said for gospel up to now?
The Daily Mail appears to be operating a campaign against John
Awful paper who appear to want to destroy someone’s life just so that they can sell more newspapers.
It doesn’t happen by accident, what a story: "Scumbag disgraced racist Yems makes phone call"...
…odd really - like it has been from the strangely contrived timing - while we were all asleep - of the point it all kicked off - Someone is deliberately feeding it to them…
