Serious questions of the board need asking about how this man was given a job in the first place.

Even without his fraudulent background Stephen Jones was far from suitable, given his only past football knowledge revolved around a tinpot nonentity over ten years ago. How totally lacking in aspiration was that decision by our out of depth board members. Get help for God’s sake. Do you happen to know who the other candidates were? If not, you're not in a place to comment on that for God's sake. What a ridiculous assertion. Sounds to me like the advertising and selection processes were woefully inept, particularly if Jones was considered the best of the bunch. I stand by my comments. For all I know perhaps all applicants were criminals but Jones’ prior association with the mighty Prestatyn made it a no brainer in your eyes.

One thing I heard was Stuart Murphy was doing several visits to Fylde to see how their infrastructure works along with the Hospitality available which for Fylde is thriving. So it's a bit odd to see this Stephen Jones guy get this Job when Stuart Murphy has been doing these run arounds. Surely SM would have an decent idea of who to appoint.

How about this for a scenario and it may be near the truth. The Board made the appointment in good faith after having asked questions about any gaps in SJ’s CV, he was able to persuade them that there were good reasons and on what they were told and offered the post subject to DBS clearance. As they decided they needed to act as quickly as possible and as DBS checks take a few weeks to come through, they decided he could start subject to this check. A few weeks down the line the DBS would of informed the Board of any criminal actions and at that point he would have been sacked for non-disclosure.
What Duffy has done is to bring this matter forward, and we must be grateful to him, but in my years in HR I have never resorted to Google to find someone’s background.....the old CRB or new DBS would have flagged up any problems. In practice I would have waited for DBS and medical clearance before allowing anyone to start.
The Board can dismiss him without payment or notice in the circumstances that have arisen. No compensation would be due but perhaps to avoid a legal challenge they would pay him for the hours worked. So let’s hope all this happened and the Board acted correctly.....we cannot afford to lose any Board members.

Scary thought really. I know the 1 million is over 3 years but there would be monies accessible somewhere as someone stated we probably would have been dead by Christmas. There are rats everywhere trying to get into football clubs to take advantage, we are a sitting duck to prying eyes.

It's been dealt with within hours of the bloke being appointed. Calm down.

As we are on the topic and all that, and previously cited due diligence has taken place on this person (not Jones).
Has anyone done any historic digging to see if anyone now connected to the club has been in a court room years and years ago, and if persons there with them went to jail for how long and why, and if said person was acquitted and under what circumstances?

It was reported at the time of the agreement and in CFU meetings that the million quid is accessible only by agreement with SM and his team - he has power of veto on spending it, so it’s not just sitting in a cash tin at the office for some tea-leaf to help themselves to.
