Horrible state of affairs.  Football in general needs to clean itself up.  safeguarding?  Does that exist in football clubs.

Saying that workplace bullying  is so common I suppose a lot depends on the extent and strength of the bullying.  Let the club and the authorities investigate this properly without making assumptions, either way

i'll never forgive him for that Southampton match and team selection - should have been sacked for that let alone this out-dated, shameful behaviour

It’s really shameful we have carried on paying him a wage to look after young adults after being charged. We should have sacked as soon as this all came out the first time. What a horrible man he is.

jwarry, it's irrelevant whether others 'pipe up now'. Farrelly has, and even if he's the only one if what he says is found to be true it's shameful. He's certainly not 'too weak', far from it. He's not to blame for this.


Spot on.

Too weak to cope with bullying?! Can’t think of a more stupid, ignorant thing I’ve read on this forum than that tbh.

Bye ‘KMac’. What an absolute scumbag waste of space bottle job walking example of the Peter Principle your are.

Weird that Farrelly's words are given more credence from events of twenty-plus years ago than last year's investigation.  Is it cos Gareth is a qualified lawyer and his words carry weight? I mean Ads is too, yet he's been saying for the last two and a half years that we'll piss the Championship and that's turned out to be a load of trollocks...

There really is no defence for that sort of behaviour and quite rightly the club are treating this very seriously.

Eamon he is an ambulance chaser I used to work with him when he first took up law- so solicitor on paper but in reality a clerk with a degree and an expensive qualification (LPC).

I don't know Kevin Mac or have never seen how he trains the younger players, but having already been found guilty of bullying by a Premier League panel he should have been sacked immediately after the verdict.

Makes sense why he always came across as a miserable sod whenever he would take the caretakers role.

It will be interesting to see if any other players/former players now come forward.

However, victim blaming is not the right response.

A weird one, some of the current youth players have tweeted their support for him together with some former players.
