Oh dear…. Might not be true…

Based on the excellent communication skills he's employed thus far, I can't believe this is true of the fantastic Mr Heck.

That does not make good reading at all and resonates with the statement made after he left the club in New York.

The Gerrard period taught me a big lesson.

The everyday fan actually is usually bang on about things. The person on the terrace can see when it isn't working out. For months with Gerrard I tried to convince myself it might work and ignored the growing consensus here and elsewhere. I also ignored my gut.

With Heck it has felt wrong from the minute the round badge was jettisoned and then the bizarre 'pause' of the new stand (among other things).

I don't know who issues this document but it reads like quite a credible one to me. How much harm is being done every single week?

Inept and now an alleged wrong ‘un. Winning combination.

Whether it is true or not having worked for American-led companies some of that sounds familiar.

Staff being sacked on the spot with no real justification other than the CEO mood, circumnavigating employment law, speaking inappropriately of other staff in front of people...

He’ll be gone soon, if this behavior is true

There's something about that letter that's just too perfect, if that's the right word to use. It came from an anonymous XformerlyknownasTwitter source with a handful of followers.

I'm a natural sceptic, so I'm not sure if it is true or not. The Twitter account has only recently been set up - which would be the thing to do if you have a grievance, but it could just as easily be a total wind-up.

That said if all of it turned out to be true is would hardly be a surprise.

I look forward to two days of arguing over something to confirm a prejudice one way or the other without ever being able to confirm the bona fides of the source material. This is now the zeitgeist and ACL chatter is passé. Yaaaaaaay Internet!

I'd imagine that account was created solely to release the document.

I think someone needs to have a word with Chris about UK employment law, looking at that.

I used to work for a company that was taken over by a US listed company halfway through my time there. The difference in day to day culture with it becoming firstly, an American company, and secondly, a listed American company was massive.

I mean that in general, day to day operations sense, not that all of a sudden they started sacking everyone or anything like that, but there was a period of significant misunderstanding usually around what you can and can not do in the UK versus the US.
