Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

[sid1964]

My wife, when she worked at a large nationwide shop brand was in the GMB as were most of her fellow employees and their union rep was useless.

I remember working at one large company in Birmingham, if you were asked to leave your job, security used to stand over you to make sure that you were not stealing any company property and then escorted you out of the building.

Also at the company in Wolverhampton, where the owner was protected by 2 well known brothers from that area, who when you were told to leave, within 2 minutes you had left the business (no HR, were employed or needed)!! - the background check on you was that they used to drive past your house to see where you lived, just in case of any problems in the future.

Has Mr. Heck been sacked yet? it will be interesting to see the club response to these allegations.

Until the source of these allegations has been identified we have to take them with a pinch of salt. These are serious allegations and if evidence is forthcoming that they're true then Mr Heck should be escorted off the premises and an internal investigation launched. But right now this is just a distraction from our aims on the pitch. For all we know it could be coming from a jealous blue nose or a rival for the CL spot. As the old saying goes "you're never more than six feet from a man united fan" Right now we need to focus on what is happening on the pitch starting with a very tricky match against Fulham tomorrow.

I'd be amazed if a single Man Utd fan knows who Chris Heck is.

I think that is the least plausible scenario out there (the jealous rival thing).

If anything , throwing stuff like this onto Social Media will only strengthen Heck's position. Its a bizarre way of going about a grievance

You think?  He's in a stronger position now than he was a week ago?

ok.

He's no weaker. Unless there's official stuff behind the scenes.

If this is genuine then it's someone very junior, because anyone senior wouldn't be stupid enough.

[Des Little]

True or not, I get the impression that Heck is a massive wanker.

Can we have a truth or lie poll and see what the majority of us think

I think he probably is, but I'm sceptical about these leaks. I base my thinking on American sports executives seeming to be absolute bellends in every field, even more so in their own sports than when they pop up over here.

If I want gossip I buy the Sun or Mirror newspaper

A similar thing happened with Brewdog.  I can't recall the final outcome but there was certainly damage to the brand and a lot of scrambling by the owners.

Brewdog is a brand dedicated to, for and about absolute wankers.

Preach, sister.

Yes, on the face of it (going off all we have seen is this missive posted on X) it looks like insubordination and trouble making / attention seeking staff .
