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

Is Michael Jackson told us - a lie becomes the truth! Which is weird, as for him the truth never seemed to become the truth.

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 think that is the least plausible scenario out there (the jealous rival thing).
The most plausible is that the allegations are true but we have no way of knowing at the moment. If the allegations are false I'm trying to understand the motive behind it. Maybe he's just extremely unpopular and people are trying to knife him in the back. Again pure speculation.

Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.

How do you go about airing a grievance with the most senior managers performance in the organisation (not including the owners), when you know the HR department are being trodden over too?
The general advice is write a letter outlining your grievances, and present it to the company. Do you present it to Heck, knowing he will sack you on the spot. Do you present it to HR?
People have bills to pay, they may not be comfortable taking on Heck head on, they obviously feel the whistleblower approach is their best option.
The sweetheart deals are a concern too, and if there is significant money involved the whistleblowers will be sacrificed.

We are talking jape of the decade. We are talking April, May, June, July, and August Fool. Yes, that's right - I am Purslow.

You don't publish it on an anonymous Twitter account, because it achieves nothing, other than getting a few middle aged folks with nowt better to do discussing it.

You follow the internal channels then if that doesn't work or you are fired you get an employment lawyer . If they fire you unfairly you will win your case.

Possibly, but it would take ages to even come to tribunal and you'd probably have had your house repossessed by then.

Assuming it's genuine (which I believe it probably is) then it has cast a light on issues that the author / authors wanted raised.  At the very least these matters will be being looked at very closely by the club and the HR team.  If the allegations are true, it will make it incredibly difficult for Heck / his team to carry on with impunity.  There will almost certainly be a lot of scrutiny these and any similar issues over the next year or so.

I'd say that so far it has achieved exactly what they will have hoped it would achieve.
