Can't blame him really with all the emails he's received in the last few weeks, and that was just from H&V.

Pleased for him if he’s found another role…no one wants to spend their whole day answering complaints about their utter c bomb of a boss.  Soul destroying I can imagine after the Arsenal game

Makes you wonder what team morale is in there. Poor chap taking ownership of all the cock ups to some degree because he actually cares, obviously tipped him over the edge if true.

That statement earlier this year, purportedly from demoralised staff? Why was that not taken more seriously? From what I remember social media sort of dismissed it out of hand. To me it seemed like something very elaborate and too detailed to be a total hoax. And quite revealing of how society tends to react to whistle blowing.

I’m not sure if it is how society reacts to whistleblowers, but it is definitely how football fans react to whistleblowing at their club when things are going well on the pitch. The whistleblowers are usually viewed as disgruntled people who were holding things back or doing things wrong and quickly forgotten.

[Richard E]

Any whistleblowers should get a good lawyer. Or me, if they can’t find one.

[john e]

Did Lee resign or get fired ?

[VillaTim]

Has it been officially confirmed

35 years . I have worked for Lee in the past ( Match days) . I can confirm he is a really professional guy . The club will have a big job replacing him with someone of the same calibre.

[SaddVillan]

I'm guessing that Heck's reporting to Wes and Naseef that everything's hunky-dory regarding the commercial and admin operations at B6 6HE, trying to paper over the PR shit show he's creating.

Can't keep it up forever.

[BC54 VFC]

No, Lee Preece has.

That's really sad to hear. He responded by email to a complaint of mine a couple of weeks ago and was as professional as ever. I made a point of going back to him and thanking him, saying 'keep up the good work', for which he expressed gratitude. The Club simply cannot afford to be losing long-serving staff of the calibre of Lee Preece.
