Exit of Finance Officer

Mel Hayman is reported in the Herald as having "left by mutual consent".

She is an accountant and lifelong fan. For a business (and I hesitate to use that term) that is publicly in severe financial difficulties to lose a person with some grasp of cash flow etc. is a worrying situation.

The inference from Phillips is that the role (including all fiduciary requirements) will be undertaken by the remaining 3 employees and the current directors! His comment that the club will need to replace her "at some stage" concerns me.

Comment made in an earlier post that administration is a possibility again, maybe the reason she has left?

Why would the finance officer resign midway through a financial year, at the end fare enough and having given enough notice to have a replacement already in place, why was the fans forum cancelled at such short notice, Phillips saying they were short on numbers, hello, all you need is Phillips and Nicholson for the fans forum , did the forum cancellation take place after the meeting with the TUST this afternoon. Does it have anything to do with not receiving the cash that we would have had if we had won last night, These and many more conspiracy theories will undoubtedly abound and breed in a information vacuum, well they will in my mind, I like facts, not rumours but there is no smoke without fire and too many coincidences especially at our club spell disaster

From a business point of view, you wouldn't want your employer to go into administration whilst your at the helm of the finances.

I would suggest that Mel has got out before her professional profile is tarnished by such a situation.

TUST have just completed their financial inspection doodahs and had a meeting with the board - I know no facts but my guess is that the two are connected.

I wouldn't be too upset if it emerged that GI's mole had been identified.

You cannot make a comment like that without giving us some more, especially as I building a scaffold for the perpetrator as we speak.
