Musical chairs in the Truro boardroom.

Heaney has stepped down as a Director and two new Directors have joined.
One joined as a Director in early July but left three weeks later but is now back again as a Director.

Heaney has also stepped down as a Director at his company Truro Retail Park, remember he also set up a company called Plymouth Retail Park when he went through the farce of pretending to buy Argyle.

I do find this all a little 'unreal' Here we have club in tier 6 sorting out deals to pay players. It wasn't long ago that the team would be a bricklayer, a taxman, a bank manager, a teacher and even a ginger nut.
What sort of pay are these guys on ??????

I'm sure I've seen this idea before http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19285338? :think:

It is interesting to note that from the WMN article the Salisbury F.C. Chairman (owner of CGA Holdings) is on record as saying

"CGA Holdings paid the wages last week. I wanted to make sure the players got their money and that was done with Kevin Heaney's agreement."

Why is this of particular interest? Well on 25th August 2012 Truro City play Salisbury at home. So the opposition's Chairman is on record as paying the other team's wages. So much for the Dual Interest Test (remember that with BIL?).

Surely the football authorities must look at this arrangement closely given the Salisbury Chairman is also on record as paying Truro's HMRC, PAYE and wage bills. That is an indisputable involvement in the running of the football club. I wonder what other clubs in the League, struggling to pay their bills think?

Jeez, this and the Portsmouth saga - football governance really does stink at the moment, doesn't it? :furious:

It has been approved by the Conference (according to this article) which is bizarre given the Association and Dual Interests Rule

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19285338

The relevant bits:-

86 Interests in More Than One Football Club

86.2.5 has lent or gifted money to or guaranteed the debts or obligations of that football club, otherwise than in the ordinary course of banking.

86.3.2 anyone else of a close relationship with that person who, in the opinion of the Executive is or is likely to be acting with or who is financially dependent upon, that person; or

86.3.3 any company:

(a) of which that person (or any individual who is an associate of that person) is a director; or

So the chairman of one club has guaranteed the debts of another club through a company that he is director of. How could that possibly be in line with those rules?

I can't see the other clubs being best pleased with this - how can this possibly be keeping the integrity of competition in the league?
