Looks like your mate's right.

Football Rules & Governance - Heys charged | The FA

rude-dog · 05-08-2013, 15:30

Me too its now on sky sports. If any of the games involve Accy I don't see how he can continue in his post

Well, the man who nearly everyone on this board is scared to criticise despite the fact he has been at the centre of all the failings and problems at the club over the years has been charged with gambling offences.

Are you going to throw your precious Rob to the dogs the same way you did with Cavanagh, Williams, etc or do you continue to creep up to Rob?

It does make me laugh, the amount of times things go wrong/don't happen/etc at the club and no one in here dares question Rob Heys.

I don't even know Rob, but I do know if your the chief exec you should get fair criticism and questions.
He seems to be beyond criticism.

This is an opportunity for some of you to explain why you are to scared to ever ask questions of Rob.

BTW,
having your chief exec involved with dodgy gambling is far worse in terms of Google Page Ranking than the players.

Players in the lower leagues come and go, a chief exec is meant to act in the clubs best interest.

Its not the clubs best interest to have the sky sports scroll bar displaying he has been charged with gambling offences.

Accrington Stanley

nothing here.

If the FA are wrong, the club needs to put out a fast response denying the charges.

question still stands, why some of you never ask questions of the chief exec when things go wrong?

Shall we just hold on until it's properly established whether he is, or isn't, guilty of anything? That always used to be the way it was done ............ I'm sure most people would prefer to hold their counsel and await due process, rather than to start a speculative witch-hunt

DAV007 · 05-08-2013, 15:51

I agree, but some where happy to witch hunt when the players got charged.

I don't think it's a matter of him being beyond criticism, I think a lot of people thought he was the cardboard king's puppet and must be OK after Ilyas kept him as Chief Exec. Certainly looks like he has some explaining to do now.

He's still fully entitled to the presumption of innocence

Just as the rest of us would be

Thanks Yerself

I genuinely didn't understand what peoples thinking was.
Now you have given yours, it helps to understand why he seems to be the only chief exec in the football world who never gets questioned.

I do agree if Iylas gives his blessing then he must have something to him.

Again,
I agree.

I was simply making the point some people didn't give the same presumption if innocence to some of the players.

innocent or not, the club needs to respond fast to take ownership of the story.
That's what good chief execs do.
