Never had many dealings with Rob, but on the few occasions I have, he has always been helpful and friendly. There can be no doubts about his love and dedication to the Accrington Stanley cause, but what the hell was he thinking placing bets for Stanley to lose. I have a feeling that it’s these bets that have sunk Rob more than anything.

If we are ever to shake off our “tin-pot” image, then this has to be last time our name is dragged through the mud by one of our own. Imagine being a potential investor, player or even JB and reading headlines about the Managing Director placing bets on his own team to lose. I cannot imagine this happening at any other club – this must be the last time.

RH has made a massive error of judgement for someone in his position to allow this to happen. He has lost his dream job and his reputation.

The only sympathy I have for him is that he has a young family to provide for and has more than likely lost his livelihood.
