Possibly the single most disgraceful set of comments by the Chairman ever - he has sunk to a new low.

BTW, many of his comments are simply not true, and even if they were, blaming an employee who put so many years of dedicated service into Worcester City FC at personal expense at times, who delivered so many great experiences for supporters of WCFC, who committed to WCFC at a level rarely seen at any level of football these days, is the act of a complete coward.

The buck stops with you Hampson. You've spent the last 10 years wrecking this once fine club, and blaming everyone and anyone but yourself. What next? The big boys made you do it?

Asked how much responsibility he felt Heeley should take for the club's losses, Hampson replied: “Everyone has to take responsibility. I don’t think it is a question of finger pointing at one person.

....yet he then goes on to do exactly that, pointing the finger of blame at just one person......Carl .

Carl produced the wage spend report weekly to Hampson, so at all times from May 16 to Jan 17 (when Carl resigned) he had a weekly running total. Hampson was fully aware of spend, and never said a word. So....who's really to blame? 

I sat on the Board from December 15 to July 16, and was party to the budget discussions for the 16/17 season. They were nothing like what Hampson is now saying. So it seems that other discussions took place that some of us on the Board were not aware of....again!

Wow i have to say I'm gobsmacked how he almost washes his hands of the whole sorry saga, considering he's hardly put on the spot by doing this through the worcester news he could surely do better than this, to set your budget on the assumption of a cup run knowing the consequences with no quick way out of it all is nothing short of scandalous, he has indeed sunk to a new all time low

[alwaysnextyear]

Utterly disgraceful comments from Hampson, but sadly expected. The man has zero credibility.

As for setting a budget based on a cup run..............

As for Carl signing on player after player ( something I commented on many times , asking where the money is coming from, especially the Connor Hughes farce ), Joe Murphy must have been aware as a Director, because he was football secretary. It'll be his fault next !

Presumably Wilcox, Layland, and Pinches walk around blind folded as well ?

Reminds me a lot of work, always blame the last bloke who's left.

Hampson should be under investigation and, be suspended as a director of any company for life

I find those AH quotes really quite bizarre. Someone call the men in white coats ...

A dedicated employee that was quite happy to overspend probably knowing the situation.

This just gives everyone more proof of how much Hampson has no clue how to run a football club or be involved in how a club would should be run! And he’s still there not a care in the world. It’s just a shame the fans can’t generate enough interest to really cause a scene and get him out.

Heeley is no innocent man in my eyes, a man who supposedly loved the club, happy to waste money. Yes he was given the green light to spend, probably believed the Board when they told him he has a decent budget!

Surely Mr Hampson would have told Carl the amount that was available spend, If as you say that Carl was on a spend spend spend mission ,then it was up for the board to say no .Carl cannot "overspend" money that he did not have.Sorry but Mr H is a weak man ,who cannot communicate to the people that ask questions

[wcfcnb82]

Either Carl asked for the money and Hampson said yes, or Hampson said this is what you can have amd heeley rubbed his hands together, either way, it’s a crime!!!

At the end of the day it’s us fans that will be let down by those who are and we’re in charge

[m1llwall]

Presumably (unless the club keeps its funds in cash) every spend needs a cheque or an electronic funds transfer which required at least two signatures. Ignorance of commitments is/was therefore a load of tosh.
