“What I hope will come in future is if anyone has an issue in the future … if you believe there has been inappropriate behaviour, tell us at the time.
“Go to the CEO or go to the head of football. We don’t want anyone to feel and carry the burden of inappropriate behaviour if, in fact, inappropriate behaviour is proven. Because at this stage we’ve only had one side.”

How about the management of the club regularly review their practices to ensure a safe working environment for their employees, including an abusive president, rather than rely on victim statements to identify problems.
