STAGS TRUST HAS 'MONEY IN BANK'


A Director of Mansfield Town Football Club's community charity insists he is happy with its accounts - despite having written to other members of the board suggesting it was insolvent.

Coun Chris Winterton, a director of the Stags Community Trust, wrote to fellow directors, Mansfield Town owner Keith Haslam and Alan Meale MP, on May 31.

In the letter, seen by the Nottingham Evening Post, he recommended "that the trust cease to trade with immediate effect" as the "only cause of action that will ensure no further debts are incurred by the trust".

He asked for an emergency board meeting and suggested bringing in an independent insolvency advisor.

He was raising the concerns because he did not feel the club was able to pay Bernard Wale, a consultant brought in to work for the trust.

But now he has told the Nottingham Evening Post those concerns have been allayed.
