The article only goes to further embarrass both GFC & McCammon. How did Scally think that he could enforce additions to his copy of McC's contract regarding a pay cut following relegation. To save a few quid by not having a proper draft written up for both parties, it will cost the club thousands.
McC's claim of racism, not having been made within the statutory three month period, does nothing for him. It may show that he is playing the race card - purely because the colour of his skin gives him that 'opportunity'. The circumstances of the abuse of this 'advantage' seriously undermines genuine racism complaints - however, we all know that if you throw enough excrement it will stick. In these politically correct & enlightened days nobody can just ignore an allegation of racism - even if made outside the statute of limitations. Racism is such an embarrassment if proven, that, despite McCammon's late claim, the Club needed to immediately refer the matter to an independent investigator.
It does appear that the club has been guilty of poor administration in more than one aspect of the matter. Unfortunately when you throw in a 'sensational' allegation of racism - which, in itself has not been proven, that allegation gains a lot of credence because of the failings in other details - which are mainly secretarial - but a lot of gullible people will believe any newspaper headline.
