From the FA site and copied in below - http://www.thefa.com/news/2017/jan/09/f ... ember-2016
Steven Lynch, Halesowen Town FC
Three breaches of FA Rules – (i) it is alleged that Lynch breached signed undertakings in that he failed to disclose that he remained ‘interested’ in Halesowen Town FC; (ii) it is further alleged that contrary to the Owners’ and Directors’ Test Regulation 3.1.3 Lynch acted as a Director/Officer at times between January 2012 and January 2015 without written confirmation being given to the club by the Association; and (iii) it is further alleged that Lynch acted in an improper manner on 3 February 2012 when entering into a loan agreement on behalf of Halesowen Town FC.

Lynch has until 9 December 2016 to respond.

Halesowen Town FC
Nine breaches of FA Rules:
1. Breach of FA Rule E1 (f) – it is alleged that the club, having given signed undertakings to The FA, breached those requirements in that it failed to disclose that Steven Lynch remained ‘interested’ in the club.
2. Six breaches of FA Rule E1 (e) – alleged breaches in relation to participation in competitions when Steven Lynch or his associate was ‘interested’ in the club as well as a second club without prior written consent.
3. Breach of FA Rule E1 (b) – it is further alleged that contrary to FA Rule I (1) (g), the club entered into a loan agreement on 3 February 2012 without the documentation being signed by the two club officials or management committee members independent of the party extending the loan.
4. Breach of FA Rule E1 (b) – it is further alleged that contrary to FA Rule I (1) (c) (i), the club prepared company accounts for the period 1 October 2011 to 30 March 2013 in which items on the balance sheet did not include the corresponding amount for the immediately preceding financial year.

Halesowen Town FC has until 9 December 2016 to respond.
I don't know what this means, other than I assume it's something to do with Steve's involvement with Eastwood.
Also there seems to be a charge about loan players and one about financial reporting.

Did we respond? What was the outcome? When will we hear possible sanctions?

Points reduction, fine or the worst scenario IMO kicked out of the FA Cup.

This is terrible and worrying news.

We need answers but I fear we'll get the usual silent treatment.

Rome is burning! :(

I guess the above would explain the recent apparent cost cutting in playing staff.

I understand that Graham Bean's charges are not exactly low

I guess that I should have used the word "fees" rather than "charges" in the circumstances

Considering the FA are involved, you're very unlikely to get a reply on here I'd have thought. It could leave him open to more charges. So, yes, I imagine silence is the answer. Doesn't stop supporters maybe thinking about working together again? Remember 8 years ago?

Yes, it will be interesting to see who steps up to the plate this time.

Statement on the website - budget hasn't been cut. To my surprise.

I do take issue wth rumours? I've only seen questions asked, mind.

We've responded to the charges and awaiting a date from the FA.
