Former deputy chief executive dismissed over bullying allegations
The Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has revealed former deputy Mick McGuire was dismissed following allegations of bullying.
McGuire left the players' union last week amid reports of a breakdown in relations with Taylor.
And Taylor has announced that he showed McGuire the exit after claims of gross professional misconduct behaviour were 'substantiated'.
In a statement, Taylor said: "On Wednesday 11th March after serious allegations of bullying, which I found to be substantiated, I regrettably had no alternative but to summarily dismiss Mick McGuire for gross professional misconduct.
"As a trade union the PFA, and I as its chief executive officer, cannot condone bullying, nor allow it to continue."
