Pregnant Manchester City executive jailed for stealing £100,000 from the club to pay for her wedding
A former Manchester City executive who stole more than £100,000 from the club to pay for her wedding has been jailed. Fiona Barclay, 33, worked as a business development manager for City within the football club's hospitality department, earning up to £30,000 a year.
She admitted depositing £15,000 of the sum into her own bank account, and paid it back to the club. But the club investigated further and discovered that Barclay had been siphoning money from the club since June 2019. Defending, Patrick Buckley appealed for Barclay to be spared from being sent to prison. He said that Barclay had moved from her home in Scotland to take the job, and had become isolated.
"It must have been inevitable that she would eventually be caught." He said the impact of the case has been 'utterly heartbreaking' for her and that her mental health has suffered. But Recorder Ciaran Rankin sent Barclay to jail. "This is a tragedy, you have thrown so much away because of your dishonesty, and, I'm afraid, pure greed," he told her.
