That article reads a lot more damning than you are making out.
First he didn't hear a rumour he heard someone had made allegations. Secondly he seemed to know enough to act....'Carver said he never confronted Ormond with the allegations, but instead found what he later agreed was “a ruse” to “get George Ormond out of the football club”.'
As for the dinosaur comment it's not like your 95 Year old nan who still uses the wrong words. An allegation was made about a bloke in a position of power over kids being a peado and again Carver knew enough to get him out the club without making anything official. It's shit, cowardly and wrong.
