Players / Manager abuse Investigation by the BBC

[burning blue soul]

Hopefully it’s Rashford and ten Hag and they both get sent down.

Surely, they are suffering enough as they are? Have a heart.

Whatever happened to the Everton player? Siggursson or however it was spelt?

The Toffees are blaming him for one of the reasons they failed FFP...

It's a shame the BBC aren't as good at investigating their own employees as they are other organisations over sexual abuse allegations

Indeed, don't pay the BBC licence and fund their pedo ring.

Thrown out apparently, just like the Rag players. No Further Action. He's now playing for Iceland again.

From Wikipedia: "On 14 April 2023, Greater Manchester Police confirmed that no further action would be taken against Gylfi. Gylfi's lawyer said that the player would not sue British authorities over the investigation."

Looks like they've ruined his career for a case they couldn't prove. But strange that he's not suing, suggesting that he's not too confident a civil court would side with him?

And just like we did with Mendy Everton terminated his contract but it got nowhere near as much press attention.

Funny that

Don't we already know who the two players are? It said 'sexual or domestic violence,' which presumably means one of each. I assume it's not breaking any rules to say that Antony is the domestic violence accusation, because that's been very public already. And there's a player that I think we're still not technically allowed to name, but everyone knows, and has had his bail extended several times. I've not heard anything about those charges being dropped yet.

On the wider point, it's a very difficult situation, because ultimately, you can't have a system where someone's entire career gets halted on the basis of a single accusation, but equally, we know that the rates of lying about rape in particular, are extremely low, and when they do occur, are typically obviously fantastical, and coming from someone with serious mental health issues. I think it's different when there are multiple accusations from unconnected individuals though.

We learnt better not to judge from accusations even charges in the Mendy case

City didnt terminate Mendy contract I thought it ran down

Think we stopped his pay due to bringing club into disrepute. His contract conveniently came to an end as the trial finished. Think that is why he is suing us. Think our learned resident boffins would know better.
