I'm not defending him and I'm not clarkieing you, just don't see the point in throwing him to the wolves in the press.
He's made a mistake, he's 20 years old, and if anything has gone on, his missus should be the one issuing the retribution.
Would United let this happen to Greenwood or one of their players? Look at the treatment Maguire got, and fucking family-man Ferdinand. Time for a PR offensive. Get him on This Morning imo
Nah man, fuck that.
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. What he's done isn't an unforgivable sin but he's been a total bell end and he needs to learn from it.
The last thing I want to see is the club paying for a PR exercise in excusing what he's done. It won't be good for him in the long run and it's counterproductive. The Maguire thing blew up even more when he tried making out he got trapped in a Taken sequel.
The best thing the club can do both for itself and for Phil is to keep their mouths shut and investigate the incident behind closed doors. He has to stand on his own two feet.
