Hundreds of thousands, of what?

Pounds

Don't want to turn this into a "our club/your club" thing but this is interesting, and I suspect isn't an isolated occurrence in the world of football generally.

How Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his agent protected Babacar Sarr, a man with 6 rape allegations

Sickening.

Fucking shocking if that was my daughter I’d be looking at 15 years now

Not if I was on the jury you wouldn’t mate

Cheers MB much appreciated Fella

 

[Blue Mist]

Hadn't heard that one, admittedly!

Google it, it makes very interesting reading.

The same De Gea who organised an abusive, non-consensual sex 'party' with prostitutes for Spanish u21 national team?

Isn't saying non-consentual sex with prostitutes a bit redundant?

 

[ChicagoBlue]

If the “evidence” (pictures and audio) that is public is shown to be related to Greenwood’s actions against her, then it’s almost an open and shut case.

That the girl recorded herself saying she did not want sex (at least twice), and he continues ordering her to do things, then threatens her if she pushes him away again, only serves to bolster the case for her injuries.

IF it all ties together, and his lawyers can find no extenuating circumstances, it does not bode well for him.

IF he is found guilty, I hope he spends at least the bulk of his prime playing years in jail and is a pariah thereafter.

Fwiw, the same goes for Mendy.

There is no place in society for sexual violence. It is a cancer that needs eradicating.

Cheers MB much appreciated Fella

You’d be getting a medal if I was the judge.

i would have thought that 'non consensual' sort of implies they were maybe glamour women, not prostitutes?

 

[MadchesterCity]

In fairness, we paid £100m for Grealish. Not having a dig at Grealish but I think it was fairly common opinion that this piece of shit was destined for the very top. He was certainly thought to have a far higher ceiling than Grealish. All irrelevant now, as he’ll likely never earn a penny again from what is likely his only talent. Thankfully.

I wouldn’t be so sure, got a feeling they will try and settle it out of court and brush this under the carpet. He should be made an example of as should Mendy!

Even if that's possible I cant imagine any top club would go there.

His name is mud forever

 

[MadchesterCity]

Papers don't know re last couple years.

There were plenty of tips last year from the public he had supposedly been arrested one particular weekend but it just never went anywhere.

Papers don't sit on stuff of such gravity if they can prove it.

What I will say, is maybe give Martin Samuel column a read today.

There is a worrying inference City could be in a much worse light after the Mendy case is all out in the wash, but United might also know a bit more than previously let on.

It's a good piece.

Oh fuck, have you got a link?

MARTIN SAMUEL: Football cannot look away from Greenwood allegations

MARTIN SAMUEL - CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: The urge might be to look away. The blood, the bruises, the smudged, frightened eyes. But football simply cannot look away.

Sounds like that was what they were trying to do which forced her into this situation. Now it’s out for public consumption, in the public interest takes over.

 

[cleavers]

Now it’s out for public consumption, in the public interest takes over.

And you can't "settle out of court" if he's charged with rape and assault, so he'll either be convicted or acquitted, it's that simple.

If a club needs goals to get it into the premier league promised land or avoid relegation and the £100m cashfall that accompanies it, then they will put their morals aside and take a media backlash for a couple of months

 

[Bursa]

Disappointed as hell, watched him for years now and grown to like him, was hoping he’d continue developing and become the player he showed promise to being.

That being said, there’s no room nor excuse for physical nor sexual abuse to anyone, in football or anywhere. If he’s guilty then he’s just thrown a great life away, all before his 21st birthday.

 

[dubblue]

I don’t understand how a 20 year old could risk throwing everything he’s worked for away like this…it’s actually just depressing and so sad. Does he know he did wrong or is his sense of entitlement so skewered that he thinks he’s done nothing wrong. I don’t get it.

How can we be put in a bad light? he was charged we then acted. Surly the club wouldn’t act until criminal charges had been served ?

Think this case is a bit different to others, we all heard what we heard it makes a lot more personal, people wont forget. A club in financial ruin needing their stadium burnt down for insurance purposes might consider it mind.
