Adam Johnson guilty - 6 year sentence

[bobmcfc]

To be honest this whole case has me shocked. At first (havine seen a pic of the girl) i was kinda on johnsons side. Dont know if anyone else has seen but if i were pressed id have said she was about 22. Obviously i assumed the 'highly paid footballer duped' line but then he goes an says he knew her age. Wow so therefore he is a straight out fiddler.dunno part of me perhaps shaded by my view on the evans case thinks hes been had but hes admitting it, well most of it. Think the evans case casts a massive shadow here

That photo was a fake

He may well have money stashed away somewhere. Stuart Hall ensured his wife had the house before he changed his plea etc. At a push, the innocent parties don't get hurt by the actions. Some slight honour left...

What a plank.

Sadly he's probably earned enough by the age of 28 for him not to have to work again ... possibly more than most of us will earn in a lifetime.

Okay, his income has just been severed but he'll still, probably, be reasonably comfortable once he comes out of court/prison. Sorry but I have no sympathy whatsoever and, if proven guilty, I hope that someone takes away his little nest egg and he has to try and make ends meet .... good luck (not) trying to find work with a criminal record as a paedophile!

I don't think he's going to be particularly comfortable when sitting down once they've finished with him in the showers in Strangeways...

I dread to think what the headlines would be if he was still at City....
Well done Mancini for getting rid!

The same manager who signed him? He wouldn't guarantee him first team football so he asked for a move.

He groomed a girl considered to be a child,nothing more to say,i despise the way you guys stick together

To be fair, the vast majority of us men on this thread have been full of condemnation for what he's done.

Perspective is a wonderful thing.

Perspective is great when you know she's 15 years and one month old, a still get her to meet you.

He realised what he was like once he'd signed him.
Remember him being hotly tipped for making the World Cup in S Africa but Capello didn't like his attitude....

No. I wouldn't have taken 20 million either. I'd want that bastard prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Come on tell the truth

There was one knocking about that was supposed to be her but it was actually his mrs. There was another one which I think was genuine.
