Let me just say this. If the video that came out of Mason Greenwood was brought against me, even if charges were dropped, my company would no longer want me representing them. I'd be gone. Mason Greenwood doesn't deserve to play football again.

Wonder if he really is genuine as I'm thinking back to that Giggs tweet.

“Clumsy”
He’s liking a tweet where a violent rapist got off.
That ain’t clumsy that’s sick.

Maybe your employer has more stringent standards than the rags management ?

The only thing United are doing during its "own process" is trying to figure out a way minimize the backlash from his return, otherwise no "own process" would be needed. He is already back on their website listed as a player for them, they literally couldnt even wait on hour. If they come up with a story thats good enough for half the fanbase, he stays and protests that will be massive at first will get smaller and smaller the longer time has past. My guess is that he will return to the start of preseason in the summer. They will choose the "he is a victim of false accusations after an argument with his loved one who said some things because she was mad at him" approach. Point out that they are still together (if whats being rumored is true) and that he has not been charged with anything. Then decline to ever comment on the matter again. Former The Sun Chief Football Reporter and now United PR adviser Neil Ashton will tell club journos what to write, Neville will sell the narrative about that "the young boy has not even been charged with anything and deserves a chance" on Sky.

Only way they would actually do the right thing and boot him out is if they fear it would cause a massive backlash from sponsors. Which is not completely ruled out, we all saw the pictures and heard the tapes. But considering what a disgusting club the rags are in every way, my guess is that he will play for them next season.

Thinking about it. The CPS are acting disgracefully here. They decided there was enough evidence to charge Greewood with Coercive and Controlling Behaviour.
That means he decides what she does and says.
Now they drop the charges because she will not co-operate !!!!
I wonder why she refuses to assist in the prosecution case of a violent rapist, I can't work it out.

She may still be under his coercion. This happened to an acquaintance of mine years ago. She was battered beyond belief, he was put on remand for assault and a week later he was out, she'd dropped the charges such was his complete control of her. A year later he murdered her. There was a major kick off after the trial about the conduct of the police and cps and that it wouldn't happen again but obviously nothing has changed. I hope the girl gets away from him, a leopard doesn't change it's spots.

Has any club ever had more players connected with violence against women than Manchester United?

Greenwood is showing as being part of the squad now on the United website so I get the feeling they plan to bring him back in.

What a vile disgusting club they are!

Opposition fans need to go all out to show their duscust at this decision.

Maybe Bayern Munich and Madrid. With Ribery/Benzema.

I hate them.
However, I am reserving judgement. They acted swiftly in suspending him. One hopes they are now just following due process before dismissing him.

If that’s true, I will hold them higher in my estimations.

If he plays for them again, well, that confirms the calibre of that club.

We should though be careful, people in glass houses and all that. (Mendy).

Well Mendy has ended up in court AND been acquitted of half a dozen counts..two still pending.
On top of that I'm pretty damn sure he has no future at the club even if he miraculously morphed into the next Roberto Carlos

Can you blame them it would have just ended up like the Giggs case, he said she said and no proper witnesses.

You don’t need witnesses when you’ve got audio tape of him raping her!

 

[FightLikeAGirl]

Agreed but not sure it's just relevant for footballers.
Rape convictions are really low. Many victims don't come forward, it's grim.

True. I know women who didn’t report their rapes for various reasons.
