To be fair the unflattering media attention has been a surprise. Something is definitely going on in the background.

I would love to interview all the Managers still alive who took their teams to the swamp from 1993 until 2013.No holds barred,refereeing decisions,Fergie time etc, what they actually thought was going on.The media of course joked about Fergie time and watches when in reality it was downright cheating when in the msm Mcfc are the cheats, for investing in their business.

I'd love to know what Wenger REALLY thought of Riley's performance in the infamous 2-0 at the Swamp (2004) when the Rag's systematically took turns in kicking Reyes out of the game, and Horse face getting away with an absolutely disgusting foul.

Plenty of skeletons buried at the swamp with the Govan Bully pulling the strings.

Many teams shafted before they ever got on the pitch , and the media licking the despot's arse for fun .

Surely until a person is charged then the employer will not take any action, as the allegations could be false. Any action could be deemed an allegation of guilt, especially for a public figure, as they say mud sticks

You’d would like to think so, but Antony has been “suspended” without charge.

Just a normal day out at that shithole I suspect.

There is a premier league footballer who is on bail whilst under investigation for rape. Quite rightly he has not been named because he has not been charged but it is widely believed that he is selected to play every week. That is at odds with the way you are portraying what could easily happen 'to any of us'.
What is more worrying is that this footballer has been on bail, NOT charged for something like18 months. The lazy incompetent met cops should not be allowed to do that to a person. What possible evidence still needs to be gathered ?
You seem to be struggling to grasp that Anthony is playing for a totally dysfunctional club. They have made this decision based purely on money and possible negative publicity. I doubt any other club would.

Has Antony been charged with anything?

The player on bail hasn’t been named as he hasn’t been charged yet.

I haven’t forgotten Antony plays for a totally dysfunctional club. it’s why I‘m suggesting they’ve fucked up when it comes to dealing with this.

Your last two sentences make my point for me. Thanks.

I think he said the way they run Utd is the problem and it’s not Ten Hag. That’s right. If you look at it, I wouldn’t say The Sheikh does much of the day to day running with of our club, he owns it, but leaves it to those he trusts and they do and have done a superb job with running the club. The Glazers will leave it to others to run utd but whoever they are, are making a town halls of it.

The Glazres have appointed two CEOs, both accountants with no football background. Remember Woodentop saying that there was no connection between performance on the field and commercial income? Or the current one, when City were far outperforming them financially, he said: “You’ll never be bigger than us in Asia” Laughable.

The mud was already flying due to accusers using social media and the fact complaints that had been made were public

Quite the opposite.
When I worked in Manchester any allegation against a teacher resulted in an immediate suspension on full pay whether or not there was police involvement.
The a LEA maintained this was a judgement free action to protect all parties.

Indeed. If players were suspended because some people on social media wrote up some stuff accusing them of this or that, most players would be on gardening leave.

The rags have thrown Antony under a bus here, unless they’ve seen what is coming.
