"Manchester United FC. After a long consultation with the employee, his family,fans and various domestic violence charities have decided to reintegrate Mason Greenwood into the first team squad. The team coach is happy to welcome him back into our progressive team.

Manchester United FC abhor all forms of abuse, be it mental of physical and will donate £250,000 pounds to Mason Greenwood Domestic Abuse foundation. A new charity that supports women who have suffered in abusive relationships...."

Wasn't Ten Bob the coach at Ajax when allegations about his coaches were being pushed under the carpet or did I imagine it?

You are right it was Claude Van Underlay.

It is a pisstake.

But something I wouldn't put past the scummy bastards.

A massive shag pile allegedly

Got to disagree with you here. For whatever you think about what happened, by law someone is innocent until proven guilty in a court. We can argue about his guilt, but the fact remains within our system as it currently stands, those that prosecute crime don't believe they can prove his guilt. For what its worth, my view is that the system we have that effectively punishes his girlfriend if she proceeds with a complaint is wrong beyond words.

That being said as an employer, United have a duty of care to their contracted employee however distasteful that might be. Now if it was a situation like Lee Hughes I would agree with you.

Every fucker thinks we are guilty .

So Antony the next one then?

Interesting if they fuck greenwood off then it's a precedent set, although in the case of Antony, it'd probably be a blessing for them!

I’ve just finished Ged Duffy‘s book of Stockholm Monsters fame and he covers the United treble season extensively. Hilariously he finishes the chapter with this nugget.

”Both City and Liverpool have had seasons where they’ve won 3 trophies, but no other club has won the 3 biggest trophies in one season. This has never been done before and I guess it will never be done again”

Priceless.

That aged well.
