Whatever the truth may be? So you’d wish him a great career even if you believed him to be guilty?
First of all it’s the CPS, not the police, who decide whether to prosecute or not. And secondly - if the complainant is no longer cooperating, which seems to be what happened here, the chances of getting a conviction drop to pretty much zero, and that would be why the case was discontinued. The CPS cannot justify spending time and money pursuing a case where there is little possibility of success, even if they believe the defendant did it.
have you been to liverpool
And forward as well. 100% sure ETH was expecting him to return to the squad.
They were used in the same way though, particially released to suit a narrative. It's why they should never be made public and to do so before a full criminal investigation should be a crime in itself, considering the damage it can cause.
This is evidently not true. Every single person who has condemned him has based it off personal whim. Not iron clad evidence certified in a court of law by legal experts and qualified investigators. He strictly wont play for a United or in the UK again because the court of public opinion is now more powerful than even the legal system. That is the reality and end of story
I've just mentioned a name. I haven't speculated anything. I could be referring to anything about Thomas Partey.
Do you genuinely think the club will go and buy another attacker now? Zero chance in my view!
Possibly, and if he didn’t do it, she’d have no problem saying that
He didn’t assault her and was absolved by the very system that I presume you benefit from as well if living in a western society.
Eh, the point being commented on was the mistakes Greenwood was supposedly taking responsibility for.
Of course it is!
fecking hell.
Agree with this. Really angry at how stupid he's been. I hope we're more rigorous with our young players and act quickly if we see they are straying off the right track.
Of course they would if their goal is to fix the PR disaster of last week. Creates doubt, confusion and make everything as opaque as possible whether for legal reasons or personnal protection.
Those who think that way wont. They will some how say a Mendy "got off because he had good lawyers'
Fair enough
Its literally astonishing that you can make such assertions against the man so confidently without knowing anything about it. You didn't hear or see the evidence. You saw a tiny fraction of it, without any context for it, and without it being tested. Evidence is useless till tested in court, under the fire of cross-examination. People lie, people mistake things, people say things they later regret and take back without it ever having been true...
Good point. But the right decision has been made given the witchunt.
Um… ok…
Ye it’s so annoying as I think he’d of thrived under ETH and I don’t even think we’d of bought Antony if Greenwood was still here.
Hasn't read the article ^
People just don't want to learn and try to understand.
If they weren't the club would be up in arms against the Athletic. Obviously they were true.
Fans are very fickle. Overmars got a new job very quickly. If Greenwood goes to a top Turkish team for example, scores 30+ goals for a couple of seasons, there will suddenly be a lot of takers willing to overlook the PR issues. It won't happen overnight, but I actually believe United have left the door open by not saying he will have his contract terminated or be sold permanently.
No the club have deemed it can't justify to an employment tribunal that it had reasonable belief that he committed the acts. It makes no determination on if an act was committed or not as that's not in scope. It wasn't a criminal or legal investigation
OK can you help me and confirm what words he could of said after this, which would create a context where this is acceptible? We are all ears.
Yeah I feel exactly the same
Hey mate, for future reference, I don't think the before or after plays much of a factor during an incident of rape. What we've got here is the evidence of the during, why do you think it was recorded in the first place, probably the first time he did this right?
There are no rights for the accused. If the law finds you guilty then you deserve what’s coming and at that point publicly shame them. But many innocent people who have been thru false accusations and tried to clear their name will never get their life back. Again it’s a product of our society and the disease of social media culture.
The club were never going to be specific - what if the full picture was that his partner set him up and later admitted it was all lies? Can you imagine the sh!t storm of hate and abuse she’d receive?
