He is the guy at the end with clear prejudice and bias.
but they mentioned both thgings - why would they do that if it was only the victim withdrawing her statement?
Its the right decision for purely practical reasons. Reintegrating a lad of his age with the negative attention he'd receive in England just wont be practical. And i'd be more confident if he wasnt still with the same woman, means you cant rule out another flare up in 2 years time since theyre obviously not in a healthy relationship. Loan with option to buy seems the right solution if we cant sell immediately.
It is the right decision but now completely baffled by the reasons they are giving for doing it. We are not being told everything.
So if there's no trial but he's presumed innocent before trial what do you think has happened to that presumption? Nothing. Legally he is innocent because he has not been proven to be guilty.
man utd have tied themselves up in knots unnecessarily. should have just said hes gone with immediate effect.
It isn't a opinion, it is a car crash of a post.
Oh well, I'm sure now the club have finally fecking made a decision that'll be the end of it, and we won't have some prat popping up in the match day thread at the weekend bemoaning the lack of the great martyred Mason.
I've been asking the same question for the past week.
Of course, no one has any kind of answer that doesn't implicate one or both in serious wrongdoing.
He’s not guilty of what he was charged with.
They could think he’s guilty of other offences.
United never even spoke to the victim. Really forensic investigation
Greenwood is able to defend himself in public.
I am not blaming her, I am talking about her decision to post it on social media but then not help the police investigation only to then have a baby with the person
No but they definitely drop cases where the only witness for the prosecution will go into it saying the thing you're trying to prove happened didn't happen.
In terms of the way its been handled, it would surely be a resignation matter for Arnold if he had been at another organisation.
At this point the admin should ban all mentions of his name in any other threads.
Let’s do an exercise, as you seem well informed. Tell me first what he was charged with…
That’s just speculation.
read all the statement - they have seen some things which aren't in the public domain. plus the CPS said new material had come to light - again, which we haven't seen but maybe the club has
Good decision in the end.
Great news, feck the little monster.
Hmmm I agree.
Wumminator would be tying the noose on the doorstep of the courthouse at this rate. Judge Judy AND executioner all in one...
I just don’t get how the statement can amount to „we know he’s innocent but we won’t tell anyone why and we’re still getting rid just because.“
Who in their right mind sanctions a press release like that? This is sheer madness.

You don't know what the new material is, could be a different statement etc. No body is going to know what that is.
It was the only possible outcome. The backlash would have been immense.
Sorry, I misspoke:
He was not proven legally guilty.
The problem is I see that the verdict is issued here.
We're getting a 50m credit from UEFA for moral reasons, applicable towards FFP. Don't fret
It’s utterly bizarre
Blame Adam Crafton
I dont think the club had a choice in the end.
Even if the they won the majority of our fans over, he would have got abuse from beginning to end at every other stadium. It would have been unmanagable for him and looked awful for the United brand.
All that aside, what an unbelievable waste of talent.
I hope for his new families sake he gets another chance somewhere else.

Some of the comments here. I hope these people are banned.
But they said both things were the reason for the decision. Why would they do that if it was only the witness refusing to testify?
I mean, I don’t like any of this situation and the club have handled it absolutely shockingly, but that open letter from Arnold specifically states that they have determined he did not do what he was accused of doing.
If there's other evidence that proves he's not guilty of what he was accused of, why would he/the girl/her family/the club/anyone not just come out and say what it is and try to explain the situation? Glad he's gone btw.
They certainly didn't think he was 100% innocent. They specifically said that Mason made mistakes, mistakes that he himself "takes responsibility for".
Nah, they won’t ban @Wumminator dont get excited.
That's my point - but it was enough for the CPS to mention it so it must have a bearing
