Brandon Williams: What happened to ex-Manchester United player?

How did Brandon Williams go from Manchester United player to the verge of prison?

www.bbc.co.uk

How many non sportsmen who did this would have been spared a jail term?

All said and done however he is a full back who pushed out Luke Shaw at United and by all accounts is still remembered fondly by fans of the teams he played for. Not quite at the same level as someone who got done stealing from handbags at a night club like our Nathan and how much truth there is to the mitigation of a player with too much fame and too much money combined with having the wrong kind of "friends" around him and being forcibly isolated from any support network to keep him grounded only he really knows.

Would you give a player like this another chance?
Would he get a chance in the Premier League or would the Championship realistically be the best level he can hope for right now?

He deserves another chance, however he needs to build trust with whoever gives him that chance. I hope he gets an opportunity but not with a massive salary, it's needs to be heavily incentive laden.

Also any contract needs exit clauses that enable the club to ditch him (without having to pay him off) should he transgress again.

He looked like he was going to go far when he first burst on the scene.

I think most football contracts include clauses to break them unilaterally if a player goes to prison. Any failure to keep his nose clean for the next two years and thats exactly where he goes.

I wonder how many clubs will approach him to give him an opportunity if he wants it

We should give him a trial

What for impersonating a footballer... Oh, not that kind of trial.
