I can see Greenwood ending up in the Saudi Pro League, misogyny and poor treatment of women is almost compulsory out there.
Glyn1 said:I'm conflicted about this. He's been with them since he was a kid, he's still a kid, and they still have a duty of care to look after him. I'm not defending him for what he's supposed to have done but this feels wrong to me. I could be wrong.
Andrew - North Hill said:It's interesting how it's become perfectly normalised in recent years for rumour and hearsay to stall careers, like a certain former #10 of ours who was in a very similar situation to Greenwood's e.g. no charges were pressed in the end. Oh, and same can be said for a certain former Wales manager as well. There's something about this culture that leaves me feeling really uncomfortable.
In the old days, before trial by social media seemingly became a replacement for the Crown Court, you either went to court and got found guilty, or you were free to get on with your life. No longer, it seems.
Weird old world.
(Before the inevitable flood of replies telling me that some of the above are not very nice people, I realise this. But there are a lot of other very unpleasant people out there too. It still doesn't make them criminals).
J_B said:Trundle's situation was completely different. It was a malicious accusation that was admitted and subsequently withdrawn.
BrynCartwright said:I've seen the images on line that show bruises and bleeding, and but at the end if the day, all charges have been dropped...he is technically an innocent individual, and just find Utd's decision pathetic. If the evidence was irrefutable then lock up him up, but he is a free man...some team will be getting a bargain....would be more than happy for him to play for us...
