Errrm, why? Pogba has not got a captain's bone in his body. Been there, done that, it failed.
Failed when?under Mourinho? Everything that took place under his management must be considered null and void.
Forgive me if I feel very secure in handing the captaincy to a player that was clearly the leader of World Cup winning side...versus player that has been here for a year coming from ?Leicester. Brawling while on vacation. Souness and them would be on Paul right now all day every day had it been him in Greece.

Had my high school graduation trip in Greece. On two separate occassion we had run in with Albanian gangster and on both accounts locals stepped in to calm things down. Both times they were being aggressive with some girls and lads stepped inbetween. Maguire's case rings bells for me at least.
Give Pogba your account details. He should take over your username. It's time.

Pogba is Michaelangelo. Maguire is Leonardo.

Maguire is rightly the captain. Ole explains below.

Don't the Greek authorities realise how bad this makes them look? They're coming across like some third world kangaroo court.

Whatever the verdict i hope he tells them to do one and to try pursuing their claim in an actual court in the UK.

I suspect some people in high places will be watching the media reaction with horror, would not be surprised to see this case disappear before concluding

Are you serious with that Video from JANUARY 17th? Injured Paul (Mino public enemy#1), Bruno was not even signed, COVID "was only in China" ..".."
The World has totally changed and Paul has fully rehabilitated himself.
Paul is a true Red, the leader of a World Cup winning side, make Harry the vice captain

Does all this mean he won't be stripped of captaincy? :(
Yeah, bit of a sickener for the many posters who've waited ages for something bad to happen to one of our own players, just so Bruno could get the captaincy. I feel for them.

At least they'll still have outlets for their uncontrollable rage in the Woodward/ Sancho / transfer tweets/ Rashford threads.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
In court so quick, with no time for his lawyer to read the case report.
Looks very much like a this is the Greek Police wanting to set an example, if found guilty I fear he will get prison time.
It’s been downgraded to a misdemeanour. I don’t think he can get prison time anymore. He’s accused of resisting arrest, pushing an officer and attempted bribery from what I can see. If guilty it’s going to be a fine.

He's back in the UK. To do that they would have to apply to UK courts who would just laugh at them.

They just want money and publicity.


Probably not and the fact it could really hit there tourist industry if people don't feel safe going there.
I can only think this is some ruse to stir up domestic public opinion of them standing up to British lager louts, and they're not interested in how it might hurt them internationally. After all, they can just ask for another bailout.

they would have to deport Harry from the UK, in order to do that a UK court would have to agree an extradition order, which would mean the court would review the proceedings. any whiff if impropriety and i.e. defence not given adequate time to prepare and the Uk Courts will order a retrial in the UK

Probably been mentioned already but the Greek legal system have plenty of previous when it comes to denying just process to foreigners, just think back to the British girl that was gang raped the other year.

The crap about what Maguire allegedly said and the snowflake police officer "injuries" - I expect it is a PR job by the local authorities so that when Maguire returns to the UK they can say look how lenient we were with him.

I suspect Maguire advised to return to the UK as no way he gets extradited

It's possible to be pro-Pogba without being anti-Maguire. They both play for Manchester United.

Maguire is the captain. You can't take it off him on a whim. It'll ruin all the faith Ole has built up in the dressing room as a manager.

The Greeks invented democracy over 200 years ago, Plato would be so proud

I've held off commenting on this before the details came out but fecking hell this went from lads on a piss to human trafficking and police corruption real quick.

A friend of mine went to Greece, got racially abused and got pickpocketed. Place sounds like a real shithole.

If the aggressors were really Albanian gangsters, I won't be surprised the police preferred to arrest Harry rather than them because they fear retribution.
If they were Albanian gangsters then they would want them arrested and deported. Albania is not in the EU so it makes such a thing an easy thing to do. Whatever happens the police wouldn't want to mess up with a celebrity who can bring the spot light on them.

I agree. I sent this for some attention and I believe I have not achieved my goal the way I wanted it too. I am sorry Pexbo :(
Apology accepted, don’t do it again
