Rio failed to turn up for a drugs test and was banned, but still was a United legend.
Cantona fly kicked a twat fan, was banned but still came back to be a legend.
Giggs was a legend, but has tarnished that for various reasons, some of which we shouldn't comment on at this point.
Ronaldo serious allegations, but not convicted.
Where do you draw the line on a player continuing to play for us?
We can't comment on current ongoing matters, but no reason we cant have a theoretical debate of similar scenarios or on reflection of cases no longer ongoing.
So a player commits a serious crime, but might get away with it on lack of evidence, but enough suggestions to draw your own conclusions... Player continue or not?
In Ronaldo case it can't be proven beyond reasonable doubt so seems he is allowed reasonable allowances.
There could be a case like Julian Assange where time expiring covers them, but little doubt left.
It does feel like too many allowances are given to superstars generally, e.g. Tyson probably should not be allowed on TV any more given convicted rapist.
