That would have to mean that the recording was fake then, surely? And I don't think anyone could fairly assume that based on the content. Maybe I'm missing other alternatives...
That's up to fans of the other clubs, not us. All I know is that I'd have a hard time explaining to my daughters why I'm wearing a United shirt if Mason was on the pitch. His second chance isn't dependent on playing for United.
It seems like you'll want to edit this post, cause everyone is reading it as if you're blaming cancel culture for what's happened to Greenwood...
I don’t believe that distinction needed be made since they are by your own admission the decision makers at the club.
I clarified above mate, that came across as an attack but I didn't mean it that way.
I'm going to answer you even if your answer don't deserve it.
Of course we don't accept it.
Quite pathetic to be worried here about the life of a pro footballer who is going to get a multi million dollar contract elsewhere.
Such as?
Maybe I have less faith in humanity, but I feel like if he played for us this season and scored a big goal or two against a Liverpool or City, most football fans are fickle enough that their disagreements with him being in the team would end.
See how it goes I suppose. Extremely silly to have dragged it out this long if it's going to end up with him going on loan. Didn't Juve want him a few months ago or whenever it was?
This is true. It is also true that MG has grown up in a very different set of circumstances that many of us will never experience, where money, power, fame, success all can have twisting influences on people.
What forum is that from?
it is a difficult for the club. What should they do then? Take him back and say it doesn’t matter our players rape women and beat women? The evidence of what he did is so clear. Should our club say that it doesn’t matter you treat women that way?
It's up for any other future employer to decide what they feel is acceptable. I am extremely pleased* that the football club I support has decided that what he has done that is publically available is not conducive of someone they wish to provide a huge platform to.
No, it’s morally ok to keep Greenwood, because you know LESS than the CPS & United, and both of which had insufficient evidence to prove the wild (and clearly misleading) allegations.
Speaking of nut jobs, weren't you leaving?
Not sure about that as it seems he can negotiate his own future.
As soon as you use language like this, you've already lost the argument.
Probably not, but you'd have even more people defending him than are defending Greenwood.
Not sure you can assert its clearly misleading
Those clubs won't touch him for the same reasons as United.
I did completely forget about that.
They took a decision they didn’t want due to external influences.
A brain fart of epic proportions.
This is what I believe. If you do not think he is guilty, then you should stick by your principles. Why take 7 months and waste all that time, to just come to that conclusion. It is a cop out. I would have liked him to stay and the club to take the slow rehabilitation process or make a more definitive decision much earlier.
Remains to be seen - he's still 21.
They chucked them into a river. if they drowned, they were innocent, but if they survived, it must be witchcraft... so they were burnt at the stake.
Good point. But that won't stop people speculating like they were instant experts on every aspect of this sorry saga.
what with ? United is broke, certainly don't have 100m to replace Greenwood. This club is heading to the rocks.
I mentioned this yesterday, it’s clear that they didn’t plan for worst case scenario
But he's not. Sucks to suck but that's how life is for the not rich enough and not powerful enough. If this had happened a decade later with multiple ballon d'ors and a host of defense lawyers at the ready to gag order the info before anything comes out, perhaps there's a different outcome.
And this was my point. I don't disagree with @Pexbo 's take at all, I was just making the point that the only other side is that. It's the only other plausible explanation. Either he is guilty or she lied.
I got as far as this before I had to start typing a reply; the "mob" didn't charge Mason. The police force and legal system (thanks for telling me about those, I assumed it was fecking garden gnomes who handled this stuff before you told me) were the ones who charged Mason.
I agree with this take on the whole situation.
They have Alvarez, even as a joke it doesn't make sense.He is most definitely not going to be playing for City. They fecked Mendy off to outer space within a week of his scandal
