Moreso because you don't actually have an answer to some logic, over being warned, right?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Sure.
Good for Mendy. So much for the idea he'd struggle to find a club. That took days.
Probably his level going by his pre-court case form.
Did not expect a return so quickly - I assume this move had been lined up already
Especially when you compare the silence on Greenwood and Sigurdsson
I imagine some of the ideas he might struggle to find a club were either about finding a club similar to the level he'd been at before - which he hasn't, he's dropped down to a small, mid table French club. And about the possible tabloid / social media reaction if he signed for a club in Britain or a big European club. I guess a move to a mid table French team like Lorient is a comparatively low key return to the game.
If he has a good season with them I can see him moving to a bigger club next summer. He just turned 29 so he's still potentially got at least a few years left at the top level.
Sue everyone
True.
If, like you say, he has a good season there, and proves he can still perform to a good level, then I can certainly see bigger clubs than Lorient looking at him. And it would be less of a PR gamble once he's already been back playing for a year.
Amen.
It is kinda crazy the today's pop science that is mentioned as some authority. The 'research' (deliberately put in quotes by me) is actually a low-impact journal paper by some authors in 2010. The four authors got a hundred something cases done in some university, read the reports, chat a bit with the police, and decided to score each case as 'false report', 'case did not proceed', 'case proceeded', and 'insufficient information'. I repeat myself: they decided to score every one of those cases. Them, the researchers, made up statistics to prove whatever they wanted in their thesis.
The universally reported 2-10% is essentially what these 4 authors decided to score as 'false report'. If there ever was a study that made statistics out of authors arse, it was this study. Yet somehow this is mentioned as the ultimate authority on what is the percentage of false allegations.
Anyone does not believe me? Here is the mentioned paper: https://web.archive.org/web/2018010...gov/conference/handouts/False-Allegations.pdf Pages 11-13 describe the results and methodology.
The truth is (and I hate this expression): we have no fecking idea on the percentage of false allegations. Proving a false allegations is as hard as proving a rape. It could be 5% or 10% or 50% or 1% and we really do not know even the ballpark of the number.
Thats extremely disingenuos though, being a rapist and being officially accused of rape are pretty much the same thing. A more honest, good faithed way of saying it following your already flawed logic would be to say "hes been accused of rape in the past but found not guilty". Thats completely different.
Still unecessary and you are just bringing hurtful damaging toxic drama to a person IMO. Im more of the mentality that since he was found not guilty, bury that situation 6 feet under and simply dont bring it up again out of context, let that person move on with their life.
Lorient have a player called "Innocent"
