I know some people were desperate for him to return, but they need to use common sense.
The recording is there. The explanations can vary from „part of a longer recording to new evidence to whatever“. But people have heard the recording and those explanations weren’t convincing enough to drop the charges days/weeks/months afterwards, but only over a year afterwards when she got pregnant. The timing alone and the long period the charges weren’t dropped for should tell people a lot.
Then the club are not the law and they have already admitted that obviously they have access to limited information. They also can’t declare Mason guilty when the charges have been dropped. They also don’t want to make life difficult for Mason with potential new clubs. However the club and Mason admitted that Mason made mistakes.
Last but not least people are underestimating the consequences. This is United. Immense media interest and coverage. And according to polls majority of United fans didn’t want his return. He would have been booed at OT every time he would have touched the ball, ongoing protests and media interest, celebrities and organisations tweeting against him and United, United staff resigning, etc. At what point would even his biggest fans feel enough is enough?
And yes it wouldn’t surprise me if he starts playing well again that some high profile club, maybe even Newcastle signs him afterwards and there will be media silence and hardly anything said about it.
But the reality we and he faces at United is as it is.
