Those same recordings were not deemed significant enough to take the case to court.
This was because key witnesses pulled out, and unspecified 'new evidence came to light'. The CPS' primary remit is not establishing innocence or guilt, it's ensuring a case is prosecutable.
Besides, we are not contingent on 'court'. That is still Mason Greenwood on those recordings threatening his partner with sexual violence.
There is no mitigation for that. The player has got to go.
Nah, grown men who beat women and threaten to rape them can stay away from the club for life cheers.
He blew his shot to play for his childhood club by being a nasty, nasty little scrote and can go and "learn his lessons" elsewhere.
Quite.
The idea Greenwood is the victim of a 'witch-hunt' is absolutely pathetic and predictably ignorant.
Also, there were calls for whatever we sell him for to go to charity....I would like to see a PR constructed to bring him back and then see what he is like?
United's finances include a 1.25 billion investment for a quarter of the club, followed by other investments to do up the stadium. Financial opportunities are lucrative and abound at United.
If the finances are precarious, why waste thousands on 'constructing PR' for abusers like Greenwood when we could just get on cultivating staff who don't threaten their partners with rape when sex isn't forthcoming.
I'd imagine the investors and advertisers (we need them for money) would be risk adverse, too, so why all this risk for one player who has never won a trophy with us, and, again, threatens people with rape.
