All totally irrelevant. I don't want someone likechim associated with United.
And you wouldn't give a toss if he wasn't ok at kicking a ball.

Read that again. Slowly.
If you can't see the difference in scale between robbing a bar of chocolate, and sexual assault, then there is absolutely no point in talking to you.So according to you he’s always going to have this insatiable appetite for sexual violence (allegedly) whenever alone with a person from the opposite sex? The absolute state of your post. You think a teenager must live with decisions they’ve made as a non fully developed human being, for the rest of their lives? No chance for reconciliation or rehabilitation.
No chance for repentance for their sins. Nope. My guess is you think CR7 would force his way onto any woman he was left alone with. I stole a candy bar when I was 14, can I not be trusted in a candy store alone decades later?
Non-apology apology. Meaningless PR spin.
Absolutely. But still not quite "maintaining he did nothing wrong".
Nope. Couldn't care less what he does once it's far away from United. He's a cnut and don't want him near the club.
Yeah, that's fair.
If he did what some have talked about - some kind of grand interview where he actually explains himself, sure.
I'm not against second chances, in fact I'm a great believer in 'em.
As we all know, though, he's said feck all so far.
Not sure why this argument keeps being made as if it were some profound revelation. Why would anyone want a shit footballer to play for us?
The fact that that’s all you gathered from that post is chuckling. And No one was talking to you so why respond in the first place then?
If he was some average youngster everyone would want him out of the club and wouldn't be talking about second chances and all this nonsense.
Hes not even that good anyway.

Correct, because he would be average at football and like all others in the same category, most fans wouldn't want them at United.
Need some kind of words from her to vote yes. So no vote from me.
What could she say though? "those pics were fake"?
Glad to see that at least half this forum realise there is more to life than football.
Well entitled to your opinions. I'm not sure why we can't view who's voted yes or no though - I don't believe in anonymity when it comes to a topic as important as this.

That's the issue isn't it. A statement saying what?
If a statement was made that it was all a big misunderstanding could you imagine the level of hate his partner would be subject to.
The opposite statement of admitting the fact, but that he's changed solves nothing either. It's why I believe there'll never be a statement and he'll be moved abroad in the summer for a cut price fee.
This raises a good point.
For those who vote no, what would it take for you to change your vote to yes ? Specifically, what would any combination of Greenwood or any member of his immediate family have to do for you to accept him back at United ?
again a very easy No
I think we're past the point of no return on that tbh.
At this point the “alleged” victim coming out / making a statement and saying;
- The audio is fake
- The images are fake
- It’s all a big misunderstanding
Short of that I’m not really sure what else. I’ve heard the audio I’ve seen the images and I’ve seen no wider context that can conceivably contextualise it as anything other than attempted rape, coercive controlling behaviour and assault causing actual bodily harm.
"The pics were fake, the audio massively taken out of context. We stayed silent for so long due to following legal advice but we want to put this to bed once and for all and move on".
Blame the lawyers for the delay. Loads of people would accept that I think.
Opinions on what he did would be completely different.
This, but it can't happen so it's over for him here imo.
Bring him back, the shithead
I think the fact it hasn’t happened or something similar hasn’t happened for me speaks volumes.
If she as the partner of Greenwood genuinely believed all this to be a huge misunderstanding with no ounce of truth etc then you can see them putting on a united front against this.
But pot kettle black here she’s a victim, deep down I think most know this and here we are.
Only if Mason's partner says that the whole story/images/video/audio was all legitimately faked.
For multiple reasons, that will never/can not happen.
What we have is the clear audio and the initial accusation from the partner of what he did. Being in the job I am, unfortunately I know many examples of people retracting statements - not based on that it was false, but because they love the person and feel they can change. I hope Mason has - but that doesn't mean we all can just simply forget what he is likely to have done behind closed doors.
So to answer the question - only the highly highly unlikely situation of the partner admitting false accusations and that she's a master of altering audio/videos/photos would lead me to change my view on Mason.
Exactly, which leads me to say that if that did happen and they came out calling it all fake I still don't think I'd be able to believe it with what we were presented with and the amount of time that has passed.
If she faked the images, then her integrity is in tatters. Even worse, it will unfortunately put a horrific taint on those who accuse others of sexual/domestic abuse and have actually experienced it.
Would that not also leave her open to repercussions from the law? Serious question I have no idea.
What if someone else faked them?
I mean we can guarantee at this point she didn’t.
But counterpoint were that the case why allow Greenwood to take the public stick if that was the case and more to the point why would Greenwood who would then be the victim in this scenario actively pursue her?
Makes no sense and so not a sensible line of inquiry.
Out of curiosity, what would be your red line for not having him return ? As in, what is the specific piece of evidence or admission that would sway you in the opposite direction ?
Along with the video? Highly, highly improbable.
If someone else did fake them, it would have been an easy thing to prove that it was. Post the original photos of the partner without all the injuries.
She could have quite quickly called bullshit on the whole situation if they were fake - given it wouldn't have come from her no?
The more I think about the case, the more it bemuses me how anyone can think that what he did didn't happen.
And posted them from her phone? Unlikely, and where are the originals?
Absolutely. It's a categorical 'no' from me too and would take an explanation that I don't think is either likely or true for me to switch on that.
This post makes no sense and doesn't address any of the points I raised. Your posts are honestly not worth my time so I'll pop you on ignore. Have a good one.
I mean any attempt to explain the pics and audio (other than the obvious) is kinda bollocks at this point. People want him to be innocent so badly though, they'd toe that line.
Well, hypothetically, he might've forgiven her for faking the pictures and took the heat himself out of love
Feckin unlikely of courseOh I agree, said as much further up, would be hard to believe anything at this point.
Well, there's that too.
And, like I've said before, it is more than possible that United (not least if we get some half competent management in) simply won't consider him worth the risk based on pure ability.
He isn't an absolutely unmissable player, is he?
Probably better than Antony ain't exactly a grand compliment.
Yep, he'll soon be forgotten about once we fill his position with quality.
