And where precisely did I say this? I will not pretend that it's the same thing for me - as I find assaulting women a bit more disgusting than assaulting men, especially if you're a man yourself - but I never claimed that assaulting a man would be "fine".
Nicky Butt arrested | Feb 2020: Assault charge dropped
- Thread starter Tarrou
- Start date
No
If Butt is found guilty, he should be sacked.
Speak for yourself.
Well I haven't - I don't even know Mrs Butt.lewwoo said:
More seriously though, NB should absolutely be fired if guilty.
One way to throw away your career
Don't condone it at all but why should he be sacked? Fergies son was also charged, but it didn't affect his managerial career.
What else happened?
Depends what he’s done, for me.
Why do you even ask this?
ffs
Do you want a wife beater to be associated to our club?
Because I want to know why there are different standards.
Yeh wait and see what has happened. Could just be a bit of drunken handbags that got reported?
If he is convicted, he should go.
EDIT:
But if the Saudis take over, all will be forgiven.
..after all they are murderers.

I’m sure the situation with the butts will soon BLOW over...
... but seriously, how awful
... but seriously, how awful
Suspension till final decision given he's been charged imo will be the course of action the club will take.
Looks like his career has hit the skids.
he will get a promotion
Different standards for who?
Footballers, or athletes in general. It's rare for someone to get sacked for a dv charge.
Let's be honest, you have a statue of one outside the ground.
On field and off field behaviour is often clearly separated by clubs, rightly so in my mind.
Sounds like he triedCan't beat that can you?
We’ve already had a few.
I’d question what legal grounds the club can fire someone for, that involves their private relationship.

A cut to her hand and a broken phone.
While domestic cases are horrible - this doesn't like he's beaten the shit out of her, or even punched her. That would completely change things.
I'm sure EVERYBODY reading this has been in an arguement in 1 instance or another. We will never know the full details, but he doesn't deserve to lose his job over that.

We bought Rojo whilst he was being sued in Argentina for hitting someone in the head with a glass bottle. You can potentially kill someone like that, yet the guy is still here so I don't expect Butt to be fired.
If it is as reported, he will get away with it I think.
Club wont do anything.

Different era, different quality + the British have a weakness towards alcoholics. I've noticed that myself while in the UK which involved a neighbour. I was shocked by the police attitude that night

Beat me to it.
Well, that's one way to destroy your legacy.
Sack with immediate effect.

What did he do? Apart from breaking an iphone and talking crap? Didn't fallow the story so genuine question. Serious case or nonsense?

No football club wants to be associated with a wife-beater.
He will get sacked and deservedly so.
You can't sack someone for being charged with something. If he is found guilty, you'd think he'll have to go.
He's allegedly hurt his wife which is a criminal offense. That wouldn't have costed Sir Alex his job. He was too valuable for the club. However Butt is the least of the class of 92. He's currently doing a job that is largely cerimonial. We can easily replace him with Fletcher, Scholes or even Evra and no one would notice the difference
Innocent until proven guilty by the press.
Ceremonial?
You're probably right, he hasn't been found guilty as of yet, but the fact they found enough evidence to charge him is worrying enough. Something untoward took place, that's for sure.
The Co92 and their antics, literally the only one of them to be seen in a positive light these days is Phil Neville. And he was a bit shite.
