Gave her money, said he loved her, it was a horrible mistake, he’s ashamed and promised her the world and she sadly seems to have fallen for it. Wouldn’t be surprised if her old man was in her ear hole too. He seemed to care more about money than his daughter.
I'm pretty sure they can, just like they got rid of Ronaldo. You don't need to have committed a crime to have your contract terminated.
I understand your sentiment but I think you are taking a rather blinkered view. The key here is that legal proceedings have been dropped and this will not have been done lightly. I have a colleague whose son went through 31/2 years of a shadow cast against him by what was considered by a judge to be a malicious and spurious rape charge which the CPS persisted with until the first day in court when the judge threw it out. I agree we should not be placing any obstacles to victims be they male or female, coming forward after being assaulted or abused but not every case is clear cut. Without the shameful release of the recording (evidence) then we may have a different view on Greenwood's culpability in this matter. The key for me is how he handles himself from now on. I would suggest a degree of contrition and rehabilitation would be appropriate after all he is a very young man who may not have had the best upbringing and had to deal with fame. money and adulation at the age of 18/19. In that respect I have a degree of sympathy for him. The club are in an invidious position and it's probably best all round that they allow him to leave in the summer.
Thats not how the law works whether we agree or not. It's why we have a judicial system that is the template for most of the world and not the court of public opinion.
Yes, legally he’s innocent, but the harsh reality is, we all know what he has done. You can’t just ignore the recordings because of today. He will bring a toxic atmoshere if he plays and things are looking up for Utd. It would be a shame to bring the feel good feeling down just for this cretin.
Jeez! From Rob speculating something with zero evidence to support it (I'm not saying it hasn't happened but there's no proof that it has either), you have now formed a judgement on the victims father as if it was fact.
That is what matters. Regardless of whether he has committed a crime or not, he has behaved in a way that brings the club into disrepute. He doesn't get a free pass because the charges are dropped.
Unfortunately you cannot prove that he has. To be clear, I do not believe he is innocent however all we heard//saw is an audio recording and an allegation along with pictures of injuries. You cannot say conclusively that it was Greenwood in that audio recording and the allegation has seemingly been dropped.
I gave my opinion on what I believed however you cannot prove that it's him from just an audio recording without witness testimony from the victim, hence why the charges against him were dropped.
Why the uproar given the bile that is spouted in GD?
I don't venture into GD very often but it was discussed amongst the mod team that we weren't going to allow commentary on live legal cases in the UK, certainly not in the Football Stadium where regularly members ignored requests about what they should or shouldn't be saying on the forum.
I didn't say we are meant to believe that. I was replying to somebody discussing him bringing the club into disrepute (presumably in relation to terminating his contract) - it's very difficult to make that claim stick without a criminal conviction in this instance.
