Asked completely without prejudice, but theoretically, would you have him play for town? It’s not equitable to the Ched Evans thing either as he was convicted.
Ched Evans has his conviction quashed by the Court of Appeal and I believe that the CPS didn’t seek a retrial. I’m not aware of any ‘evidence’ against him like that in the public domain about Greenwood. As far as I’m concerned Evans is as innocent as any of us. I’d have Evans in our side in a millisecond. Greenwood on the other hand I wouldn’t touch with a shitty stick - remember the incident involving Foden when he was away with England and then his arrest. He’s too arrogant for my liking.

Hope you boycotted whilst Terrell Forbes and Clayton McDonald were with us otherwise that would be a bit awkward.
To be clear I think he’s scum but we all seem to forget our moral indignation when it suits.
That’s just whataboutery. Clayton McDonald wasn’t found to do a great deal wrong, if memory serves. He was acquitted at the original trial, the court having deemed he had consensual sex girl in question. Forbes was an interesting one, in so much that he was found not guilty of rape but did admit to having sex with the girl in question, who was aged 15 at the time (Forbes having been 21). Am I comfortable with that? No. However, I would only have been in my teens myself at the time of that case, wasn’t yet a father, and was busy doing stuff other than following the details of a trial involving a player we had on loan. I didn’t like what I saw and heard Greenwood doing, and I wouldn’t want him at the club. It’s no more complicated than that.

I’d go as far to say that this is a classic case of domestic violence and suspect Greenwood will be back to his tricks already, no doubt having his collar felt by PC Dibble in the not too distant future…
Victim feels foolish and talking herself in to thinking she’s in the wrong, only to return to the nightmare…
Her fathers outburst in support of Greenwood was gross at thr time too…

The girlfriend decided she would prefer the lavish lifestyle a Man Utd wag would bring her. Her evidence in the court room was vital she’s clearly told them she won’t comply hence the cps not wanting to waste money on a sham trial. Money makes the world go round like it or not and he’s not the first high profiler to run free when he’s quite clearly guilty as fook , that voice note was pretty damming.

He never would but the day Greenwood appeared in a town shirt is the day my support for the club would end.
I’m not a father yet, but if any man spoke to my daughter the way MG did in the voicenotes, i’d not hold back until he was punished in every possible way.

This is pretty much why I asked the question.

Or perhaps she's just scared of him and what he might do if she gives evidence/leaves him? Let's not victim-shame this girl when we don't know the context. I wasn't interested in listening to the recording or viewing any images when this first came to light, but there's little doubt from what I've read that he's an evil little fornicator. Wouldn't put much past him.

He’s a little scroat from Bradford not Sicily I’d wager it’s all about the money like it normally is. She released enough evidence for a conviction of some sort but with out her backing it up it’s not worth shitt and that coupled with what her father said again it all just points to money.

So, perhaps she's scared of her father as well as her partner? Abused people often end up in abusive relationships.
As I've seen within my own extended family (in-laws) in recent years, coercive control is something which occurs behind closed doors even to the nicest, kindest people you could ever hope to meet. You don't need to be a mafioso to be an evil fornicator and your blase assumption that this girl just in it for the money is pretty appalling, in my view.
Hopefully, she'll get out of it intact in due course, whether with money or not.

Aye, getting paid to sit on your arris, free tokens for the cafe for lunch and free bus travel.
I'd do it for a living.
That was my take on the whole thing. The case itself was fascinating but the majority of time was spent sitting quietly while proceedings stop every 30 seconds to discuss a point of law. Also funny wigs. .
