As per Beefy yesterday... some victims suing Saints and Peterborough.
Saints found out and reported it to the police. Despite police not pinning anything on him he was removed from the club. Not too sure what more Saints could have done?

They have a duty of care and must ensure their employees are law abiding - as soon as we found out Bob Higgins wasn't we took action.
 
Didn't know that one of the victims sadly passed away in a car accident in January this year.

I don't know know the exact nature of the allegations so hard to comment really.

I find it hard to believe that it wasn't brought up at least once to any senior management in a quarter of century though.
 
Hopefully, the BBC will give up their obsession with this case now (only eleven articles today).
 
Thanks for posting that. Awful situation and I hope Radford and any others get full support with whatever they need to deal with this.

I'd forgotten I had posted it tbh, surprised there hadn't been a comment until yours.

And yeah it really is tragic :(


Big respect to Dave Merrington as well, took a stand it appears when all too many were happy to sweep it under the carpet. Who knows how much longer it would have gone on for had he not done that.

Yes, ultimately his raising it made Higgins leave.
