Bob Higgins.

Good, but still not enough for him.....hope his cell mates find out what he is in for.

 

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.

 

Unfortunately I suspect that he won't die in prison

 

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.

 

He is 66 now so may be he will

 

Maybe but by no means guaranteed. 50-50 maybe.

If he does hopefully he will serve the bulk of his sentence first don't want him getting off lightly

 

Hopefully, the BBC will give up their obsession with this case now (only eleven articles today).

 

You do know criminals convicted of sexual offences are kept separated from everyone else.

 

Otherwise know as Nonce. After watching a programme once about prisons Nonce actually stands for Not on normal courtyard exercise

 

Never knew that ta

 

Not on normal courtyard exercise was chalked on a prisoners door. Nonce can also mean Not of normal criminal element in prison

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.
