Will be carnage ... protests off and on the pitch ... he needs to go abroad ... Afghanistan would likely suit best ...![]()
It's the sexual assault/rape that makes this a little different but I think you're right, nobody gives a **** anymore and it's more important to rant online then actually do something about anything.There won’t be any on the pitch and off the pitch it will be minimal. Over 12m people have viewed the official story on Twitter (X) and only 8,000 comments on the story, with about a 50/50 split on supporting/condemning the decision.
Paul Gascoigne admitted to beating his wife for two years in 1994, and the entire country cheered him on during Euro 96. Maybe times have changed since then but football fans fast forget things in general.
There will be social media backlash, and a minority of fans will turn on the club either temporarily or forever, but money talks in football and the Glazers see him as a valuable asset.
Maybe a new owner will decide to get rid but the Glazers will see this as an opportunity to save £100m on another forward.

Great post, spot on.He’s not kicked a ball in almost two years, if he doesn’t get back to his previous levels in training he could be finished and it will be an even bigger disaster for the club. For that alone it’s not worth the hassle.
He needs cut loose, he’s in no position to legally challenge any decision the club makes, so just bin and move on. It’s tough on the existing players as well, wtf are they supposed to do? They’ll get tarnished by association every time one of them shares a pitch with him.
Money though innit - you can buy morals nowadays.

Think you are underestimating it ... just look at the David 'Notso' Goodwillie case ...bloke is now a football pariah on these shores despite no criminal conviction and always having maintained his 'innocence' ... but only time will tell, Tel...

City without KdB and Gundogan look a bit toothless.
