    ok, but if the club had sacked Johnson on the evidence provided, couldnt that have been seen to affect the outcome of the trial ? especially in such a public case.
    The club sacked him, they explain why > conclusion: evidence much show he is guilty, otherwise why do the club sack him

    What choice did Byrne have ? Sack Johnson and potentially influence the trial or let him continue playing and then get the media **** storm afterwards. seems like a choice between a rock and a hard place to me.

    especially since he told the club he would plead no guilty to all accounts

    Mate, she's an expert on criminal law and had copies of text messages and a confession that he'd kissed the girl.

    Are you seriously suggesting that this woman didn't think he had committed that crime? She even referred him to the mega nonce-defender Orlando Pownall!

    She was fully prepared to assist in a cover up, should AJ go with a not-guilty plea, his change of plea forced her hand.

    She should be absolutely ripped to shreds for her part in this farce, she's shown herself to be a disgusting human being with absolutely no conscience.

    That's my view.

    Very good legal explanation explaining legal issues - but re duty of care it was d o c for the employer (ie the club) to enforce not the CEO so that would point to the boardroom and ES
    I think the press will dig up more unwelcome info - I can't believe no one else at club knew .
    In fact AJ brought much infamy / focus on our club but MB by her actions has created a larger and darker cloud imo

    ****************SITUATIONS VACANT*********************

    wanted. CEO for Sunderland Football Club. No experience necessary but being related to a pal of the owner would be an advantage.


    No Ellis. Please, no. :emoticon-0106-cryin

    Nothing in the papers since she resigned so they will be happy and moved on to another victim.

    But have you lot not picked up that Billy Bonehead has not been on lately so I reckon he is on a meet up with Maggie and the rest of you won't get a look in.

    All joking aside, (I can be serious from time to time),
    there was a major article in The Mirror about her today. They claim that she employed PDC without the rest of the board being informed.
    I find this hard to believe tbh.

    The Mirror ? anything to sell papers

    Still calling johnson a peadophile for shock value even though that is usually only used for people who like pre-pubescent kids

    That`s a bit weird mate. Not telling the board about PDC. Not telling the board about Johnson. Sounds very secretive.

    I`m with you Billy. Don`t see how she could make a decision like that without the boards approval. Doesn`t ring true.

    Her's me thinking she carried the can over the AJ business, which I think she did not deserve given the conflict between the employment and incident laws. But if she had really done the PDC bit I would have burned her at the stake.

    Looking back at Billy`s post. Agree with him. Don`t see how she could have done that on her own. She must have had the boards approval.

    As far as AJ is concerned she may have thought she`d fulfilled her legal obligations by ensuring he had no contact with minors. That`s the only thing I can find in her favour tbh. Everything else is a shambles.
