Contradiction:Danny East hit two guys, hard (injuring them). He received a conviction (suspended for 12 months) and a Community Service Order. He now has a criminal record. He apologised. Apart from the fact that he's a City player, it didn't involve the club. I doubt that he's a destabilizing influence on the other players.
Jimmy, on the other hand, hasn't committed a criminal offence. His behaviour has a destabilising effect on the club. It certainly seemed to, with regard to Ash once he fell under JB's influence. And the (rumoured) Slovenian hoohah will, no doubt, have taken place with an audience of young (impressionable?) players.
How can you maintain that it doesn't matter what Jimmy does, as it's all off-stage?
