    Because football is a sport and teaching isn't. The degree of responsibility is massively different within education, so if we **** up it costs us, the victims and the community far more, the impact is much further reaching. Footballers don't have anything tangible riding on the outcome of their actions save for sport, which is a leisure activity. I mean if at 19 you're being paid over £5m a year, you could retire the next and just live comfortably, **** up or not.

    Great. Then our salaries should be swapped then. Until they are swapped, I think footballers should be banned from the professional game for life after committing a serious offence. And for the ones who weren’t convicted but substantial evidence exists of them being pieces of ****, I would hope the court of public opinion prevails and clubs wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot pole.

    Apparently, fixtures are out on Tuesday...Seems a bit early to me.....unless these are the PL fixtures.

    EDIT.....Just checked City's fixtures are out on 26th June at 9am.

    The court of public opinion in a cultural industry will always affect a players value/career.

    But the punitive element of a sentence is defined by a court and always should be.

    I think he's on about the fact that Walter hasn't joined midway through the season and we got rid of lots of deadwood so he can really put his stamp on the team.

    He will have a quota to fill everyday, so he will rehash **** up just to fill a few column inches or webpage.

    It is going to be very quiet for a while, as I expect our signings to be completed once the new FFP window or whatever it is called in the EFL opens on 1st July.

    Basically an article about nothing. The "golden opportunity" is the fact we have a thin squad so the new gaffer can put his stamp on the squad immediately.

    Orange never has anything even remotely negative to say about the ownership

    What part of 'an article about nothing' don't you understand?

    If you'd actually read the article before commenting you'd know where the words "golden opportunity" came from and it's certainly not from me.

    And there's plenty on here from me criticising the churn of players every window under the current ownership.

    Stop trying to spin a neutral position as something it's not. Are you really that desperate for an echo chamber?

    You really are obsessed.
