Brave of Harriet Robson to seek help the way she did, she must have been very desperate.
Fucking hell, they are just kids…

Much like Mendy, I guess we can't do anything about Greenwood until a trial takes place. Not a hope he'll ever play top level football again if the allegations are true.
Those pictures were nauseating to look at. Not listening to the audio. Read a description of it and I think it would just upset me.

Porto has announced that the deal is official and they will receive 45M with a possible extra 15M on objectives.
They also announced that they will pay the 10% of agent fees and the solidarity payments. Add to that the 20% that Diaz's former club still had and Porto ends up with around 29.6M€ from the deal.
The Telegraph claims that Porto asked to receive 8M€ until Monday, Record (not the most reliable source though) says that Porto asked UEFA for more time to pay their debts but UEFA refused.
Porto and Sporting have to present proof to UEFA tomorrow that they don't have any debts that have gone pass the agreed payment date.
Sporting's debt was regarding a payment to Sampdoria that the club has said that was already paid this month and has the paperwork to prove it

By Feorax Go To PostThink there will need to be some soul searching done at United over the coming months. Between re-signing rapey-Ron, giving Giggs VIP treatment whilst awaiting trial and now this, doesn’t exactly scream “safe environment for women”.
None of that soul searching will be done, unfortunately. Look at Mendy continuing to play for City, or the social media engagement with Ronaldo and even today the posts like the one you showed us earlier. The reckoning won’t come because money talks too much. It’s horrifying.
It’s weird, when the news about Spurs’ interest first came about, all the responses were that Porto would never sell the leagues best player in January, especially not for the prices being talked about. What made them actually go through with it?
Dan Burn is a great buy
That guy was towering player when we played against Brighton this season.
Yeah, but we have less incriminating stories in football considering how many football players there have been over the years

By LFMartins86 Go To PostI finally get to watch my boi play football.
KuluseViking, Bentancur, and strong rumours we’re trying for O. Dembele. It’s Fabio Paratici’s island of misfit toys.
Good thing we’ve solved our key worry positions of an attacking right back, creative midfielder, striker, and left sided CB. Great job Fabio

RE: Greenwood
Looking back I do remember there being rumours about him swirling when Benjamin Mendy was first arrested. Also this: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/premier-league-footballer-arrested-rape-false-imprisonment-b1722271.html
Kind of makes you wonder if the club knew anything before today.

Is Lampard even confirmed as Everton manager yet?
By Perfect Blue Go To PostRE: GreenwoodThey absolutely heard the rumours. Much like City knew about Mendys questioning and arrest yet did nothing about it.

What made them actually go through with it?Rumours in Portugal is that financial situation is dire, they were/are under severe risk of getting a 3 year ban from UEFA.
Besides selling Diaz, they sold Corona for 3M€ and loaned Sérgio Oliveira for 1.5M€ with a buy clause of 15M€ (some of their best paid players).
They got Steven Eustáquio on loan and Rúben Semedo is also apparently coming in on loan.

Wouldn't be suprised if the clubs are aware of these issue but don't take action until its public. There will always be some things the clubs aren't aware of, but like N8 said its all about money for the business.
Nike have also made a statement on the issue and I fully expect both club and sponsors to terminate contracts.
By Killer7 Go To PostRumours of Dean Henderson to Newcastle too
Nowt in it
Edit: well, in terms of it actually happening i should say
This is the best Starmer could come up with as well. 10 years after David Cameron officially apologised for British state violence on Bloody Sunday and you have politicians still refusing to address the subject and directly reference what actually happened. Just by reading this tweet you wouldn't know what he's talking about.

This isn't really the thread for it, but I don't think i'd expect a politician who is trying to win power to go after the army due to the country's raging...RAGING hard on for it. That wouldn't really be considered a smart move.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostBilly Sharp became the Championship's leading goal scorer of all time.
Here is the full list: https://www.transfermarkt.us/championship/ewigetorschuetzen/wettbewerb/GB2. It's a collection of mostly players who were never able to make that step up to the Premier League:
Kevin Phillips minutes per goal, sensational considering he was still playing in that league when he was like 40.

That wouldn't really be considered a smart move.I get that. The issue though is that these were also British citizens who were murdered by their own army. It's not just the Ireland/NI/Britain question. Reconciliation will never occur if this matter isn't properly addressed.

I woudn't expect it to be properly addressed any time soon then, politicians at the very top just aren't going to publically accuse the army of war crimes.
The country just isn't there, look at all the Captain Tom shit from last year, the OTT poppy bollocks every single year. The country has a ridiclous view of war and the army, until that changes (you're talking a LONG time, if ever) you just won't get the open honest discourse the matter deserves. It just isn't going to happen.
If it ever makes political sense to do it, it'll happen. As unjust as that is, of course.

Don't think the Troubles will ever become a big issue over here tbh. It's brushed over in school, so I doubt there will ever be the introspection needed for it to become a real focus in our politics except for when it's convenient.
Maybe it'll change when the people directly involved and oddly proud of it die out, but it could go either way in that event.

Been reading some truly terrible opinions online about Greenwood. I'm going to discount the obvious trolls saying that Harriet Robson is lying. They're just looking for a reaction.
The worst ones are the people saying how disappointed they are that Greenwoods transgressions has disrupted the team and stalled United's rebuild. It's utterly selfish to only confine it to those parameters. He beat up and threatened to rape his partner. Thoughts about what this does for United's league position should be utterly irrelevant.
I get being upset and disappointed. We as fans invested a lot of hope into him being the next big thing. He certainly has the talent and potential to be world class. But there's something wrong with you if all you can think about now is Uniteds prospects for this season.

The truth will come out and state papers released long after it is too long for those involved to either face prosecution or the families feel true vindication.
Schooling is an interesting point. I’m not au fait with your curriculum but the feeling that I get is there is very little that is taught that would paint Britain in a bad light. 1066, Henry VIII and 1914-1918 + 1939-1945 I’d imagine are the main topics.

South Shields yeah, it's just like 5/10 min north of Sunderland. He's been desperate to get our job since we got relegated to L1 lmao. Decent coach apparently, not sure he's got the mentality for a management job.
Should get them promoted, they are very well funded for the level. Very well.
