I was encouraged by the debut from the Brighton guy, if he keeps turning in displays like that he will soon be dropped for any of the other 36 players that they have that also play in that position.

Results orientated thinking much?

On top of that, not sure how you can even remotely begin to include games even 8 games ago as relevant for this club let alone 31 lol.

Did you watch last week or this?

They seemed to suffer when the goal scorer went off and they replaced him with the Ukrainian that cost more than any player their opposition has ever signed.

One game and only twenty minutes in but I'm confident in saying that Brighton have fleeced Chelsea once again

Also, I did watch the first two games and nothing really stands out to me in Particular to indicate they are doing “fine.” Unless your standards are 7th place.

Connor Gallagher seems to want to be the top knot Dennis Wise. I'm not sure why anyone would want to be that.

What is misleading is reading the wikipedia summary of the case and basing your argument on that, rather than listening to the podcast.

The podcast where she claims otherwise? lol?

If she had a leg to stand on why was her case dismissed twice?

Greenwood gone from Man Utd.
Good decision by the PR department

Credit to everyone who spoke out against this, because it’s pretty clear United tried their absolute best to **** this up as much as they could and in the end made what should have been an easy decision as hard on themselves as they could. No credit to them whatsoever.

Obviously it’s by ‘mutual agreement’. In other words, he got paid off.

Odds on which country he ends up in? My guess is Turkey

If you had bothered to listen to the podcast, you would know that it does not exonerate her for her part in the incident.

Anyway, the point (that you have missed completely) is she had her life ruined by a social media clip that represented only a small part of the incident that took place.

He's not gone yet though. They haven't terminated his contract, they're looking to sell him or loan him out.

So it appears. The initial report didn’t say that. It now says that he remains on full pay.

Right decision in the end but it's pretty obvious that there was no real internal investigation but rather 6 months spent gaming out his return. Absolutely zero credit is due for anyone in a position of power at United.

This is now at least three u-turns due to fan opposition in ~2 years for this shambles of a leadership.

Thank god he's gone or going, though it could have been far more decisive by the club.

Given he hasn't been found guilty of anything I'm guessing he has all the power here? They can't sack him after releasing a statement saying they didn't think he was guilty of the accusation so he can sit tight getting his full contract now. Pretty ****ed up when you think about it.

They will almost certainly have to pay someone to take him off their hands, you'd have to be a moron to pay anything like his market value with the spot Utd are now in.

If I was a season ticket holder at Prison FC, I’d be livid about how the pre-season went. Two top signings slipped though their fingers in a matter of weeks.
