PRL Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I don't think 95% on here have knocked someone unconscious and broke their jaw though. That said, pretty similar to what Carroll did to one of our own and we cheered him and sang songs about it Ranger didn't break the lads jaw. Ah, my mistake. Sure the press had it as that originally? Should have got wireside on the case? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 That's one offence. Ranger's been charged for multiple offences. Very true, my interest was piqued by the hypothetical rather than ranger. I genuinely do think most people have had a scrap at some point in their teens or so when they have technically assaulted someone or committed abh by the very strict definition, or had it happen to them. Seems I'm possibly wrong and for the record this isn't an attempt to be the hardman as it were, I've taken the hiding rather than dished it out!

Mick Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 That's one offence. Ranger's been charged for multiple offences. Barton and his brother were jailed (Bartons brothers was suspended) for what they did so it wasn't even one on to one and Ranger hasn't been found guilty. I'm not trying to defend what he's done and I wouldn't be bothered if the club did sack him, I just think he will have a defence against being sacked. As I said the club would get slaughtered if they decided now to do something with Ranger. Man City were right with the way they handled Tevez and the Mackems got it right with Bramble when they were both suspended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 The number of offenders involved in the act is irrelevant. If the club want rid of Ranger, it'll happen - provided he's found guilty, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Guess we'll just see Ranger suspended then. A couple of weeks should be enough to give him some sort of perspective (probably not though). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 They can't sack him yet whatever they think, he will have to be found guilty for the offences he has been charged with for them to do that, as it stands his only breaking of clubs rules is drinking 48 hours before a game, and he can't be sacked for that.

If the club want rid of Ranger, it'll happen - provided he's found guilty, of course. I think you'll find the bit in bold isn't true. How will the club get rid of him? I think they have two choices other than terminating his contract which would be massively risky and the first is a free transfer and they'd still have to pay him until he finds a club. The other would be to pay up on his contract. They might risk sacking him and hope that they win a case against him although I doubt they'd want to lose at another tribunal.

The number of convictions in relation to Joey Barton's crime has nothing to do with the case against Nile Ranger. Ranger's multiple criminal offences (if convicted) in addition to indiscretions that compromise his ability to fulfill his contractual obligations make a very strong case for dismissal.

I meant that the number involved is relevant and will be taken into consideration when sentence is passed because it's seen as being more serious than a one on one.
