Still can't get over the fact that the medias coverage of Sunderland ruling him out of playing this weekend is some sort of achievement and worthy of praise.

 

If he played for us, i'd be wanting to know why he hadn't been sacked as soon as he pleaded guilty.

 

Agreed should of been sacked immediately and it's a total disgrace by SAFC that he hasn't

Effectively, they've put finances/prem safety above ethics.

 

They suspended him, did an internal investigation, then brought him back into the fold and played him.

What the hell are they waiting for?  Anyone can see he is finished so sacking him immediately gives them a modicum of decency but to not do it suggests the door is still open for him depending on the verdict on the rest of the charges.

 

Classy as you like

Just read a thread on RTG before it was pulled, they actually have fans who would play him at the weekend, apparently, according to some, you are a fanny if you think otherwise. We all have our idiot element, they'll be fighting among themselves on Saturday. Live on TV, it could get more embarrassing if they start singing.

I think they probably cant say anything as it will prejudice his trial which starts tomorrow

 

if they sack him its taking action before the outcome and jurors (looking purely at the charges he has plead guilty too) will derive that his employers evidently think he is guilty and it could affect his decision making

 

Sunderland will and should sack him but they wont do anything until his trial is finished in two weeks. this is also why the media aren't going mental.... yet

Surely they can take action based purely on the fact he's already pleaded guilty?

 

no because the full trial isn't over and he hasn't been sentenced yet for all 4 charges, then they can take action I think

 

The point is that he isn't going to be found not guilty on the charges he has admitted which in themselves are grounds for dismissal.

 

the right thing is to sack him now

yes but that prejudices the rest of the trial from a legal standpoint , they wont/cant until its ALL over and he has been sentenced for ALL charges he is found guilty of/pleaded to
