hithere Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just on one of our Facebook groups as we can't debate this on RTG As expected the negative publicity we will receive is going to be levied at Byrne. She hasn't performed well as a chief exec don't get me wrong but I can tell a lot of it is just the 'women and football don't mix' brigade. As if she could have anticipated our star player touching kids... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 He wants to sack his lawyer like. The defence case has been woefully bad Personally I think blackmailing the 15 year old boy who tells people he's going to rape them over the internet was a masterstroke.

NUFC_Chris Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Disgusting that they didn't suspend him immediately despite having seen his whatsapp conversations, and having known he at the very least admitted kissing her. Especially as the Chief Exec in the know was a woman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Don't really understand why Sunderland's actions are being discussed, as others have mentioned they have broken no laws or rules in their conduct so will suffer absolutely no consequences for it. Yes they are now nonce sympathisers, but other than a few chants that will soon be forgotten it's hardly the story of the century. All it has shown is what we already knew, football clubs are ultimately extremely bent and will go to daft measures to get results. Plus the fact that we punch horses, so we're worse.

Yes they are now nonce sympathisers, but other than a few chants that will soon be forgotten it's hardly the story of the century. They may possibly have breached FA and statutory child safeguarding guidance, might not be something there would be a great deal of legal comeback on, but there could possibly be. Ultimately it will depend whether the media decide to run with it. At the moment they're just reporting the facts of the case and staying well clear of any comment, once the verdict is delivered their handcuffs will be off and they'll go into overdrive with it. Personally I can see the decision to un-suspend him being the main talking point as it's the most obvious way to drag the story out further and point fingers at scapegoats, as the media loves to do.

They haven't though - Johnson doesn't have any unsupervised contact with children under the age of 16 in his role (if he had, it would have been restricted). In weighing up the decision they made, Johnson wasn't likely to reoffend whilst on bail nor was he a threat to strike and attack a child spontaneously. From a safeguarding prospective, providing they have a robust risk assessment and plans in place to protect any children - they are entitled to keep him under their employment. I agree that I think the media will run with this, but the only likely outcome is an internal investigation and people losing their jobs at Sunderland.

BlueStar Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I can imagine it's pretty tough coaching someone as thick as this as a defence lawyer. "OK Adam, let's try this again.

Big Geordie Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I dunno - I still think they've got a duty of care to their younger supporters, many of whom will have been around at training and on matchday. I wonder how many SAFA supporting parents will be happy that they put the rights of a paedo, ahead of that of those of their children? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
