AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Yeah, normally I would be all about innocent until proven guilty and not sacked unless judged by the courts. Problem is here we seem to have pretty clear evidence that he did it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, they didn’t need to disclose that though and although they’ll have received extra intel, it clearly won’t have dramatically altered what was in the original audio. Man U are just spinning it as such for PR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Maximum payout for unfair dismissal is £105k, so unless he claims some form of discrimination then it’s not exactly a big number for the Mancs if they really wanted to get rid. But they don’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't even listen to what their own players, fans and staff were saying about the matter. Not sure what you're second line has to do with the matter. Don't disagree with your third point. Never said they were worse than any other big company. In my opinion, I don't think you need to know absolutely everything about this situation to say that the club haven't acted as kunts.

But they don’t. I would have thought it may be different here. MG has a contract worth x£m over a defined period so if it was terminated illegally he would sue for the full value. Possibly outside employment laws/claims employee contracts are open ended (usually) so there is no total value to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said they were worse than any other big company. In my opinion, I don't think you need to know absolutely everything about this situation to say that the club haven't acted as kunts. I’m just trying to imagine if it was us. It’s easy to say we’d act differently but you never know. To my astonishment he was found to have no case to answer. I take that to mean there’s a whole lot of context that somehow is sufficient to mitigate what appeared to me to be a horrible incident. And yet the CPS had nothing to go on. Just to remind us all, as has been pointed out here, you don’t need to ‘victims’ testimony to make this stick. There had to be a further important information that meant it wasn’t what it appeared to be to us. Tbh, I would rather that was so as well. Better that than the idea of a man treating his long term girlfriend and mother of his child with such contempt. So, the club are privy to information we are not. On that basis, how can we say how they’ve acted and be accurate in our assessment? I think a lot of us have a very critical view just because it’s Man U and badly we’ve done against them in all competitions and how insufferable most, but not all, of their fans are. Possibly it prejudices our position on the event. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
