CPS Drops Charges Against Mason Greenwood

[wiseone]

Is the Hojlund transfer the end for Greenwood at Manchester United? Would the club spend about 70 million on a new striker of a similar age to Greenwood if Greenwood was in its future plans?

[Coach]

Charged or uncharged, United would face a barrage from sponsors and all sorts if they give Greenwood a go. Have Nike reinstated his contract? Have FIFA brought his avatar back in from the cold? If not, why not? His innocence has not been proved. If cocksure, call for a Goodwillie and prove your pecker. No pun intended.

[wiseone]

Coach, then why have they not sold or loaned him, or fired him for breach of contract? If he is in the club’s plans, why have they not brought him back for pre-season training or included him in the US tour squad?

Wouldn’t be surprised if lawyers and legal teams have been heavily involved. Having not been charged Greenwood might have a case for wrongful dismissal if his contract’s terminated. But again, that sponsors etc have not reinstated him emphasises the conundrum United are facing.

Adidas has denied the reinstatement claims.

^No one wants to be the first to play their card. United might present a package of support for women’s refuges, behavioural courses etc and assume the role of rehabilitator.

United and Greenwood have parted ways

Part of the full club statement from United is interesting

Manchester United has concluded its internal investigation into the allegations made against Mason Greenwood.

Our process commenced in February 2023, following all charges against Mason being dropped. Throughout, we have taken into account the wishes, rights and perspective of the alleged victim along with the club’s standards and values, and sought to collate as much information and context as possible.
This has required us to proceed with sensitivity and care to obtain evidence not in the public domain, including from those with direct knowledge of the case.

Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged. That said, as Mason publicly acknowledges today, he has made mistakes which he is taking responsibility for.

All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United. It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.

Seems they are hamstrung by uk laws that protect those who complain of certain sexual offenses. They really should have hired an outside third party to conduct the inquiry for them.

[Coach]

Inevitable outcome. Charged or uncharged, bearing down on a bloody faced damsel in distress bellowing “legs up”, is as incriminating as it gets. Will take a brave club to give him a go. Wrong image for the Saudis presumably, MLS too. Orlando Pirates perhaps, given SAs penchant for gender-based battery.

None but himself to blame.

Coach if everyone videotaped their domestic disputes with their partner, especially at a young age, I doubt anyone would have a career. All these sanctimonious hypocrites can pound salt.

So it’s okay for Saudi to accept Ronaldo who admitted to forcing himself on a woman and paying for her silence compared to a kid who was found not guilty of any crimes, right? Makes no sense.

He should go to Saudi and make millions and smashes it

^^if everyone videoed their domestic disputes and the contents emulated any of what Greenwood’s video implied, then they would deserve Mason’s outcome. Charged or uncharged, he was videoed bearing down on a bloody faced damsel demanding “legs up”. Surely, Nigeria hasn’t left all so desensitised as to think this normal and acceptable behaviour?

If the Saudi’s step in, with their asterisk for gender inequality and female disempowerment, they would be threatening the very same image they seek to repair. There’s a commonsensical reason why United said “bye Felicia”, evidence. They have cleverly avoided a counter case by saying “he didn’t do it bla bla bla”, yet such is their conviction in that conclusion that they’ve told him to leave. Immediately.

Any club who dares will face a barrage from the brigade and rightly so. Only has himself to blame.

On the topic of Ronaldo, is there a video tape? Is there evidence that casts a shadow on his innocence. Out of court settlements are no more than out of court agreements. In many instances, a means to an ends. If there was a video of him in Greenwood pose, think his path would’ve skewed somewhat.

[Coach]

@MA, nothing to do with UK, Greenwood was not trialled, in effect, what law has he broken if all charges dropped? That’s not to say he hasn’t. In simplest terms, he’s now bad for business.

Erm there is a written statement where he admitted and apologized for being forceful in having intercourse with her and there is evidence of him paying for her silence … and trust me the Saudi could give a monkeys about western Woke rubbish ..:

I always knew Greenwood was a talented lad but I’m really rooting for him to start a new life and career and shame all the bleeding heart hypocrites … he also needs to drop that girl

[wiseone]

Ahem

Is the Hojlund transfer the end for Greenwood at Manchester United? Would the club spend about 70 million on a new striker of a similar age to Greenwood if Greenwood was in its future plans?

[wiseone]

That is not likely to happen. They are engaged and she is pregnant with his baby.

[Coach]

The very same written statement, the authenticity of which has been disputed, with multiple versions of said statement in existence. Which is which, needless to say are as compelling as video footage, clenched fist, claret and “legs up”, hence one had a splendid career at United and the other was sacked.

None to blame but himself.
