Mason Greenwood

[Guest TamworthFoxes]

Will be interesting to see if he gets the chance to resurrect his career after the CPS announced they will not be running with the case today.

The circumstances of what have happened have not changed because of today’s announcement and people tend to forget that ie the consensus will now be that he was innocent. Exactly the same as the Thomas Partey situation earlier this year.

Just remember if I drink drive home from work and don’t get caught I’m still a drink driver.

Will it?

He’ll go abroad, bang a few goals in, get signed by a lower league team here with no morals, there will be outrage online, sponsors pull out, he gets released and goes abroad again.

 

We’ve seen it enough times already.

 

What I didn’t realise is that apparently the victim is back together with Greenwood and she’s withdrawn all her witness statements. The fact he will face no criminal action with all the evidence is disgusting. It must be terrifying to be a woman.

Not been proved exactly innocent. Just lucky more than anything that charges dropped. Never want to see him near our club. You'd think after this best thing for him, is just live a quiet life now keep out of public. But no doubt he'll think he's got the right to play football.

No lawyer, but I thought that the evidence through the voicemail and images looked pretty concrete. He seems very lucky to have all charges dropped against him, but unfortunately similar to Mendy, money seems to talk.

 

I think that Neville is disgracing himself too. He really is the first to lecture people about politics in football and virtue-signal to his big audience, but he is actively engaging in posts endorsing Greenwood. I was astonished by some of his likes on Twitter. So weird.
 

I lost quite a lot of respect for him during the World Cup. I get why pundits went - from a financial perspective it was probably incredibly tempting, but he literally spent years taking the moral high ground. Him saying that he was only going to ‘preach’ about the wrongdoings was an incredibly lame excuse.

 

This bears little relevance though. It appears that Neville seems less willing to ‘campaign’ when it comes down to winning at Man United.

 

I just think that with his audience and with the nature of how high-profile this case is, it sets a very damaging precedent to set for young footballers. Clearly, due to the growth in players getting into trouble with things similar to this, there is a fundamental issue which he is arguably enhancing.

Football wise they might want to keep him but could be a PR nightmare given what we have heard and read.

 

His reputation understandably will be in the mud and hard to improve .

Ched Evans all over again. Any club that tries to play him will be attacked by the mob.

The victim refused to give evidence? They follow each other again on Instagram

Read somewhere they were back together !

He'll end up as a career player in the Middle East making millions.

[Samilktray]

Proper wrong un, the amount of support he gets on Twitter from weird blokes is grim.

Rightly so. We all heard it.

It’s actually worse than Ched Evans as Ched Evans spent time in prison therefore his victim got justice. This is a cop out and I suspect abuse is still going on in some respect or another.

Evans was eventually found not guilty. So it's a very similar situation really.

 

Being not guilty doesn't mean that clubs will want to be associated with them.

Greenwood was not found not guilty. A witness (most likely the victim) withdrew their statement therefore the CPS couldn't prosecute. The videos and audio speaks for itself.

Even sat with him in court proceedings allegedly - either must be blinded by love or his money ?

Likely the latter, she'll regret it in years to come.

 

When similar things have happened in rugby and cricket, people have been banned in spite of court action so we'll hope football does the same.

There's been a lot of police time been wasted if the victim has suddenly decided to drop the charges.

The CPS can still proceed if they feel there is enough evidence and the crime is serious enough.

To be fair she didn’t go to the police in the first place did she?

[Itsthejoeker]

Her dads a right weirdo, remember at the time all the pictures of her bruises and bleeding face came out he was piping up about what a good lad Mason was. 
 

These lot are blinded by the money and free tickets, sickening. 

[MPH]

They’ll break up again in a months time but there will be no one near enough to hear her cries again next time..

I recommend everyone take the time to read this book and gather some understanding of abuse, coercive control and a system built to protect the wrong people.

I'd be pretty wary of accusing someone of wasting police time in a situation like this, it's not as straight forward as dropping charges for a laugh is it.
