Premier League Thread 2023/2024

Greenwood leaving Man Utd.

 

Where's he going to pop up next?

 

I'd be amazed if its anywhere in this country.

[bmt]

I'm actually a bit astounded by United's statement.

 

"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."

[StanSP]

The right decision eventually made. But it's worrying that it took so much backlash following Man Utd's intentions leaked last week that only now they make such a decision. 

 

 

[StanSP]

I'd say questions still need to be asked of the people higher up in the hierarchy at Man Utd after last week. They don't deserve any credit even if they have made the right decision. 

[ARTY_FOX]

The statements really weird. 

 

Thankfully their intentions were leaked. Correct decision made far far too late.

The fact his stay was considered is appalling. The right decision in the end I suppose

[adejo92]

Not sure we'll ever know the full facts behind the Greenwood saga.

 

He'll still have a career somewhere.

Yeah I'm amazed he wasnt sold to a Saudi club by now. From the small snippets of international fans on social media I have the displeasure of coming across, most of them think he's been hard done by even before this afternoon's statement, which is crazy in itself.

Was thinking the same..... he'll get signed up by a Saudi club and get paid millions more 🙄

Starts at the manager for me personally.

Doesn't matter how much money. The league and profile isn't as good as playing in the Premier League and potentially winning trophies with one of the biggest clubs in the World.

[foxfanazer]

Fair play United. Not entirely sure why it took so long but the correct decision for sure.

True for anyone else but for someone who everyone rightly thinks is trash and bad for Man U from a PR / commercial perspective

(lets be honest, thats the real consideration Man U had in their decision) , it would have been a no brainer for both parties to sell him to the highest bigger abroad, inevitably a Saudi Arabia club

He brought up the Lionesses as well which I find a bit weird. 

 

Timings have also been influenced by my desire to minimise the impact of the investigation on our men's and women's teams, as well as our Lionesses.

He'll go to Al-Nassr so he and Ronaldo can have a [term censored for legal reasons] reunion.

Don't know how United deserve any praise here?

They literally only did this after a journalist came out and leaked their intentions until the pressure got so much they couldn't possibly do anything other than **** him off. 

I reiterate, just two weeks ago they were going to reinstate him with Ten Hag being in agreement (that's a part of the story that's gone under the radar), they didn't do a U-turn because they had some wholesome change of heart.

[Finnegan]

Was going to say nailed on to go to Turkey on a free but Saudi is an interesting shout. 

 

That said, given they're blatantly sports washing for image and they have an abysmal image internationally for women's rights, he might not be the smartest pick up.

 

Where as a club like Fener straight up 100% don't give a shit what anyone thinks.

I'd have said Lazio if he wasn't going to end up 'ooh-oohed' by racist piss bags the first time he missed a sitter.

It's not praise as such. Just relieved they've come to the right decision regardless of how they got there. The statement is atrocious though

Will anyone actually dare to buy him given the circumstances and backlash they’d get ?
 

[Md9]

So is he trying to say she made it all up about him? The whole thing is strange there is pictures of her battered and bruised and him in a voice recording saying he was going to do stuff to her how is that not enough evidence ? 

[Brizzle Fox]

Much respect to investigative sports journalists like Adam Crafton and various woman's organisations who have kept the pressure on Man U, despite receiving vitriolic abuse by various misogynists on social media.

 

And if I read one more time that he was cleared of all charges in the media without that statement being corrected, I will probably explode with apoplexy.

 

Finally it's soo Man U to end up making the right decision (for all the wrong reasons) and end up looking like completely immoral fools.

[The Bear]

The only reason he was cleared is his girlfriend didn't ultimately pursue it. We all saw the bruises and heard the recordings. He's a scumbag,
