Good - long winded, but well handled.
Is that a reference to their actions again Cate?
Good god no
While people can argue about the fairness or otherwise of the decision it does make business sense. The club has shown the people of Thailand and the rest of football that the behaviour is unacceptable. Remembering that the orgy took place on an official club trip any other decision would have seemed like letting the players off.
JesusClearly the correct decision. Relieved that it's finally been dealt with in a way that shows that our club has some moral compass. I sincerely hope the three fail to walk into another cushy contract elsewhere. Instead it would be good if they learnt a little about the real world.
For the record, I don't think Simpson should be sacked. His action was conducted in his home when not on official business. It was not filmed or publicised in some gratuitous manner. It was denied by Simpson and his alleged victim. It's the sort of 'domestic' case that only got to court because he's a relatively famous footballer. I am happy to conclude that Simpson is a thoroughly unpleasant character, but his actions are not comparable in terms of how our club should respond.
Having said that, were he to be moved on this summer, I wouldn't object.
Hopefully we can move on now
