Deal or No Deal?
Not sure? Worth having a read of the article below. I know this point has already been well made but he has a long, long list of convictions. Running down the street after two women who refused his advances is just one of them.
When passing judgement that sent King down the jury were not told about King's previous attacks on women until after they had found him guilty of assault and sexual assault. This was because the Crown Prosecution Service didn't get their act together.
By not giving him the job we follow Wigans lead who wrote of £5million. The sad thing is if we don't employ him other Clubs will.
Cov fans are starting to turn away from the game. The number of season ticket holders at Cov is down. 13,000 gate at Derby etc
Most of the polls show that 50% of fans don't want him. You could thus argue it either way but my take is the Club hasn't listened.
I also think he was always coming, it was just a case of when. At the supporters forum fans were asked their views, the keeping of the number 9 shirt, the leaking of the news of prison visits, coming to the Club as a guest etc
If the objective of the Clubs owners is to make money by getting us up then to get a £5million striker for free then it's good business. Dave Whelan at Wigan took the moral stance and in my view the right one.
Some fans have voiced they will stay away. If they do it will impact on the Clubs finances. Of course no fan would want the Club to fold, but there are things more important then getting promoted.
The woman who was assaulted stated 'her face will be changed forever'.
Deciding not to go has to be an individual decision. I will still go but I will not cheer his name and I will have no time for Aidy, the Chairman or the owners. I've already emailed the Club to express my views
By not signing him it sends out a very clear message. It will be interesting to see how the other players react. The support for Wayne Bridge shows footballers will/can take a stand.
