That's not quite right about Adam Johnson. He told Margaret Byrne (Cheif Exucutive at the time) some details about what had gone on and only her. She along with Johnson kept it a secret until the trial. What we heard in the trial took everyone by surprise because Johnson had always maintained he had done nothing wrong. He plead not guilty and only changed his plea towards the end of the trial. He was sacked within minutes.

Crazy. Have to support any investigation when such things are alleged, but imagine these days there is often a digital aspect - shouldn’t take best part of 2 years to even decide on a charge, never mind a conviction. Doesn’t do either party any good. I don’t know much about the system or policing but that sounds shocking for alleged victim and accused.
Our financial claim in terms of P&S won’t be his salary since we chose to suspend; we will say we lost X million due to the inability to sell our record signing when he had 1 year left, which we clearly would have done. Wouldn’t have been a massive profit but still, when added to all the other “unforeseen circumstances”….

Eesh what a mess. A resolution that absolutely nobody gets any kind of closure from.
And yet Chelsea's and Arsenal took the opposite approach, one of them players is still actually playing for Arsenal and the one from Chelsea was up for multiple rapes, how does that work ?
Looks like I have done Chelsea a wrong, the player was actually with Man City at the time, going by another poster on here
So…
He was found not Gylfi then?
He was found not Gylfi then?
He cant be found innocent of something he hasn't been charged with.
He is, there fore, innocent.
If a shop keeper accuses you of stealing sweets but there is no evidence or charges, you're innocent.
Can we say his name again now? What an utterly bizarre time.

Which basically means he is innocent as far as the law goes, he wont have a criminal record
Why?
Nature of the case - minor involved - meant he was never named by police
But the case is no longer ongoing is it? Do we have to just pretend he‘s never existed forever? How weird.
You can't mention his name in relation to this, is all
Can go back to calling him crap and a waste of money though

Yeah just said this too, right or wrong you are either guility or you are innocent, in this case he is innocent, he hasnt been found innocent because it didnt go that far, he just is innocent
