Shocking to hear that Sunderland may well have been aware about Adam Johnson and what he had done before this went to court. Should the club now face punishment, a fine, a point deduction? Personally I think that any club involved with child abuse should be punished as harshly as possible. Penn State were found guilty in the states and were hit with a $60m fine, 4 year ban, 5 year probation and had all their trophies taken off them from when the abuse occurred. A similar ban would be worthy for Sunderland or any other club involved with child abuse.
Totally agree BIG time, Medro. When I heard from the JOCKying press packthat Sunderland KNEW of the abuse of the child, I was shocked.
I'm undecided on this. I guess the victim wouldn't want a deduction as she is an avid fan However I am open to full investigations into clubs who are suspected of having been involved in child abuse Even liquidated clubs
Couldn't agree more. Every club covering up child abuse should be punished. Let's hope no more cases come to light. To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me though. I'd imagine at least one other club knew about a paedo in their midst. Can't think who it might be.
I knpw who you mean but I wouldn't like to name names in case of future prosecution. It's alleged one Scottish player with Swedish leanings, first name Charles, was pumping underage rent boys. His manager, a future Scotland manager knew and helped cover it up whilst continuing to play this man as his captain. The same club also covered up one of their youth coaches indiscretions with children, I won't name him but he's since been liquidated and this club also employed Jim Torbet before he set up Celtic boys club. It's impossible to punish this club now as they no longer exist but the shame of it should be known by all and those still alive should face a police investigation.
It's terrible when the guilty allege things about the innocent in shocking attempt to muddy waters. Scumbags gotta scum I suppose.
Btw should all political parties who harboured child abusers forfeit their election victories? All 'fraternal organisations' forfeit all charitable status? You would think a certain Republican party increased their seat share in a certain election by 50% seeing as the resident window taster has shown his face with child abuse cracks.
I think it's worse when scumbags only want investigations into football clubs as long as it isn't THEIR football club Luckily your football club is younger than most of its fans so hopefully won't have been involved in the terrible acts mentioned above
I thought they were only molested on a trip to America and when reported to US cops it was ignored I'm not obsessed with this subject though but I'm sure you can enlighten me further
What do you want me to enlighten you about , come on son spit it out. Words Alan Brazil has nightmares about there.
What's obvious? Why have you suddenly got all cagey. Are you ashamed or something? What is it you want me to enlighten you about. Open up, there's a good lad. (Err Alan getting upset again)
