Papers be horrendous tomorrow. I bet when Johnson was in hotel room and first sent the poor kid a message, he could never fast forward 18 months and see the brutal frontpages of every national news paper. Thick as fuck and he has paid for it with the ultimate price.

it won't be just him in the papers however, as you know well enough, no doubt the club will be also in among the pages of anger about him and also smashing it hard at those in power at the club, the trial maybe over just about, but the trial by public opinion and the media has only just begun.

100% like, I couldn't agree with them more.

And you don't know the facts do you, firstly you are believing a player who was doing everything to defend himself against criminal charges. He lied about one of the sexual offences, so why wouldn't he lie about this.

That isn't even the issue, I don't have to defend the club, the statement says it all

But the statement actually says fuck all.

It doesn't defend the majority of statements that Johnson made regarding them knowing he had admitted some of the charges and that they had access to police statements and the whatsapp messages.
It only says they didn't know he was going to change his plea to guilty.
It's a shocker of a statement and leaves them open to questions about their incompetence and mishandling of this whole sorry affair.

10 yrs f***ing hell.

Sums the justice system in this country up if he gets anywhere near that.

I still think the paedo tag is a bit harsh me. f***ing braindead idiot would be a better description bt hes hardly a saville type systematically preying on vulnerables.

Disagree completely.

He prayed on an infatuated CHILD at his place of work, using his fame, because he was horny.

It's the very definition of paedo.

it's the starting point IIRC, there will be mitigation (he's lost everything, the time will be hard for him, blah blah) I'd expect he'll get somewhere between 2 and 3 years, I just hope to christ they dont suspend it.

i would suggest its not just London, when i said trial of public opinion and media, i was also referring to the rest of the united kingdom as well, fans of other clubs your general person in the street who has no interest in football will no doubt also have there say.

If I had a multi million pound business I would operate within the law to secure its future. I don't really care what the club knew. They made what they felt was the right decision at the time.

It's all about morals and yeh it prob looks bad but personally I'm not that arsed

There are no morals when it comes to the law, its a cut and dry thing.
