But there was medical evidence to support the situation with the Glasgow Driver, what evidence will the club have. All Johnson needs to say is he was planning on going not guilty until the day the trial started and he saw full CPS disclosure and took advice from his barrister.
He may well have known he was guilty all the way through but for as long as he thought he might get away with it he clearly wasn't going to admit that.

yes he knew what he did but as long as he thought he could get away with it he was going to do that. He was still innocent until proved guilty and that's the stance he took, it's human nature whether your Adam Johnson or Joe Bloggs. I'd do the same as long as I thought I could get away with it.The point is, he knows what he did. He then chose to lie about it to his employer in order to keep making money. Whether he was saying he's innocent or thought he might get away with it or not isn't the issue, it's that he's guilty of the charges he pleaded guilty on, and has only owned up because he got caught. Wilful deception for financial gain.
Being sacked hours after pleading guilty suggests the same course of action would have been taken had he told the truth when he inevitably got pulled into the Chairman's office and asked what the hell was going on.

I don't want any further statement, they've said what they needed to say, he's no longer the clubs responsibility or problem.
To make further comment would encourage further media debate, whatever they say has the potential to be misconstrued.
So let's just focus on what the club remain responsible for, our premier league status
The cops will likely have presented him with the transcripts we're now seeing in the first few interviews. He knew there was no getting away with it. It's at that point the decision to lie for financial gain takes place.
My guess is the club has been lied to like everyone else. There is no way they could have known and continued to employ him. On that note, if they had not have sackd him after his guilty plea, that would have been me and SAFC finished.
Club has done everything to a letter as far as I can see. Did anyone at the club know he was guilty of grooming? Guess we'll never know
But they would need proof of that man, he's hardly going to admit to it, all he needs to say is that there wasn't full disclosure until the day of the trial when after seeing it his legal team advised him to plead guilty.The cops will likely have presented him with the transcripts we're now seeing in the first few interviews.

You've just noticedWe have some right f***ing idiots on this board.
Ha ha me anarl I'm off for me wine now, after Asda gave me a rubbish substitute for my click and collect order, so you'd have had no chance in an hour or twoIm impressed with that for a Friday afternoon, janey!
Well I think it depends on what was said at earlier court appearances.
I'd imagine it would be a quick confirmation of name and address and as was reported a not guilty plea. No more than thatWell I think it depends on what was said at earlier court appearances.

They have nipped in the bud.I agree, but rumours, untruths and accusations will continue bubble under the surface until they nip it in the bud...
