Just a gut feeling, that a very serious offence has been committed
just a simple gut feeling and the fact that the club has taken the unprecedented step of terminating his contract immediately and without public explanation
I wonder if its worse than the alleged drugs and road accident twitter rumours , clubs have stood by players committing these type of offences , of course depending on the severity of the crime .
If they've cancelled his contract, then yes it likely is worse than offences done by players who didn't get their contract cancelled.
There are so many things it could be that it is almost pointless speculating. (Yeah, I know it's fun!) I think we would all assume it has to be 1: something very serious, 2: Not directly football related 3. Not something a club could morally defend it's player for (Like a man trying to defend his sis who he thinks has been drugged) and 4: probably illegal.
within that there are so many things, drug related, non-drug criminal, sexual, terrorist, and lots of other things that people could fancifully think up.
But it will be out here soon. It is too juicy for it to stay covered up for long, the who UK football family is looking and asking.
Are we sure that was his car in the accident ?
Probably just pissed up and did a runner to avoid being breathalysed, reported it stolen then lost his bottle or got caught out.
It happens. If that's all it is ( and I anticipate some sanctimonious rebukes for that) , then I think we're daft to let him go.
I should think Sir Neil has probably been on the telephone to sign him up for Middlesborough.
I’d have thought that we’d retain his signature.
I think from club comments earlier that something was going on before that accident. Perhaps getting pissed and crashing was caused by the stress of whatever it was before.
But I think if they hadn't found out who's car it is it would have been in the news long ago.
Derby County kept both Tom Lawrence and Mason Bennett after crashing whilst under the influence and ending their captain's career, in that case I'd be surprised if Cardiff terminated NML's contract over drunk driving
in related news Richard Keogh has recovered from his knee injury and signed for mk Dons
*Almost ended their captain's career
Thing is though that if he lied, made a false allegation that it's been stolen etc and got caught , it gets more serious and they'd start talking about attemptin to pervert the course of justice etc.
Pure speculation of course, but that's the usual thing. They might have CCTV of him driving it five minutes earlier or running off down the road or something, or his mobile telephone being used from near the crash .
I mean ,these are the usual things which go tits up if someone crashes whilst pissed then does a runner, but of course we can only guess. You're quite right though that if it was just drink drive they wouldn't have acted so drastically.
It's a bloody awful thing to happen whatever though because he was an important part of the set up.
Any comparisons with other incidents at other clubs are irrelevant.
Assuming it was a drink driving incident, as far as I see it, the owners at say Derby County may have looked on it as an occupational hazard.
Our owner on the other hand I imagine would see things very differently, perhaps a personal insult.
As has been said, the club have enough negative publicity flying about and a huge legal battle going on.
But if drugs were found in the vehicle and the quantity was enough to support a charge of intent to supply or something it suddenly gets more serious, even if it was a lot because he is rich and can afford a lot.
But if he used drugs regularly then he would have been caught on a random drugs test before now. In the prem for example I think if a player is called he has a matter of hours to attend rather than days. It just doesn't make sense.
The truth is that none of know what has happened, it sounds pretty serious, it could be one of several scenarios, filling in the blanks though, is bad taste in my opinion.
What was found in the car can't hurt him since there's no evidence to connect him with it ( unless it's forensic ).
I'm surprised more hasn't come out yet so maybe it'll be a bit like the mystery of why Sir Neil wouldn't pick Lee Tomlin and we'll never really know
I'm not really arsed what you reply back, as I wasn't looking for a conversation on the back of my post anyway. So carry on.. As you were.
Except you missed out a question mark or two.
And a million full stops because he doesn't usually structure his sentences just.... Does.... This... Between.. Words
Well....ellipses is perfectly grammatical and acceptable.....https://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/ellipses.asp
Take some comfort in the knowledge the grammar police are always overlooking our each and every keyboard movement , I wonder if you can select specific poster/s to follow , perhaps we should be paying for this expertise's ?
Does this mean that we can sign Bale?
Go and get him, Neil!
Couldn't get a shirt in his neck size.
More evidence of the seriousness of this - NML jas been removed from the club website team pages. That normally takes weeks!
Interesting that Ojo is down as an attacker (along with Moore, Glatzel, Paterson and Vassell), not midfielder (as are Hoilett, Murphy, Whyte, Tomlin, Sang and Mark Harris)!
Probably nothing in that - a random cock-up rather than an insight into the manager's thinking!
