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.
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.
Well....ellipses is perfectly grammatical and acceptable.....https://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/ellipses.asp
Does this mean that we can sign Bale?
Go and get him, Neil!
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!
