I'm hoping he stays, with appropriate punishment for anything he may be found guilty of. Would be gutted to see him go, prior to 'the incident' I thought he would be part of Wigan's long term plans.

If I'm honest then' I'm expecting the worst.

Just be good to know either way then we can get on with the season, massive game next week, I really fancy another trip to Wembley this year!

Of course it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that some one may *know* what happened. But even if that is so, they'd be wise to keep it to themselves, I think.

As for the polis, I don't think that a lack of action from them necessarily means that nothing 'serious' has happened; it could well be a case of "he said, she said", with little chance of a successful prosecution in court.

Without speculating on this particular case - what often happens, especially with drink related offences, is the "victim" tells the police he/she does not wish to press charges and does not want to provide a statement. Police then decide to look at alternative cases more worthy of their time

unless a criminal act (violence) has occurred then they must act themselves

That is incorrect, I know from experience

You're wrong on that one
