I like it when people refer to things like racially-motivated assault as a 'chequered history'.

I wasn't only thinking of his previous convictions, hence the somewhat vague phrase.

As I've said many times before, professional sport seems to exist in some sort of moral vaccuum. From the judiciary, to employers (the clubs) to the fans, there seems to be a lot more leeway afforded to certain members of society based solely on how well they can kick a ball, or how fast they can run.

Not just professional sportsmen. It extends to rock stars, actors and anyone who may be considered to be a "celebrity".

| Quote Nobeerineasthull="Nobeerineasthull"Going to have to disagree with you here Dave. I don't think its grey at all.
He can't be guilty of bringing the club into disrepute merely by being charged with something he may be innocent of.
If the club wanted to suspend him pending the court case it would be able to but it would be very badly advised indeed to dismiss him on the basis of as yet unproven allegations.'"
Youve just explained why its a grey area. A player does not need to be convicted of anything to bring a club into disrepute.

| Quote Rolf Harris="Rolf Harris"I have to say what an absolute load of tosh this thread is with a lot of people discussing things they know nothing about.
All we need are the torches and pitchforks.
This is being blown so out of proportion I think people are losing sight of the facts.
What he has done supposedly, is stupid. It's not worth sacking imo but I suppose it suits a lot of peoples' agendas this way.
And before the obvious posts, no I'm not Gareth, a relative or friend just someone who is keeping a level head and more interested in the club as a whole and what best suits them.'"
Or alternatively people may have simply been discussing options that the club may be considering. Bang out of order if you ask me, people chatting on a chat forum!!

| Quote knockersbumpMKII="knockersbumpMKII"Agree with you there Nobeer, some here are effectively saying you can dismiss on the basis of a charge alone which is complete and utter rubbish.
'"
No one is saying he could be dismissed in relation to the charge of the offence. The dismissal would be linked to damaging the brand by being charged, which ifyou look into it a company can actually choose to do should they want to, whether the charge leads to a conviction or not. Trust me.
