For me it’s the nature of the offences, they aren’t your normal dickhead have a few pints then decide drive home and be a few mill over, he was 3 times over and pilled up to the nines.
Exactly – they sound like the actions of someone with a serious addiction to alcohol & with mental health issues.
Both of which are serious health problems for which he needs to receive treatment for & which I’m assuming are conditions of his sentence in court.
However light you feel his sentence was or wasn’t, that was what the trial judge decided was the punishment for his crime & he has served his debt to society
The only concern now should be whether he is good enough for Latics & whether he will lapse in to his old ways – I would assume that Latics will put things in to any contract he is offered so that if he does then he would have his contract terminated with no compensation
It took a prison sentence to iron out Tony Adams but he came back a completely different man who has earned much respect.
It took a prison sentence to iron out Tony Adams but he came back a completely different man who has earned much respect.He’s done it twice and still not got banged up. 3rd time ? kill someone ?, I’m sorry but a big no no for me. He reckons he’s a binge drinker not an alcoholic so he’s yet to face his demons unlike Adams.
If it were you or me you’d be behind bars. There are so many footballers getting away with D&D high profile players, those young kids look up to its scary. They get few grand fine, hire a driver or fork out £1000’s for taxis it doesn’t affect them in any shape or form.
It took 2 pops for him to be sacked, do it once granted, could be a mistake, twice ? the guys an alcoholic with no regards for others.
Read up on the 2nd accident, how the fook no one was killed is a miracleWhen he was sentenced the judge said: “You have a number of significant psychological issues for which it now appears you are receiving appropriate treatment.
“The community is best protected if the causes of your binge drinking are removed and that requires extensive work with a number of agencies.”
He hasn’t just said he got bullied when he was 15 nor was he just someone who likes to have a few & then drive home.
As I said he clearly has mental health & significant problems with alcohol (I’d say alcoholic but I’m no expert) and he has and probably still is receiving treatment for thoseThat shows why he didn’t receive a prison sentence and also why Latics are looking at him. As long as he continues on this path then I have no issue with Latics signing him if our manager thinks he’s good enough and if there are clauses in his contract that protect thee club should he ever suffer setbacks on his road to recovery
