Disagree.
What has his job got to do with what he did? Fair enough, he was sacked. I would imagine that most people who get jailed are ‘let go’ by their bosses, whether they drive a bus, work in a foundry, or are professional sports players.
So, if a bus driver gets jailed, he should never drive a bus again?
Or a lathe operator who gets jailed for smacking somebody should never work a lathe again?
Yes, what he did was terrible. Awful. He’s come across as a right s*itbag. But there’s no way he’ll get a permanent ban from football. Different if the offence had something to do with football, I.E. in a football ground or something, but it didn’t.
