I cannot for the life of me imagine Liverpool binning MacAllister or Villa Martinez . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting aside that imo he should not be representing our club, it will cause division in a squad that desperately needs unity. Not a helpful start for the manager either. 😡💯💀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they’ve got many people running around looking at this working out what needs to happen. Not what the new manager needs at this stage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see a way back for him with the squad to be honest. Even if on the surface it’s presented as forgiveness and they’re all getting along, it won’t be forgotten, so he will have to leave. Whether he goes this summer or next, the club will have to move him on, IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyDroy Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Hopefully he's called the teammates he insulted and seriously apologized. That could potentially save this situation but if that horrendous statement he put out is all he's done then he's a piece of crap and deserves to be sacked on the spot. Because that statement was not written by him and there is no indication in that statement alone that he's even sorry about whats transpired, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin1905 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I hope he never plays for us again. Forget the financial ramifications. We can not allow a racist scumbag to be associated with our football club. In any way. Get him out and get him out now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he can then be re-educated into the hurt this can cause as you and East Lower have so eloquently described previously. Then Maresca gets them all in the boxing ring and they can all duke it out before the season starts . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may get a short ban, they can only fine him a maximum of two weeks money unless he agrees to more. But if the whole sorry tale, teaches some people the value of fairness and equality, then there may be a positive that emerges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be brutally honest, I have been at football games, stag weekends, probably parties etc, where you do get caught up in things (certainly at football) and you say, sing or do things that on reflection you are not proud of, and are glad never saw the light of day (and luckily never have done) But I am not a pro footballer in the limelight. And i wouldn't be stupid enough to post that stuff online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to this degree. But I have, at times, sung stuff in the heat of the moment that I am perhaps not particularly proud of.

Bob Singleton Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 More from pre-season training. Maybe I missed him, but I don't recall seeing Nico Jackson. I know he picked up an ankle injury when he was with his national squad a few weeks back, and returned to Cobham for assessment... anybody have any news?

Sabrina F. Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Jackson picked up an ankle strain, which is usually estimated to be between 4 to 6 weeks. He's probably individually training, and shoud be back training with the team sometime during the US tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
