The article mentions comparisons to the overarching policies the NFL and MLB have that allow the bodies to investigate regardless of whether the case has gone through the justice system. Is there something in UK law that would prevent the FA/PL from putting something like that into place? While I’m in no ways claiming that those policies are anywhere close to the effectiveness needed (look at the Texans and Deshaun Watson), it’s kind of crazy that a woman tried to report an assault to the FA and they sent her their guidelines…which apply to coaching minors, not reporting sexual violence.

wtf ever happen to the thomas partey’s case? like it has been a year plus and the investigation is still on going ? what the fuck are they doing? at least give us an update

who’s player X? it sounds like partey but it seems to imply the case is more recent than his?

So essentially, Everton got deducted 10 points because they acted with more integrity than other teams and their most expensive player “vanished” and had his contract wind down (if they were able to get £15 mill off him instead, this sanction wouldn’t have happened, and it doesn’t fit the offence) as he was the implied abuser (it upset me as I didn’t expect him to be like this, but there was a major me too scandal in Iceland of all places, and other golden generation players got indicted for these offences, and it’s unknown if the arrest was to do with it).
