So, in your view, is there any crime which, if a player was arrested and charged for it, should stop them playing for the club, despite the "innocent until proven guilty" argument? If a footballer was arrested and charged for committing rape? Child abuse? Murder?The Club took action in the immediate aftermath of events. Did Jevani even have the chance to take legal advice before that action ? The Club have "painted themselves into a corner" with an inflexible decision taken in haste. The basic tenet of the English Justice system, that you are innocent until proven guilty is being ignored. After a period giving chance for reflection the manager wished to play him again but was prevented from doing so by a person or persons unknown at the Club, why ? Someone's sensibilities have been offended and they are tying the managers hands on a footballing decision which in itself raises questions.
Something unsavoury did undoubtably happen that night but until the full facts emerge in Court, it is unwise to pass judgement prematurely, but effectively that is what someone at the Club has done.
