Manchester United's U-Turn | The People's Poll ep. 131 | Planet FPL 2023/24 (NO ADS)

On Monday afternoon Manchester United confirmed in a statement that Mason Greenwood would be allowed to leave to continue his career elsewhere, citing a 'mutual agreement' in their reasoning. Greenwood had been arrested in January 2022 after audios, photographs and videos appeared on Instagram. The charges in relation to these were dropped in February 2023. There's detail on the timeline of events from January 2022 up to United's statement on Monday, the amazing investigative journalism from The Athletic's Adam Crafton that much of the Podcast centre's around and includes United's initial willingness to reintegrate Greenwood into the first team squad. A decision that was overturned internally after a public backlash.

Well fuck, lots to process here. As always gents, a genuinely fantastic blend of research, opinion and balanced debate with open questions. This is a subject I personally really struggle with. There are so many variables and infinite questions that should be asked to clarify both circumstance and fact. The Human brain is capable of filling in blanks. We are as quick to pass judgement as we are to deliver forgiveness and most of the time we are absorbing information that has been conditioned before it’s delivered. My first and strongest thought on this, is something we should all live by. “Don’t be a dick” (made more PC for Patreon) - if you’re in a friendship group or relationship that doesn’t make you a better version of yourself, it’s your responsibility to change that environment. If for instance Greenwood gets called into the England squad in 2025 and in the meantime we find out that what leaked was a botched attempt at blackmail. Refused and so posted. How would you feel? If it was an out of context ramification of a requested foreplay or BDSM
 public laundry aired. Do we feel the same way? The context of private life clarified. There are people that run countries, governments, organisations Large and small who behave in ways that appear above the law. “If there’s a fine for it, then it’s legal if you’re wealthy” - moral vs legal đŸ€·đŸŒâ€â™‚ïž There was a HEFT of support for Benjamin Mendy when he was legally acquitted of the multiple counts of assault/rape and whatever else. It doesn’t mean those things didn’t happen. I refer back to the 2% you mentioned. Just because is hasn’t been proven in a court of law, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. The likelihood is that some version of what was listened to and witnessed online for Greenwood and the now mother of his child happened, is huge. We believe our own ears and eyes. I have no doubt that whichever way the truth falls, we only have a whisker of the information. Those with resources will always win over those without. Not just in football. As a Man United fan I have a very sore spot for this. First Giggs, then Greenwood and now Anthony. What is it with United? It can’t just be their players. It’s statistically impossible for one. How many footballers over the years have “misbehaved”. I think it’s essential that people are held accountable for their actions. But this needs to apply to everyone. Not just those with high profile careers to lose. I don’t have a defence or an attack on the Greenwood example. I don’t have all the information. It’s not much to ask as a society. Just don’t behave like a wanker. It’s rarely called for and even more rarely justified. Loosely structured ramble over. Be nice to each other. Cue music Manchild.
