Mason Greenwood - S/A Allegations

[HibsGW]

Some pretty serious allegations coming out about him at the moment on twitter.

[Allant1981]

Just seen it now, if what his girlfriend is posting is true then i hope he gets the book thrown at him

[Dazzjw1875]

Should be sacked by Man Utd straight away if true. Cannot defend that.

[MWHIBBIES]

Lengthy jail sentence in store for him. Well done to her for posting this stuff. She is about to have a very difficult time, as if she hasnt already.

Id like to hope so but in reality, I don’t hold much confidence in the justice system doing it’s job - if true obviously. Say it time and time again, some despicable characters play football.

Yeah, the rich man likely gets off with this despite overwhelming evidence.

[Tobias Funke]

What a vile ****bag ****. 😡

[mayo hibee]

Can't see a way out of this for him. Total ****bag and unemployable, certainly in the UK, after this.

Impossible for United to stand by him here, however much they might privately want this to go away. That's £100m of player value written off for them in a single Instagram post. But they absolutely have to sack him, he's probably looking at jail time.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Im all for being fair and hearing both sides as the public often jump to conclusions and assume the worst but this doesnt look good for Greenwood. Utterly foolish of him and a sad one for her poor girl.

[HibsIntl]

The fact there’s recordings of that means it’s happened before. Would like to think he’ll rot in jail for a few years.

[Sean1875]

Guys finished. Utter prick.

There never has been and never will be an excuse for sexual assault, this guy has not only ruined his career, more importantly he's physically abused and humiliated a female, I totally agree he should be subject to a lengthy jail term. But unfortunately I also know that there will, somewhere along the line, be efforts made to brush it under the carpet. Just my opinion though.

We should maybe have a trigger warning on the thread title.

[JamesHFC]

For the girl to record it suggests that it’s happened before. Doubt we will see him play football anytime soon, hopefully the authorities take the correct action.

It certainly doesn’t look good at all, but he is entitled to a fair hearing.

[Eyrie]

She needs to go to the police, not social media.

And he needs to be locked away for a long time.

[Pretty Boy]

WTF is wrong with some people? Who thinks that kind of violence against and coercion of women is acceptable?

I was reading about Robinho the other day. Actually convicted of gang rape, fled Italy rather than serve his sentence and clubs in Brazil still wanted to sign him. The man tipped to be the next manager of their national team, and currently managing a top club team, is also a convicted rapist.

Being good at kicking a ball seems to have a really nasty few living in a bubble.

[The Baldmans Comb]

Never heard of him or her but hopefully she went to the appropriate authorities backed up by her video and any other appropriate evidence and gets as far as way from the perpretator as possible.

[Ozyhibby]

I think she has done the right thing. Just going to the police would have tied this thing up for years while his expensive lawyers employed expensive PR people to make her look bad. This way, she gets it all out there from the off.

Remembering he was also one of the two who thought it would be a decent idea to bring girls back to his room while on England duty. Not a massive crime that but obviously not the brightest and thinks he’s well above his station.

[WeeRussell]

Assuming it is indeed his voice in the recording:

I would think he ends up in serious bother for this and doesn’t play for United again.

However, the recording proves he’s a vile bully and a prick. It doesn’t necessarily prove he ended up forcing her to HAVE sex in the end. I can imagine some of the legal spin already.

Hopefully the lass, now shot of him, gets herself away from it all quickly and can move on with life (with a chunk of his money).

What an absolute d1ck (in the recording). Hopefully justice prevails.

[EdinMike]

I think she’s actually gone the right route ? In making it a social media thing because now it will become more of a public outcry (as it well should) rather than privately going to the police and finding out in 18 months time. That’s hard to witness and I hope she’s ok.

Yep - no hiding place for him. If he’s any defence for himself he’ll need to be quick about producing it.

Unfortunately also no hiding place for the girl now either. She might want to stay clear of social media, which will be hard given the circumstances!

I'd have done the exact same as she has to be honest. Absolutely zero faith in the police to appropriately deal with something like this, she'd be more likely to end up being accused of making it up than getting any justice.

If that's Greenwood then as well as a decent jail stretch I hope he never finds a club to take him on and pay him again.

On the face of it poor girl can't be seen as anything other than a victim here.

Good question, cause as someone who’s annoyingly done jury duty a couple of times you’re told to not take into account “outside influence” and only deem what you’ve heard in court. Which admittedly is hard to do.

Convictions do of course have something to do with the police, in terms of collecting evidence early enough, SOCOs etc. Im aware that the actual remit lies with the procurator fiscal or CPS in England. But don’t really want to take the thread down that rabbit hole.

Really positive how many men here are calling this for what it is. As someone who has worked in domestic abuse support, it's imperative that we as men challenge the views of other men who try and excuse or minimise the abuse she's experienced. Perpetrators of this kind of abuse can be rehabilitated but only if they fully acknowledge what they have done and seek support to address it. If we look at Ryan Giggs, he's denying everything when the evidence appears to be stacked against him. Be interesting to see greenwoods response.

Look at the f'ing state of her !!! I'm not a fan of trial by social media so everything has to be tempered by this guys right to a proper trial in a court room.

But if this turns out to be what it looks like he should never play professional football again, in fact why the hell would any right thinking person ever want to play alongside, or work in any job for that matter, beside somebody capable of doing that to a woman, who in their right mind would want to employ such a despicable prick?
I can honestly say that if a Hibs player was found guilty of anything like this and the club continued to employ and play him I would sever all ties with them until he was gone and the club had made a commitment to never repeat such an act.

[JamesHFC]

Man Utd confirm he won’t train or play until further notice.

I seem to recall about a year ago mention made of him not playing as often as he should due to off field stuff. All coming out now I guess....

The sad thing is that clubs will still look to sign him if he does go to jail, the worst case, different offences was the Plymouth Argyle goalkeeper killing two young children and leaving the Dad needing full time care because Luk McCormick decided to drive home drunk, seven years I think he got and when released PA took him back and even made him captain, he should never have been allowed to play football again.

[theonlywayisup]

If true that he had done such a shocking act, then that'll be the end of what was looking like a promising football career. Although, from a football perspective, I did think he was in the Deli Ali mould of a promising youngster exposed to the fame and riches far too soon. It looks like it's not only on the pitch that all this fame went to head. If true, I hope he goes down for a long time.

There’s no chance her phone was hacked. She’s released it and rightly so. He’s going on about not wanting it out there and that they’ve known him for years etc. All irrelevant. Only thing he had to say was that it was despicable and he’ll do all he can to ensure justice for his daughter.

Read the same earlier but the point was made that if this has happened before she may have been terrified, taking this to the police may not have got the attention or protection she needs, she may have already taken it to the police right enough and they've laughed it off.

It also turns out the video and audio are from October 2021, which is strange. Hope she's not held onto this until things didn't work out.

It doesn't exactly sound like they were working out at the time of the recording.

Speculating about the victim's motives is pretty toxic IMO...but i guess this is the internet, so there's not much point in me saying that...

[Unseen work]

Don’t think there is anything odd about the recordings, photos etc been recorded or taken months ago.

Victims of domestic abuse sometimes don’t come out at all and some that do take months or years before ending the relationship such as the hold the perpetrator has on them.

Domestic offenders are manipulative and scary scary individuals, it will have taken a huge amount of courage to actually do what she has done especially with his profile.

[Tambo]

The Athletic say United haven’t officially suspended Greenwood.

And they’re expected to pay the 20-year-old his full salary, believed to be close to £100,000-a-week.

The publication notes that ‘nothing has emerged from United to suggest otherwise’.

The club are said to be wary of affecting any legal process at the current moment in time, instead allowing the authorities to do their job.

[Aldo]

This. This young girl from what I have read has been trapped in a coercive abusive relationship and has taken the decision to post items on social media. This for me is her cry for help!

It has taken her ages to build up the courage to do this so well done to her.

I have heard the audio and if this is what she has had to put up with/ endure during this relationship then MG will get what’s coming to him.

Disgusting disgraceful behaviour!

And they’re expected to pay the 20-year-old his full salary, believed to be close to £100,000-a-week.

The publication notes that ‘nothing has emerged from United to suggest otherwise’.

The club are said to be wary of affecting any legal process at the current moment in time, instead allowing the authorities to do their job.

As unpalatable as it is I don't think Man Utd have any choice but to keep paying his salary pending the outcome of any criminal proceedings. As soon as that process is complete and if he is found guilty I'd expect a dismissal for gross misconduct to follow almost immediately.

Obviously vastly different sums involved but we'd all be entitled to expect similar.

Was about to post similar. Although, rightly IMO, we all have him as guilty, his employer can’t take that stance legally.

Everton suspended Sigurdsson straight away when he was arrested.

Everton suspended Sigurdsson straight away when he was arrested.

Whether suspended or not, they’ll still receive full pay. He’s been told not to attend the training ground and won’t play, effectively suspended.

The point is, footballer contracts are very different to most employment contracts.

Employment law is the same though on a fixed term contract or not.

The point is, footballer contracts are very different to most employment contracts.

Football club contracts don't supersede employment law. It makes no odds whether they are fixed term, on £100 a week or £100,000 a week, employment law is the same.

There you go

TWO YEARS AS A RED,” it screamed, the post on Sunday morning from Manchester United (https://theathletic.com/team/manchester-united/)’s Twitter account celebrating Bruno Fernandes’ (https://theathletic.com/player/premier-league/manchester-united/bruno-miguel-borges-fernandes/) anniversary at the club. “Big happy birthday wishes to Berba” followed an hour later to mark former United striker Dimitar Berbatov turning 41, before another Fernandes tribute post complete with the #MUFC hashtag later in the day.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Manchester, a woman is going through what we can only imagine is utter hell.
We won’t name her, because an alleged victim of sexual assault is entitled to anonymity whether graphic images and audio are posted on her Instagram account or she walks through the Trafford Centre naked with a loud speaker, but we must not forget her.
Football probably will, though. It usually does — or that’s how it feels. It’s there with a snazzy social media campaign to promote female inclusion or to bang the drum for the women’s game but when it comes to taking meaningful action there is too much left unsaid, too much inaction.
Women, as a result, are too often made to feel like afterthoughts and outsiders; the collateral damage in the rush to protect the prized darling (male) assets. This is about far more than Manchester United’s content team failing to read the room (the replies are quite something).
We saw it all over again on Sunday, the day United and England footballer Mason Greenwood (https://theathletic.com/player/premier-league/manchester-united/mason-greenwood/) was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault following allegations on social media.
At 3.59pm, some 10 hours after those harrowing photographs and audio recordings first emerged, United announced that Greenwood will not train or play for the club “until further notice”.
They stopped short of formally suspending him, though. And it is expected Greenwood will still be paid his salary of £100,000 per week. Nothing has emerged from United to suggest otherwise.
On what planet — apart from planet football — would this ever be thought to be OK? In which other walk of life, especially one that plays out in the public gaze, could you be accused of such heinous crimes and not be suspended during the inevitable investigation?

United are understood to be wary of affecting any legal process but it is staggering that nobody at Old Trafford — or among the Glazer family — thought to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. How many women were involved in the process that resulted in a statement saying the club “do not condone violence of any kind” but stopping short of formally suspending Greenwood? Did anyone think how this might play out with female supporters around the world? Or what Manchester United Women might think? (They won 2-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Bridgwater on Sunday, incidentally, which you might have missed because all the headlines were about Karna Solskjaer making her debut — AND SHE HAS A FAMOUS DAD!)
There is a 20-year-old male footballer under police investigation and United have shown where their allegiance lies. And it certainly does not feel like it is with any victim or the hundreds of thousands of women and girls who may have seen that harrowing social media content and thought: “Who the hell would I turn to if that was me?”
The tiptoeing, mild-mannered response provokes the same feeling as when Cristiano Ronaldo (https://theathletic.com/player/premier-league/manchester-united/cristiano-ronaldo-dos-santos-aveiro/) was being feted on his second United debut (https://theathletic.com/2820579/2021/09/12/ronaldos-first-week-back-speeches-to-team-mates-skipping-initiation-song-and-instant-impact-at-old-trafford/) as feminist campaign group Level Up flew a plane over Old Trafford pulling a banner that read “Believe Kathryn Mayorga”. Women were on the outside trying to “disrupt the fanfare and remind crowds of the unresolved allegations” against him. Mayorga says she was raped by Ronaldo in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009 (https://theathletic.com/2800154/2021/09/01/explained-allegations-cristiano-ronaldo/) but prosecutors closed the matter a year later because the case could not be “proven beyond reasonable doubt”. Ronaldo has always strongly denied any wrongdoing.
In the clamour to snatch Ronaldo from Manchester City (https://theathletic.com/team/manchester-city/)’s clutches last summer, not a word was uttered publicly by United about any of these allegations. Was this part of the due diligence in assessing whether 36-year-old Ronaldo could still cut it in the Premier League (https://theathletic.com/premier-league/)? To mention it in the media only invites a pile-on of abuse. So the show goes on.
Ryan Giggs was allowed to “mutually agree” with the Football Association of Wales to temporarily step down as manager of the national team after he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting his now ex-girlfriend, Kate Greville, in November 2020. He has been on leave ever since and is due to go on trial in August, having pleaded not guilty to all charges. The accusations against one of United’s most celebrated players were deemed serious enough to see Giggs left out of the Premier League’s Hall of Fame but he was still very welcome in the directors’ box at Old Trafford.
United are not alone, of course. There is a Premier League footballer who was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault last year who is the subject of intense transfer speculation as the January window closes. Benjamin Mendy played for Manchester City while under police investigation (https://theathletic.com/2794201/2021/08/30/why-did-manchester-city-let-benjamin-mendy-play-on/) for allegedly raping a woman at his house. He has since been charged with four counts of rape and a separate offence of sexual assault and will face trial later this year. He denies all the allegations.
Everton (https://theathletic.com/team/everton/) have been very much the exception, deciding to suspend a player — who has not been named — after he had been arrested because of an ongoing police investigation into child sex offences. That was a strong, swift and admirable decision and yet in football terms, it is an outlier. It is remarkable that such an apparently straightforward and sensible decision is far from commonplace.
Because, usually, it’s all about protecting No 1: the assets, the men who make the money. You nurture them, you promote them, then you clean up any mess or you swiftly move them on to make them someone else’s problem. This is how it works.
It’s not naive to wish it could be otherwise; that an industry so preoccupied with how it looks could stop for a second and think just how bad this looks. Perhaps it is naive to hope things will ever change, though; that this wonderful game we have up on a pedestal will ever be more than an industry.
Because that’s what it feels like — an economic activity, the processing of raw materials. No thought for the victims of these alleged crimes. And too many women on the outside looking in or, at worst, forgotten.

It amazes me the silence around Ronaldo, from so many quarters.

Will be joining Mendy at Prison FC soon.

Put them in the same cell in Strangeways then brick up the door. If found guilty, Greenwood is looking at a long stretch. Mendy, well, who knows whether he would ever be released. Time will tell.

He's already been charged for multiple different issues, not really a trial by media is it, and I know he's just been charged, not convicted by look at the charges, watch the video and you don't need a court to decide if he deserves to be out.

And if you've heard the clip, you don't need to wait for the trial. Even if miraculously he isn't found guilty of actually raping her, he deserves to rot in hell for the way he speaks to her in that video, it's all sorts of abusive, and that's just one clip, imagine what he's like normally.

I haven't seen it. If there's one in the public domain, that's been widely seen, there may be a problem finding a jury.

As an aside, though, high-profile cases like this reinforce my belief that the names of alleged perps of sex-crimes shouldn't be released until or unless they have been convicted.

The Manchester United footballer Mason Greenwood is set to face trial in November 2023 on charges including attempted rape and coercive behaviour.
Greenwood, 21, appeared before a judge at Manchester Minshull Street crown court on Monday. The footballer is accused of attempted rape on 22 October 2021, and of assault occasioning actual bodily harm in December 2021.

He is also charged with repeatedly engaging in coercive and controlling behaviour, which allegedly included monitoring the complainant’s social media accounts and “making threats and derogatory comments towards her, amounting to a serious effect upon her”.

Sure the average salary in the EPL is £30k odd a week so £1.5m a year. Greenwood will likely be on somewhere closer to £100k. I’d suspect he’ll be on at least £3-£4m a year.

I seen something a while ago that said that every single Barcelona player other than 2 of them are on £100k+ a week. Now I know they’re a basket case but I’d suspect the likes of Man Utd will also have a vast majority of their squad on about that.

900 and the rest, he is on approx 75k per week

It's more than 12 weeks until the trial though?

argh it was myself that put up the original link a few months back detailing his salary that he was on £75k/week as well, should be £3,900,000 of course :whistle:

incredible amount of cash

Also, will not be entitled to Legal Aid due to his earnings so will have a hefty legal bill to fund, shame

He'll not have to work a day in his life if he's got a good financial advisor and that is gutting

Hopefully if found guilty he has to pay a whack out to the other person

He'll have a good lawyer though and that will cost him a whack apart from possible compensation.

It was reported down here on Granada news that Mendy had stopped being paid from Man City, i wonder if it's the case with Greenwood too? :dunno:
