And they were STILL trying to keep him
Judgement is looking real shitty

Considering there are 3 victims, Partey was surely arrested for initial investigation at-least 3 times.
Why did the legal system keep this lingering for 4 years without a charge?
What evidence could possibly surface 3-4 years post the incident?
Former user of the forum who wouldnāt stop telling everyone he was a lawyer at every opportunity. Not you - donāt worry lol

Not a lawyer myself, but have worked close to lawyers re: medicolegal issues. And I doubt anyone can be arrested 7 times and bailed seven times in such a short durationā¦ But Iām not in the mood for this shit on a fine Saturday. So would be swell if any lawyers could clear this up.
In the UK I think they have a 3 month default period for bail so itās possible tbh. More likely they just extended it while they continue investigating, doubt heād be questioned so many times for the same thing.
I got itā¦donāt worry
Glad we didnāt renew his contract

I can see both sides of the argument in this case. Ideally, the club should have left him out of our playing squad until the matter was resolved, but then there is precedence here with the Mendy case where City did the same and now Mendy is taking them to court.
The way I see it, the club chose to believe him based on the information they had at that time which is that he was accused of rape/sexual assault but no charges were brought forth. However, with this news about him being arrested 7 times coming out, that does look rather bad. In the clubās defence, he was given bail 7 times so obviously the police didnāt have enough on him, and therefore the club didnāt have any reason to change their original position of believing his version of the story.
Wonder what took the police this long to bring charges against him. Anyway, am glad he is no longer associated with the club. Also, we can be sure he wonāt be playing in England next season thanks to this.

I donāt think he was arrested seven times. He had his bail extended seven times because itās only a limited period. Thatās on the police and prosecutors for taking over three years to charge the case.

Heās probably been interviewed 7 times down at the nick or forced to show-up at pre-arranged times as part of his bail conditions. Itās difficult to be arrested 7 times for 5 allegations of criminality.

Come on enough with the vagueness, players or the cleaners?
I feel like no-one refers to players as staff, they would clearly state players if thatās what they mean.
I imagine a lot of the Marketing/PR/Finance/Commercial employees etc. is who theyāre referring too.
Maybe some coaching staff etc as well

I feel another strongly worded letter coming on. Iām disgusted with my club.
Will you still be disgusted with your club if it happens that he is not found guilty in court?

Itās a bit more complicated than that.
Hmmmm.
I think once the case has been tried in court, the club really needs to explain what they knew when they offered the new contract or indeed whether they did offer a new contract.
Iāve heard from one source that the offer was withdrawn but that could be their PR position. Partey was at the first warm summer camp in Spain a week before he was charged, so it looks a bit suss on the clubās part.
Why should the club entertain a transfer rumour?
At the end of the day, no contract was ever offered.
I canāt think of a single scenario where giving this information is beneficial for any party but the journalists.
The whole thing has died down because club kept their mouth shut about the whole topic.
