I don’t have a clue wether he has done anything illegal or not, neither do you. That’s been my point all along, only he and the other man know what went on. Just because I’m not jumping up and down screaming peado doesn’t mean I am defending what he did, I’m just going by what we know as facts. If the other guy was groomed and abused then we will find out more facts if it goes to court of if he comes out and gives an alternative account of what went on. Which he may well do.

Only Schofield and the other man know what went on, the events we know about could ease a predatory peado grooming a child, or it could just explain how the two guys met. I’ve never defended Schofield, just don’t think we know enough at the moment to say he is a nonce.

Exactly. A rich famous older man shagging a 20 year old woman will barely make the news. He may well have groomed him but until there is any proof it's not fair at all to label him a nonce. If the other guy comes out and makes a complaint or any compelling evidence surfaces then fair enough.

I haven’t struggled to criticise him, I’ve already said he’s obviously creepy and a rat. Other than that, great point as usual.

Of course. Doesn’t mean anyone was groomed though or did anything illegal. He may well have done but there doesn’t appear to be any proof of it.

Grooming is the act of befriending and manipulating, is there any evidence that happened? The other guy might have been the one making all the moves, we just don't know.

Could have, might have. Until there is actually some evidence we don't have a clue wether he was groomed or not. No one has even made a complaint yet.

Because rich old men shagging much younger women is completely unheard of.

I’m not angry about anything, just pointing out the irony of a sad fucker like Turkish having a pop at gamers for having no social life.

7 posts a day is fucking tragic when you account for the time inbetween posts, trawling through pages getting angry over woke stuff or arguing with Sadoldgit about transexuals. Sad fucker.

It's obviously creepy and he's clearly a rat for cheating on his wife but if this the guy was over 18 when they started the relationship it's not for us to say what is wrong or right. At 18 you can choose to sleep with whoever you want as long as it's legal.

Says the man who has made over 43200 posts on a football message board.

I’m not sure what James OBrien, whoever he is, does has any effect on libel laws. Anyway, the article above says they began their affair when the guy was 18. The fact that he knew him when he was younger doesn’t mean he groomed him.

Of course it could have but without any evidence it did happen you can’t really call him a nonce.

Apparently some on here do. I would be interested to see what actual evidence they have. Everything I have read doesn’t even mention the guys age, it just that he had an affair with someone much younger than him. Rich old men have been shagging much younger women since the dawn of time without being labelled nonces.

Except if the price of foreign meat and cheese go up you can probably expect British prices to follow.

If he’s trying to get some of their players as part of the deal it is going to drag it out. I’m not a fan of his appointment but if he brings a few key players with him I would give him more of a chance of success.

Is there any proof of this? Obviously grooming kids is illegal and wrong but has anyone even made a complaint?

They did illegal stuff, what has Scofield done that's illegal?

The favourites are surely the guys who went on that little rampage in Belgorod.

Not sure why he would leave Newcastle to go to a Championship club.

Has he actually done anything illegal?

Both of those kits are miles better than last season’s disasters.

I think it is shite, unless you are challenging at the top.

He’s not the sort of manager I would have gone for, for me the priority has to be sorting the squad out, then getting the players organised and motivated. I don’t think it matters one bit what style of play we have just as long as it gets results. The squad needs major surgery, and a manager who can tell straight away who he needs in the squad to get promotion. There will be overpaid ex-prem players who will be wanting away and youngsters devoid of any confidence. It’s going to be a hard job to build a team capable of challenging, I just think it’s a job that, in the current situation, would suit someone with stature who demands respect and knows how to get promoted. It would also be bonus if he is someone who excites the fans and galvanizes the whole club. Guess we can only wait and see, at least Martin knows the league and at least they appear to be getting things done early on.
