teawamutu Actually, it just occurred to me that SU making the decision on commercial grounds isn't entirely a bad thing. Yes they've been craven, cowardly and have a balance sheet instead of a conscience - but it has proved that employing someone like this will cost them money. It's seen as bad enough by society in general that they can't risk it.
I think so as well. Its taken the control out of their hands and forced them to wake up to economic and business reality. Which they obviously aren't capable of doing themselves. Its shown up their flaws to the whole country.
I can't help thinking that football right now seems to be a repository for a bunch of sociopaths who keep getting things wrong, in the way that sociopaths do, and that society has this time stepped into the breach to impose some order upon the rabble.
I feel sorry for any decent, skilled footballer trying to earn a living in this atmosphere. Maybe it also explains lack of international results for the national team to some extent, despite all the money flying about?
As for Evans, why the hell doesn't he just go abroad, keep his head down, actually do some work and get some results - is he scared to do something on his own, without his mates and his girlfriend's family around him? Pretty soon, he's going to be a washed up former footballer in his thirties with a rape conviction...time is running out for any "talent" he might have had.
