They never got enough evidence to be able to charge him. It’s still technically under investigation and it’ll never be officially “dropped” but I think it’s all but over at this point.
In footballing terms only, that’s the part I have trouble with. I think he probably did it because I believe the women, and I really want him out of the club, but I’m never sure what a club should do in these situations. If they suspended him the second the accusations came forward, he would have been out of the club for a year and a half now with no end in sight. If the investigation is never dropped, but the police don’t have enough evidence to charge or drop (at this point), is his career over? Should it be the same for just some random guy that works at a Tesco in Mansfield? He’s not allowed to work until the investigation is dropped?
Yeah in the most cynical way. The whole thing is incredibly stupid. Thats why the club were right to do it the way they did. Just ignore it until they have no choice.

Wasn’t it a question of jurisdiction or extradition from Spain?
