Pluses: Good, quality keeper proven in the championship/wouldn't cost a thing/would be a good back up and push Wes for the starting slot.
Negatives: Convicted of manslaughter, bad publicity, divided fans, (would it) affect his game if he played...along with the rest.
Whoever made the call for inviting him for a trial sure has 1 big set of balls!

This one is starting to replay now, time to knock it on the head.
What will be will be.. nobody is right or wrong in this case, every opinion is right for that person.
We should just leave it at that me thinks.

Can't say I'm happy about this one bit as I'm a father and just to think what he has done to that poor family is unbearable plus if he does get a contract with us next season we will have to listen to the opposition fans throw all kinds of abuse at him and our club for signing him. I take my boy to the game with me and i dont want him to have to listen to it. The whole thing is just bad publicity and will draw a dark cloud over our club which is a shame when we have just had a fantastic season.

He was jailed for 7 years and 4 months so for me his conviction is NOT spent yet. He is still on payback.
So he should not be even considered for a career with us before Summer 2016.
This is the first negative story we have been involved in for a while now and I would rather he didn't come to our club at all to be honest but he is a human being and he should be offered the chance to be a community servant until his conviction is fully spent. Perhaps he can help in the local community, then get a contract once 7 and a half years after conviction and he has , in the eyes of the law anyway, fully repaid his dues to society.

This horse has already bolted the stable. He has trained with the club and been given a trial so there is a willingness to take him on. Regardless of wherther he signs or not the club have decided it is OK to do so.
From his point of view ( whilst he may like to stay out of the limelight ( its what he does and its what he can get paid well for. He's a decent keeper and he needs someone to take him on to rehabilitate him until he moves on.
I'd like to hear from McCormick. If he's going to hand over x% of his wages to charity and work tirelessly giving anti DD messages then maybe it might work. I'd also like to hear from the familty affected - if they gave it the green light then maybe people who are anti should stand down.
I'm against this at the moment but I want to hear from the people directly involved.

Anyone hear JW's TEF drop in the BBC interview that on the website? Apparently there is a 'mature debate on thetownend.com' (or words to that effect).

Just to throw this out there again, but would there be such outrage if he was just under the legal limit? Just because that's what people are focusing on most so it would interest me.
And what I'm about to say will not make this right but this could have happened to any of you. I'd be highly surprised if any more than a handful of people could hand on heart said they had never done the following:
*Driven or attempted to drive under excess alcohol
*Driven at dangerous speeds
*Driven having had minimal sleep or driven whilst tired
How would you feel about never being able to work again? What if you were able to get the same type of work but at a much lesser level and with a lot less pay than what you had before?

if they go through with signing him, get a shit load of backlash and bad publicity - for what? a back up keeper  doesn't seem worth it what happened to that david james rumour? |
