    FFS, if this happens I really hope we see more protests. I’d feel crap supporting this club with him playing

      This should never ever be tolerated. I’d hope he gets booed by both sets of fans during a game. It’s shocking how many people (on Twitter nonetheless) want him back. Hopefully these pricks who make the decisions realise that this would be a stain on the clubs image. How do they think a woman would want to join us if we tolerate this sort of nonsense. They don’t even have the benefit of it all being rumours, we’ve all heard the recordings.

      ~I am concerned though, since ETH did back Overmars’ return after the inappropriate work messages he sent.~

      Guess we’ll see where the club truly stands soon enough. Hope the woman’s team pulls something if Greenwood does return though.

          Thanks for the clarification regarding the quote and you’re right that they’re not the same thing. Either way, neither should be tolerated, but my comment was maybe a bit short sighted in that regard.

          ETH quote that I misinterpreted: “That’s why it hits hard. Of course, you sympathise with him. But the first thoughts go to the suffering of the women. It touches us all to the depths of our souls.”
