HalfTimePost Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Good call. Genuinely surprised. Says the investigation found that he wasn't guilty which is frustrating but pretty clear that they believe he is to let go a very expensive asset as a result.

The_Steve Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 **** off "Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged. That said, as Mason publicly acknowledges today, he has made mistakes which he is taking responsibility for." Sounds like they wanted to bring him back still but couldn't risk the justified backlash. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Yep, they wanted to keep him but very reluctantly have to release him. It’s hard to give United much credit for doing the right thing here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshVilla Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Glad that they're getting rid of him, but I'd love to hear their explanation of that audio recording if they reckon that he "did not commit the offences". Feels as though they've listened to the public backlash rather than having a conscience themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he think it means he was "cleared" tells you everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2023 I wonder what they consider the “mistakes” to be if they think he didn’t commit the offences. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MessiWillSignForVilla Posted August 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) "I accept I made mistakes" and "I was cleared of all charges" in his statement. Hmm, I think lying about being cleared suggests you've not accepted shit you scumbag. Edited August 21, 2023 by MessiWillSignForVilla 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure they're letting go of a very expensive asset for nothing. They're working with him to find him football outside of Old Trafford - which most likely means "we've persuaded Mason to piss off to the Middle East and are currently negotiating a fee for him that covers us for our trouble - that'll be booked as FFP profit by the way as Mason came through our youth ranks, thanks very much". Expect him to go to El-whatever for £60m sometime next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Weren’t Man Utd also considering signing Arnautovic last season which got met with huge protests because he’s a racist PoS. They aren’t good at reading optics are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
