I too, like you, thought he was cleared. I figured he was more of a sexual deviant or something and I admit I didn't look into it too heavily myself and that's on me.

So this next part feels gross to say now... I didn't think he was great, but I think we needed him and it was good to see him but in some consistent performances throughout the season. That is of course due to the lack of other options in midfield, which once again comes down to the clubs inaction. What's more damning is that they were looking to extend his contract as well, only for him to be released on a free and then charged a few days later.
