Yes, because they have contracts which require specific performance, until proven guilty.
No they don't? You can suspend players after an accusation, like United did with Greenwood. Especially if 5 people are making an accusation with the police investigating.
A contract doesn't mean teams are forced to pay players.
Gylifi, who was very important the previous season, never played for Everton again and had his contract run down after the “31 year old international” was arrested. And yet you could say that the indictment was because of this as they lost £45 mill without being able to get some of it back like they did with players like Iwobi later on. And the fact they were able to vanish a key player, who you wouldn’t think of as a vile sort, without once saying his name outright, and yet Greenwood is seen as a sympathetic figure for offences that were made very public, is a very courageous move.
