blueatheart Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It's more a case of the club thinking it could benefit from helping out a still young former player get his life back on track FIFY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron West Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 If we had took a punt on a player banned for taking illegal drugs it wouldn't be a scandal and people would be slating the club. Everton do it and the media have a wet dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 But they're not doing that, are they? There's no way he'll play for them, so nobody can accuse them of trying to profit from taking him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Is Royle still involved at Everton? If so, hopefully he can send him back our way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton do it and the media have a wet dream. It's more of a posative story because he is one of their own and they want to help him after he's made mistakes. Kind of a parent and child role and helping him get established again rather than contnue on a downward spiral! He isn't going to make their first team or generate millions of pounds but may get his life back on track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Still seems scandalous to me that the football authorities won't even let him train and more hasn't been made of it. Surely it'd be pretty important that a young lad with a liking for drugs was able to at least keep occupied and fit as much as possible....

oafcprozac Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Still seems scandalous to me that the football authorities won't even let him train and more hasn't been made of it. Surely it'd be pretty important that a young lad with a liking for drugs was able to at least keep occupied and fit as much as possible.... The RL went down this route, then realised they had blood on their hands after Terry Newton topped himself. Yes, the player needs to take responsibility for their actions but to deny them all access to the game is cruel. Thankfully the RL have realised with the State of Mind initiative. Ban him from playing yes, don't ban him training with other footballers...don't ban him from being able to access the inner circle. Tony Adams has his Sporting Chance clinic, what do the FA offer? Sweet.... Edited January 27, 2017 by oafcprozac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tGWB Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Well done Everton FC Trying to help a gifted young man get back into his profession I would think his last chance but good luck to both Everton and Jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I wouldn't say this is his last chance - as long as Latics exist he'll always have another last chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythemostimportantkick Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Weed be foolish not to take him I would personally be in ecstasy if we signed him. Players like this are not to be sniffed at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm impressed with Everton going to the effort to help him. But can't help thinking he's a bit of knob, who needs to start helping himself. He'd already been in trouble before he got off very lightly by claiming the ecstasy in his system was as a result of being spiked. Shortly after, he's doing cocaine on a night out and gets caught again. From what I've heard, he's got very supportive parents but keeps :censored:ing things up time and again. I genuinely hope he can get his :censored: together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
