Jevani Brown

[Sexton Blake]

Sextomn will answer for himself, but in relation to a not guilty plea tomorrow a date for trial may be fixed, rather than the case being heard there and then. That trial date may well not be in the six weeks before the end of the season ... and Jevani's contract expires in the summer.

Sorry Sexton, but with respect your options 2 and 3 are "cobblers". Why on earth should anyone be forced to plead guilty and receive a criminal record just in order to play again ? And in a similar vein if he pleads not guilty, the Club would look like prize buffoons in any subsequent employment tribunal case for unfair dismissal.

He may decide to plead guilty as for want of a better word an easy way out and live with the apparent stigma.

Your comment regarding the Club’s position is again why it may be that the Club do know which way he will plead.

He has yet to enter a plea. Maybe in "the cold light of day" in the immediate aftermath perhaps he admitted to the Club that an incident had occurred, but with the subsequent benefit of legal advice he is going to plead not guilty, we simply do not know. If he pleads not guilty, or the case is deferred, then the Club by continuing to keep him from playing until his contract expires looks uncomfortably like constructive dismissal to me.

Surely he's still being paid.

Again. The Jevani stuff is best left until we know more either way

Just like judgements being made on GC before he's had a "decent crack of the whip" eh ?

Case been sent to Loanmuff for a fairer outcome ?

 

[Snoop Fog]

If it goes to trial then it will likely be into next season before its heard. Approx 6 months wait currently, although that is at the Crown, not sure what the wait at the Mag's is.

There are literally nothing alike are they. Commenting on a football manager whom thus far hasn't been great vs Legal proceeding we do not know anywhere near enough about and will only be able to make a proper judgement about once the hearing has been heard and judgements made etc. None of us know what happened, how it happened or whom if anyone is to blame.

Hopefully positive news in the coming hours, but ultimately we cannot judge until we know more and I am confident the club would have taken all advice and made a decision based on what was felt best to proceed.
