"it is claimed"

Quite an important bit missing.

Bad thread.

Having read this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/my_football_dreams_were_shattered_by_barry_bennell (which is a very interesting read btw) I am convinced Crewe knew more about Bennell's behaviour than they have ever admitted.

I'm not sure even Max Clifford could get a positive spin on this latest whisper campaign against Gradi.

Lets just hope an innocent man isn't being wrongly persecuted?

Depends if any alleged victims come forward, and in what numbers.

Worse still is how Crewe fans seem to be blindly backing the club in this.

Chairman dodgers question at their fans forum and fans applaud. Weird

Good piece in the Guardian from a Crewe supporter who does feel the club have a lot to answer for

I hope this is false, football coaches are really getting a bad name.

Our PE teacher used to shower with us, even when he had hardly done anything to build up a sweat, i always thought that was weird.

Did you ever look at Sunderland's readytogo forum POST-Adam Johnson's conviction? Half the posters were animals defending him and still slagging off the school girl victim. Intelligent posters who backed the conviction, the evidence and the victim, were shouted down as traitors to the Mackems cause.

Stuff like that makes you realise how civilised our small part of the world is and NSC too!!

Not good at all.

He certainly couldn't now that he is dead.

 

[greyseagull]

- aimed at the post above!

Not the topic, because that would be bad.

 

[Mackenzie]

Hopefully those who were complicit in this will rot in prison for a long time.

 

[colinz]

I'd say he (Gradi) is conspicuous by his silence.

****ing awful. On par or worse than Saville.

 

[albion534]

words cannot describe how sick this whole thing is, and yet people are still defending the club, outrageous, prob same people defending what Celtic used to do

This article (from a Crewe fan) is a well-thought read:

Right. But it is interesting that Crewe are getting all the attention in this, whereas Manchester City are barely mentioned. As I understand it, he did just as much bad at City as he did at Crewe, but they don't seem to have as much to answer?
