    The problem with your scenario is Bradford city took the step to suspend Robinson because of the allegation because he is in the public eye. If he worked for you depending on your business you wouldn't have to take that step unless he got locked up.

    I honestly don’t think it is weird. Most work place suspensions are just not reported in the press.

    Obviously this has been discussed numerous times on here and nothing has changed recently

    Massive talent??? Possibly some unproven talent but talk about overstatement.

    After his first season, Luke O'Brien probably rated as a sure-fire future England international by those standards...

    No club is touching a player currently under serious criminal investigation so 'saving his career' isn't something you can do. The only option you really had was paid suspension, you couldn't sack him without facing legal issues, paying him off would most likely cost more than his wages (I would imagine his legal team wouldn't let him anyway as it may reflect badly if it goes to court) and even if you could get rid of him you are risking paying to offload an asset who could be sold or contribute to the club

    Pace a good crosser and an eye for goal I think that would give rise to optimism that he could be a good player . Unfortunately I don’t think we will find out. For us anyway

    What is he supposed to do? He isn't allowed to train. If he is worried about a stretch I side he might as well make the most of his freedom.

    As he was signed during the early part of the Rahic reign, his basic wage could be low, but bonuses high for success. Therefore as he’s not earning any performance related bonus, he shouldn’t be costing the club too much.

    Also I’d have thought, if he’s cleared he’ll probably want to move on, maybe back down south.

    Whatever Robinson is accused of ? or beef City have with him ?. Has there ever been a case in legal history (thats even if there is one ? ) where the accused has been "hung out to dry" as inexcusibly long as this ? Breaks slammed hard down on his career ?

    The "courious case of Tyrell Robinson". I cannot think of one ? Even the most notorious fellons usually find out their fate in half the time it has taken so far; to charge Robinson with ??...NOWT !

    Why, it's a legitimate subject...
    In the history of football what other club has suffered 2 players going missing without reasonable explanation for 1 or 2 YEARS...?

    Its the club which has decided to suspend him. legally we can't just cancel his contract. What for? He is innocent at the moment.

    Ok so firstly Robinson has not gone missing, he is suspended with valid reason.

    The investigation is in the hands of the CPS and they will decide what’s happening when they are ready.

    In the mean time we must all wait patiently as there is simply nothing any of us can do to change what is happening (or not happening!)

    Robinson is conducting himself in an embarrassing manner, out boozing, parting, filming himself on social media giving the impression he’s ‘not phased’ but this may be his way of coping with the awful mess he has found himself in.

    I’m sure this saga will come to an end eventually...

    Think fans are living on remembering his goal against Wigan and a few other Youtube highlights. Yes he has pace, so does Patrick, yes he has a trick or 2 but so does Gibson and yes he can put a cross in but so can Wood.

    Massive talent?? Not what I've seen. Like you say, unproven still and possibly won't ever get a chance to prove it.

    My post was mostly about the fact that he seems to have totally forgotten about the club that employs him. I suppose he has no connection with the current squad of players, but it’d be nice that he adds a bit of support on his many social media posts. That’s all.
    If he’s totally innocent, then perhaps the club should lift his suspension and get him playing again, but there’s obviously underlying reasons why that’s not happening.

    Funny though because folk on here were guaranteeing Reece Burke would be as well....

    Loved Burke, great player but it was L1 standard and I think folk got carried away.

    Is t he playing Chanpionship level now? Proved he’s better than league one, might still make it in the Prem. Cullen the same.
    Remember thinking the same about Doyle when he first came to us on loan (from Derby?). He was touted as a future England right back.
