Go through this and other than names like Wilson, McNulty, Gyokeres, most of our top scorers have scored about what Simms does. We’ve been spoiled with Godden Vil and Wright to think every striker is a 20-a-season player...
Don’t think the two years is in law. I was looking into this for another internet argument a while ago. There’s the laws and there’s the guidance as well. Generally it’s set up pretty well to recognise the complexity in relationships.
Just saying this girl could be 15 and have “consented” but...
Simms is a better number 9 than wright IMO. He’s had a bad season and been in an out of the side but most seasons he’ll score you 10-15 and do a job as a target man. I think we can upgrade but I wouldn’t be desperate to move him on. Maybe bring in another option instead of BTA
Think it’s 13 and under can’t consent ever. 14/15 there can be circumstances. The length of time and stuff this looks like grooming and the family have found out and pressed charges to take a while guess.
Just going off what Saddle said about those two. TBH I suspect contracts are entirely separate from the playing side and seen like an investment looking at them. The strategy seems to be keep everyone with a couple of years even if you want rid of them.
