The England striker having his Manchester United career ended was the easy part – it's what happens now which is a minefield
Dressing rooms are strange places and jokes can be made about the most crude and uncomfortable subjects, but Greenwood’s situation has the potential to cross a line that rarely exists.The Athletic
Greenwood has already admitted that “people will judge me” and “think the worst” because of the material that was posted on social media. In all likelihood, he was thinking of the wider public rather than other footballers, but it remains to be seen how he is received at a new club. But Corney’s reflections now are interesting because they provide an insight into the dilemma that any football club owner faces when weighing up whether to pursue a player whose ability is not in question but whose behaviour off the field would discourage most teams from going anywhere near them.
“I’m not saying I had the right to decide what is right or wrong morally, but there was definitely an element of ‘I’m getting a really good footballer that I could never afford because I’ve been a bit smart and jumped the gun and gone to meet him in prison’. He probably would have taken anything at the time.”
Oldham’s pursuit of Evans was far more controversial because of the nature of the crime for which he had been convicted at the time. Indeed, the storm that followed Oldham’s pursuit of the formerplayer threatened to bring down the club and, ultimately, led to the transfer collapsing.
