He did a good job with the current bunch.... ahem...
One signing (Mphela) and all season unbeaten in the league. Even beat Everton in the League cup.
Move over NA
I think he has come out of this remarkably well. I wonder if NC has been contractually restricted from giving references.... Otherwise the sleazy c**t would never get a job.
Admitedly I am older than Barnard, but you wouldnt catch me in Whitehouse. There are better places you can go in town as a footballer for a drink or two without getting yourself in trouble.
He will not get a custodial sentence. There arent enough prison beds for this kind of crime to justify prison space. It will be community punishment of some sort and a big fine.
Plus mateys looking at 8 - 10 k compo
No he wont. They favour non-custodial punishments for these offences unless he's a repeat offender or lacking any remorse.
As mentioned previously a close friend was bottled recently and I remember the court proceedings and solicitor discussions very well.
