They have difficulties too.
Sure, and l wouldn't object to the club offering a helping hand to any former player. But to compare our responsibility for a current 22 year old player to that for someone who played for us for part of a season 34 years ago (in Kenny's case) is surely stretching things a bit far?
Which is my point exactly
What someone does 5, 10 -20 odd years after playing is another matter to a player going off the rails whilst still under contract is another.
Perhaps those sanctimonious keyboard warriors on here who have never made a single mistake in their life would enjoy one of their family members making a mistake and thrown not only to the dogs but also be turned into some sort of social pariah without help?
Before you start going on about people being sacked in real life for these sort of things - yes they do , but not with it splashed all over the media both here and in Australia and also the subject of forums or newspapers or comments from the likes of Brian bloody Carney.
I do not know Hamlin, BUT I can guess he is distraught and shocked at upsetting his family and his friends and then acknowledging he has let himself down and possibly destroyed his career in the process. The lad cocked up and will and should be offered help as far as the club can. We are not suggesting or discussing we offer a new deal or a pay rise. That simply will not happen.
Will he play again depends on WHAT he is exactly charged with and where that chance would come from.
