It was the worst kept secret in sports and absolutely abhorrent that everyone involved allowed him to go on for so long.
I know tons of Arsenal fans in real life who despised seeing his name on the team sheet, this isn’t a holier than thou - my club would do better - type thing as the majority of football clubs are morally bankrupt. I hope the club gets into a lot of trouble for this
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Until the verdict comes out nothing will happen.
He could still get off right?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think so. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have the strongest case against him but they've had to go for it now before he leaves the country as it'll be their last chance.

Man City suspended Mendy who was proven innocent. Arsenal let Partey play and earn while evidence must have been strong against him. Doesn't look good for them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A jury deeming that the available evidence has not convinced them of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is not the same thing as being 'proven innocent'.
Convictions for sexual offences are notoriously low. Research has been done suggesting that around 99% of rapists will never spend a day in prison. Be careful about the language you use.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mendy was totally absolved of guilt, there was no grey area there.
The group of women tried to frame him and failed miserably as their phones were laden with evidence of how it was planned.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus, listen to yourself man. "Mendy said that being in prison while on remand had made him “learn lots of things about life”. He said that he reflected on his behaviour while sitting in his cell, and realised only then that it was possible to hurt women’s feelings even “if we were both OK to have s*x”. The way he had sometimes spoken about women was “disrespectful”, he realised." Just one snippet from the Mendy trial that points to his character. I'd love to see any evidence that conclusively proves his innocence, because I've never come across any. The point I was making is very simple. Not guilty and proven innocent are two different things. In some cases, they're very different.
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     Makes sense why Arsenal had a tie up with Persil now
All unwanted DNA washed right out.

                     Talking of the timing of this announcement being 3 days after Partey’s contract ran out, the head of the CPS, the Attorney General is a pal of Starmer and of course Two Tier Starmer is an Arsenal fan, purely coincidental🤔🤔🤬🤬
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     Purely a guess but given the timing, it seems likely that the evidence isn't clear enough to make it a simple arrest. Again a guess but the police have pulled the trigger now fearing he'll be leaving the country permanently due to no longer being tied to Arsenal.
Hasn't it been over two years since the accusations surfaced? Given that, it appears this isn't some open and shut case the police are convinced they'll win (this is all irrelevant of actual guilt, I'm talking about likely outcomes/reasons for the timing).
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     Yeah I get the impression that Arsenal releasing him is forcing their hand. 3 years to build a case up to that point is pretty nuts though.
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     If I remember rightly, Everton suspended Sigurdsson for something similar, only for the CPS to drop the charges?  The club lost a load of cash, and Sigurdsson now plays for a bowl of fish stew and a crusty roll.

I think you are stretching your imagination a bit there Genius, to suggest somehow Kier Starmer is involved with anything Partey got up to. This sounds like something GB News may put out.
