I agree with your 1st and 2nd points however regarding the sanction for CFC the only suitable punishment is expulsion from the Scottish professional football leagues. I know this seems unlikely but how do you quantify in terms of points deduction or European bans the horrors that went on there for decades and were knowingly covered up by successive executive teams. There should be some jail time for the perpetrators of the cover up as well but definitely CFC should be wound up and assets stripped and sold off.Like everyone on this thread, I’m absolutely appalled at all of this. I’m 43, so this all basically took place within my lifetime.
Question: what would the justice for this look like to most people here?
For me I’d firstly want to see the victims receive public apologies, substantial cash payouts and full vindication of what they’ve went through.
Second, public explanation from Lawell or whatever other relevant spokesperson for that club. I’d say the old guard should be hounded into it also. Explanation of why they felt it just to suppress this for 50 odd years.
Third, CFC has to be sanctioned in some way. European bans, points deductions, title removals. Mud sticks and they’ll forever be known as pedo harboure
What’s your thoughts?
I’m unsure there is the political will to do this, it very much depends on the groundswell of public feeling once this story well and truly breaks. I have said the same about the Roman Catholic Cult after countless child rapes and cover ups but money and made up mumbo jumbo still wield a lot of power globally.
I have made this point previously but if children were being raped by McDonalds Managers all over the world in McDonalds restaurants and the Area Managers and Company Directors covered it up, when the story broke they would cease trading overnight the reputational damage would far outweigh any financial/criminal sanctions and they couldn’t recover as was the case with the News of the World.
Rant over.
