They knew and someone tipped them off.Also unless they deleted it Woolwich never posted a thank you goodbye post for him when the contract ended
Add to that the whole football family knew, a CL semi finalist out of contract and no offers??They knew and someone tipped them off.
The timing of everything is so poor.
Why wait so long to charge him.
Why wait till the season finished and he was able to compete in all games he was available for before charging him.
Why wait till he was out of contract with Woolwich before charging him.
Why did Woolwich suddenly completely cease trying to get him to extend his contract unless they were given prior warning.
Why was there no 'Thanks for everything' tweet/video when he left.
The whole thing has been disgracefully handled by all sides. It may be innocent till proven guilty, but I doubt anyone else would get their charges delayed until the least disruptive possible moment.
Nobody tipped them off, they simply lucked out because Partey was greedy. But the long term damage is undisputable.
He's been a crocked for large portions of his Woolwich career and they should have quietly been trying to flog him off instead they let him sit out half a season at a time and instead of trying to nudge him out they let him run down his contract AND THEN TRIED TO RENEW??????

Its remarkable, 3 years and then 96 hours after his contract expires charges. That could be a coincidence but it’s so extraordinary it warrants a full independent investigation. It’s like a politician buying stocks just before they sky rocket, could be coincidence but very unlikely. Whether it’s political connections or simply gooner fans in the police and prosecution this smells fishier than Trump’s cryptocurrency.
It makes the Lakers playing Kobe Bryant during his rape trial look tame.Good article, here’s another.

This tells its own story:
Never before has an athlete featured in so many consequential fixtures and for such a prolonged period of time while under live police investigation.
To be fair to them they have always had this stance with PartayWhy am I hearing from these muppets now? Where was this outrage for the last 3 years?
Jokers.
And have had zero profile doing it. Very unsuccessful and now he’s left they’ve got the nerve to start piping up.To be fair to them they have always had this stance with Partay
Ogh I agree there was little complaint from the fan base as a whole.And have had zero profile doing it. Very unsuccessful and now he’s left they’ve got the nerve to start piping up.
If they were serious, they should have been turning the volume up way before now.
These newspapers need to be very careful what they publish, or his lawyers could get him off the charges, adding insult to injury for the victims.Good article, here’s another.
