      My son is devastated he can’t change Mason Greenwood shirt as Manchester United refuse after rape arrest

      by

      A FURIOUS Manchester United fan has slammed the club after they refused to remove Mason Greenwood’s name from the back of his son’s shirt.Westley Reilly, a lifelong Red Devils fan, wanted to change the name on the back of his son Finnley’s shirt after getting a Greenwood top at the start of this season.

      Striker Greenwood, 20, has spent two nights in a police cell after cops swooped over the rape and GBH claims on Sunday morning.
      He was then further arrested today on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill as cops were granted more time to quiz him.
      Westley, 41, from Chadderton, Oldham, forked out £135 for a full kit for the Man Utd-mad youngster at the beginning of the season.
      But after the allegations against the star striker came to light, the dad contacted the club to see if he could get the name changed or removed.
      He claims that the club have said there is “nothing they can do” as he purchased the kit more than 90 days previously.
      Speaking to The Sun he said: “I’m not asking them for a refund or anything like that, I wouldn’t expect them to do that.
      “But given everything that has happened I do think they should let fans change the names without charge.

      “We have spoken to Finnley and he doesn’t want his name on his shirt anymore.
      “There are people who aren’t in a position to be able to buy another shirt, or a whole kit because of the expense.
      “It’s only from the beginning of the season, not before, so I don’t see how the 90 days should matter really.
      “I have complained to the club, but I haven’t heard anything back yet. They should change it for anyone who wants them.
      “Fans, and lifelong fans too, have bought kits for years. A simple change of a name should be allowed in this instance in these circumstances.
      “I have contacted them, and they’ve got back to me to say that they’ll be in touch soon.
      “They’ve said they’re monitoring the situation, but you’d think that the club could do something.”
      It is understood that the club is considering exchanging shirts for those with Greenwood on the back, but are unable to change the name on an existing top.
      Angry fans turned up at the club’s megastore at Old Trafford following Greenwood’s initial arrest demanding refunds for kit featuring the striker’s name and number 11.
      United has taken down all Greenwood merch from their website – with any search for his name drawing a blank.
      The club’s official partner Cadbury said Greenwood won’t appear on any of their marketing products.
      Sponsor TeamViewer also announced that they are “closely monitoring developments”.
      ‘DISTURBING ALLEGATIONS’
      Sportswear giant Nike, which provides the striker’s boots, have suspended their sponsorship with the star.
      The brand said in a statement: “We have suspended our relationship with Mason Greenwood.
      “We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation.”
      Greenwood has worn Nike boots since breaking into United’s first team in 2019.
      He has been suspended indefinitely by his club after being arrested on suspicion of rape and GBH following a series of allegations posted online.
      Crime scene investigators from Greater Manchester Police were seen parked outside the footballer’s house in Bowdon, Greater Manchester, on Sunday afternoon.
      The Premier League club initially said it did “not condone violence of any kind” and later suspended the £75,000-a-week star as a police probe was launched.
      A spokesman for the club said: “Mason Greenwood will not return to training or play matches until further notice.”
      The images and allegations were reportedly visible on the woman’s Instagram on Sunday morning, but have since been deleted.
      A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “Police were made aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.
      “An investigation was launched and following enquiries we can confirm a man in his 20s has since been arrested on suspicion of rape and assault. 
      “He remains in custody for questioning. Enquiries are ongoing.”

      Sportswear giant Nike, which provides the striker’s boots, said they are worried by the “disturbing” accusations against him.
      In a statement they said: “We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation.”
      Greenwood has worn Nike boots since breaking into United’s first team in 2019.
      He has been suspended indefinitely by his club after being arrested on suspicion of rape and GBH following a series of allegations posted online.
      Crime scene investigators from Greater Manchester Police were seen parked outside the footballer’s house in Bowdon, Greater Manchester, on Sunday afternoon.
      Security staff, thought to have been provided by his club, were present at a second home he owns nearby and they confirmed his parents were inside.
      The Premier League club initially said it did “not condone violence of any kind” and later suspended the £75,000-a-week star as a police probe was launched.

      Mafia bosses offering top UEFA referees £25k bungs online in bid to fix footie matches

      by

      MAFIA bosses are targeting top UEFA referees with cyber-crime hits to try to fix footy matches.Officials are offered up to £25,000 to swing matches, according to a leaked memo seen by The Sun.

      Criminals are using the phishing techniques fine-tuned during the pandemic to tempt refs to throw European clashes.
      The memo, which was sent to the FA and other governing bodies, warns: “The corrupters made use of cyber-crime tactics not previously seen in reported corrupter messages, possibly pointing to a bleed-over in tactics from more sophisticated groups or even the potential for collaboration with such groups.”
      It talks of “incidents in which a suspected match-fixer attempted to recruit referees to manipulate matches via social media”.
      It reads: “This evolution may have been accelerated by the Covid lockdown, during which cyber criminals both diversified and intensified their criminal activities, according to Europol.”
      The memo adds: “We assess corrupters will likely continue to attempt contact with players, referees and other officials via social media and the use of more sophisticated messages, including personalised content and manipulation techniques.”
      The messages are understood to have originated from Asian crime gangs and were sent in English — but it’s not thought British refs were targeted.

      Football manager Joey Barton faces trial TODAY accused of assaulting former Barnsley manager Daniel Stendel

      by

      BRISTOL Rovers manager Joey Barton is to go on trial today accused of attacking another football boss after a heated League One game.Barton, 39, denies attacking then-Barnsley boss Daniel Stendel back in April 2019.

      It’s claimed Barton, who was then managing Fleetwood, battered Stendel in the tunnel after a Barnsley win.
      Stendel was left with facial injuries after the alleged bust-up.
      Ex-Premier League star Barton, of Widnes in Cheshire, was said to be furious after seeing one of his players sent off in a 4-2 defeat.
      His BMW was stopped from leaving the ground by a police officer and a steward after the reported row.
      He was later arrested after Barnsley complained to South Yorkshire Police.
      Barton appeared in court on Friday, when jurors were picked for the trial.
      He is back in the dock as the hearing begins at Sheffield Crown Court today.
      The fracas was initially sparked after Fleetwood’s Harry Souttar was sent off midway through the second half.
      Barton was allegedly furious that German manager Stendel had got involved and chased him down the tunnel at the full-time whistle.
      The two managers were reportedly seen ‘squaring up to each other’ on the touchline at the final whistle, with Stendel waving his finger at Barton.
      BARTON ON TRIAL
      Barton then shook hands with Barnsley staff and the match officials before racing off up the tunnel where the alleged brawl took place, it’s claimed.
      The former midfielder played more than 250 Premier League games for Newcastle United, Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers.
      He began managing League One side Fleetwood Town in 2018, before moving to Bristol Rovers in February this year, shortly before the club were relegated to League Two.
      Barton started his football career with Manchester City in 2002 after going through their youth system and went on to make 150 appearances for the club.

      He then moved to Newcastle United in a £5.8million transfer in July 2007 before leaving for Queens Park Rangers in August 2011.
      The midfielder was then put on loan to French side Marseille during the 2012-13 season before making his way to Burnley for one season – helping promote them to the Premier League.
      Barton made one appearance for England in 2007.
