    Anger?? Self Righteous?

    I don't read or post on facebook and twitter and all the other stuff and so you will know more about social media than me no doubt. I heard about it on the Radio actually as it was on most bulletins that day. This was a QC led enquiry that was indeed looking and examining the available evidence and so if anyone has a gripe eg Dario or the club or anyone else, then they can challenge the enquiry findings or even take legal action if they so desire. The FA are still running their own investigations into child abuse too and it was they who suspended Dario two and a half years ago where his Chelsea role was mentioned afaik. This will no doubt form part of their findings too. Its obviously not fair on any innocent person being subject to such a long winded delay..ie justice delayed is justice denied etc. The problem is that DG is a current employee of CAFC and the bad publicity obviously affects both parties and what is wrong with the club making some sort of statement? I would imagine it would be almost impossible for DG to attend games now with away supporters no doubt relying on social media and the press for their information.

    I don't know why this QC decided to make a big issue of Dario's role other than the abuser involved continued to abuse kids which in his opinion, ie the QC it could have been prevented if the people at Chelsea had taken action immediately following this complaint.

    Mike, can I suggest you read the full report and not listen to snippets on the radio.
    Also I don't think DG is employed by the club but is a director

    Exactly a director does not mean he is paid a salary.
