Sign of the times in the West - full attention on the perpetrator of the ‘crime’ in a ‘holier than thou’ rush to be the first to defend and offer forgiveness.
The party that’s been wronged in all this is NUFC. I want what’s best for the club going forward. If that means giving Tonali full support then so be it. Footballers these days put themselves first and clubs second. Our club should do the same.
With you 100% on that, why do we all have to walk on eggshells around certain players in fear of offending them. Tonali screwed up royally and he has admitted that, the biggest loser here is Newcastle Utd. He needs to get his head down now and prepare to come back after his ban, whatever that may be, as a better player. I'm sure he will be forgiven by the vast majority of fans.
