I honestly don't think it's that though, Bruno.

I think most are looking at it as a young lad with a problem who's made a massive mistake. In situations like this, you can either turn your back on them-which will, at best, help nobody, and quite probably make things worse...or you can take the opportunity to decide to help the person through their troubles.

I'm not pretending that the club are doing this as a purely altruistic exercise, they're obviously also protecting their investment.

But, I'm actually proud of how the club have acted over this. Too many businesses in this type of scenario would have washed their hands of him and we've chosen to support him. I think they deserve a lot of credit.
